Component Overview
These tokens represent areas of Ifrit
influence that are dangerous to even
the most stoic adventurer.
Below is a brief description of every game component.
Adventure
Cards
The Firelands Symbol
This deck of 81 cards contains the
many creatures, events, and items
that characters can discover on
their quest.
Cards in this expansion are marked with an Ifrit flame symbol
so you can distinguish them from the cards in the base game.
Spell Cards
This deck of 19 cards provides a
variety of new Spells that may be
cast during the game.
1
Expansion Rules
Each space can have only one fireland token on it at any time.
If a space already has one fireland token on it, players cannot
place fireland tokens on that space.
When playing with The Firelands expansion, players
are required to use the new Adventure Cards, Spell Cards,
fireland tokens, and Terrain Cards. The Adventure Cards and
Spell Cards work like those in the base game and should be
shuffled into their respective decks. The new character cards,
character figures, and Alternative Ending Cards can be played
either with this expansion or independently. This rulesheet
explains how to use the new components to enhance your
Talisman experience.
Players cannot place fireland tokens in the Inner Region.
Terrain Cards
Under the influence of the Ifrit,
the land irrevocably shifts and
changes. Certain game effects
instruct players to place a Terrain
Card on a space on the game
board. While a Terrain Card is on
a space, the text and name of that
space is ignored and the text and
Terrain Card
name of the Terrain Card is used
instead. If an effect refers to a space that is no longer on the
board because that space contains a Terrain Card, that effect is
ignored. For example, if the “Temple” space contains a “Ruins”
Terrain Card and a “6” is rolled at the Tavern, the effect of
moving to the Temple is ignored. Terrain Cards can only be
removed by effects that specifically remove Terrain Cards.
Strength/Craft
Ifrit Invader
Many of the Enemies in The Firelands possess a Strength/
Craft value. If a character encounters these Enemies, he can
choose to fight all these Enemies in either battle or in psychic
combat. Characters may exchange trophies with a Strength/
Craft value for either Strength counters or Craft counters.
Enemy - Elemental
Strength/Craft: 3
Burn
When you encounter the
Ifrit Invader, place 1 fireland
token on your space and
burn the top 3 cards of the
Adventure deck. He will
remain here until killed. 1
Strength/Craft
Value
Players cannot place Terrain Cards on spaces in the Inner
Region. If an effect instructs a player to place a Terrain Card
where he cannot, he ignores that effect.
Burn is a new effect that represents the complete incineration
of part of the Talisman world. If a player is instructed to burn
a card, he removes it from the game and places it in the game
box. That card is a burnt card; game effects do not interact
with burnt cards unless specifically stated.
If an effect causes a player to place a Terrain Card on a space and
there are no cards of the required type left in the Terrain deck, he
must choose a Terrain Card on the board of that type and move
it to that space. If a player places a Terrain Card on a space
that already contains a Terrain Card, he removes the original
Terrain Card from that space and returns it to the Terrain deck.
Fireproof
Some cards are immune to the ravages of flame and cannot
become burnt cards. These cards possess the fireproof symbol.
Cards with the fireproof symbol are not affected by burn effects.
If a player places a new character on the game board, he
ignores any Terrain Cards when placing that character.
If an effect causes a player to burn a card, he cannot choose a
card that has the fireproof symbol. If all cards have a fireproof
symbol, then nothing happens.
If the Sentinel space contains a Terrain Card, characters may
cross freely from the Outer Region to the Middle Region; they
do not have to defeat the Sentinel. Likewise, if the Portal of
Power space contains a Terrain Card, characters may cross
freely from the Middle Region to the Inner Region; they do
not have to pick or force the lock, nor are they stopped by the
Warlock if they have an uncompleted warlock quest.

Terrain Cards and Other Expansions
When using an expansion board, if a Terrain Card is on a
space that allows movement between boards, characters can
still move to and from the expansion board following the
normal movement rules of that expansion.
If an effect causes a player to burn a number of cards from a
deck, he reveals that many cards from the top of the deck, sets
aside all cards with the fireproof symbol, and burns all the
remaining cards. Then, he shuffles all the cards he set aside
and places them back on top of the deck.
When using The Firelands with The City expansion, Terrain
Cards cannot be placed on the “Jail” or “Town Square” spaces
of The City expansion board.
Fireland Tokens
Fireland tokens represent the destructive
influence of the Ifrit, who bring flame and death
wherever they march. If a character ends his
turn in a space with a fireland token, he must
lose 1 life.
Fireland Token
If a Terrain Card is placed on the last space of an expansion
board, such as the “Treasure Chamber” from The Dungeon
expansion, a character must end his movement when entering
that space, then encounter the Terrain Card instead of that space.

Noble Ifrit Cards
Then, shuffle the remaining Alternative Ending Cards at the start
of the game, draw one card at random, and place it facedown
on the Crown of Command at the centre of the game board.
Some Enemy Adventure Cards included in The
Firelands expansion have ongoing effects
that are in play until the Enemy is defeated.
These Noble Ifrit cards are identified by their
distinctive colour.
Encountering Alternative Endings
Some Objects feature the “Trinket” keyword printed above the
card’s special ability. Trinkets are treated like normal Objects,
except they doSuleiman’s
not count toward
Seal a character’s carrying limit.
Alternative Ending Cards replace the base game’s victory
conditions, offering players new ways to win the game. When
using the Alternative Ending Cards, characters on the Crown
of Command must encounter the Alternative Ending Card
and follow the rules printed on the card; they cannot cast the
Command Spell or encounter other characters on the Crown
of Command unless the Alternative Ending Card specifically
states otherwise.
Trinkets may be ditched, discarded, stolen, or sold like
normal Objects.
All other rules regarding the Inner Region still apply when
playing with Alternative Ending Cards:
Trinkets
Noble Ifrit
Magic Object
Trinket
Automatically defeat a
Spirit or Elemental in your
space. Then place this card
on the Temple space. If you
cannot, discard it instead.
You cannot take this
card from the Temple
unless you pay 1 Fate.
• None of the creatures in the Inner Region (nor any of the
Alternative Ending Cards) can be affected by any Spell.
They also cannot be evaded.
Trinket
Keyword
• Characters on the Crown of Command cannot move and
must remain on that space unless the Alternative Ending
Card specifically states otherwise.
Alternative Ending Cards
The inclusion of Alternative Ending Cards is optional, and
5
players should agree whether or not to use them before
starting the game. The Alternative Ending Cards included in
The Firelands expansion are usable with Alternative Ending
Cards from other expansions.
• After any character reaches the Crown of Command, any
character who is killed automatically loses the game.
Alternative Ending Cards often affect only
characters on the Crown of Command.
However, instructions that have a star icon
at the start of their text affect all characters,
no matter what Region they are in, including
characters on the Crown of Command.
Setup
Setup for Alternative Ending Cards is determined by which of
the two game variants players decide to use. Players can start
the game with the card either revealed or hidden.
Revealed Variant
The revealed variant has a greater impact on characters during
the course of the game and offers players more strategy.
If players use the revealed variant, remove all
Alternative Ending Cards that have a hidden
icon (shown at right) in their upper-left corner
and return them to the game box.
Then, shuffle the remaining Alternative
Hidden Icon
Ending Cards, draw one Alternative Ending
Card from the top of the deck, and place it faceup on the
Crown of Command at the centre of the game board.
Hidden Variant
The hidden variant adds mystery to the Talisman experience
by preventing players from knowing the dangers that await
them at the Crown of Command.
If players use the hidden variant, remove all
Alternative Ending Cards that have a revealed
icon (shown at right) in their upper-left corner
and return them to the game box.
