Omen Cards

As the apocalypse looms over the world of Talisman, signs appear and prophecies are fulfilled, warning that the end is nigh. The Omen cards reveal the greatest of these signs.

Before the game begins, players must first decide which Omen set they wish to use (check the Subcategories in this page). Collect all eight Omen cards belonging to that Omen set. Then use them to make a faceup stack, starting with the 7th Omen at the bottom, then the 6th Omen, 5th Omen, etc., with the Prophecy card on the top. The stack is then placed next to the Harbinger sheet.

When an effect causes the top card of the Omen stack to be discarded, take the top card of the Omen stack and place it faceup on top of the Omen discard pile. Then resolve any immediate effects on the newly revealed Omen card. If there are no cards remaining in the Omen stack, the game is over and all characters lose the game.

If an effect places an Omen card in the Omen discard pile on top of the Omen stack, resolve any immediate effects on the newly placed card.

Continuous effects of the top Omen card of the Omen stack are always applied until the Omen is discarded or no longer the top card of the Omen stack.
