I'm not a big Talisman fan. A little too much luck, a little too much screwage especially when you invest so much to get what you've got. But the thing that really kills it for me is that it's just too long. I would enjoy the game immensely if it took about half the time. I was totally curious about this game. Now I totally don't need to spend my money on it. Thanks BGJ! I always wondered if I was playing this wrong.
Fantasy Flight reckon this game takes 90 minutes to play, yet most games I've played take 4 to 6 hours. Yeah, I wonder how Fantasy Flight actually calculates their times. I don't think I've ever played any of their games as fast as they claim they are. Most of their games seem to need at least an hour more than they say. I haven't really heard about Talisman, not until my kids forced to play it with them.
So it was their mother that bought it for them and I believe it is a pretty fun game overall. This brings back memories of Ragnarok and Tales games, if you know what I mean. Are you racing to get to the crown as quickly as possible?
We've always enjoyed seeing how much cool stuff we could get rather than turning it into a race Sheesh, lighten up and have some fun, that's the point of playing a game anyway, isn't it? I first got a copy in Talisman: The Frostmarch Expansion Wave 1. Talisman: The Highland Expansion Wave 1. Talisman: The Dragon Expansion Wave 2.
Talisman: The City Expansion Wave 2. Talisman: The Firelands Expansion Wave 3. Talisman: The Woodlands Expansion Wave 3. Talisman: The Harbinger Expansion Wave 3.
Talisman: The Cataclysm Expansion Wave 3. For those keeping track that should be all the expansions including the print to demand Deep Realm. Wave 1 currently is still going through some stock issues in the North American Region but are much easier to come by. The second wave in North America should be arriving in February or March.
This is set to release at the September date as well. There have been conflicting reports on when these sets will actually be released. We can expect sometime around September for the english version based on the Pegasus Spiele Website when looking further into these product pages. There is some confusion to older site entries currently that are dated for November like the Firelands Expansion.
But it seems as the images of the sets with the correct company logo on them that the date is correcting to September. This further aligns with the September release. Pegasus Spiele is also currently running a contest where the winner can win a copy of the reprint base game and that can be found here! This will run to August 31st Quite fitting seeing the new expected arrival time over in Europe is August.
The English version still appears to be sitting at September North America is expected to be receiving a new batch of the reprinted base game in July with reprint expansions in August of This information was picked up after we contacted Pegasus Spiele directly. The scoring rules for the others can be used just fine as the games are similar enough across the board.
No complaints to be found here! All of the basics are there, but the center of the board, The Crown of Command, is designed to reduce the number of players to one: the victor. Upon reaching this space, the player casts the Command Spell and rolls a die.
On a nothing happens, but on a all other characters lose a health point. If two or more characters are on The Crown of Command at the same time, they must use their turn to engage in combat with another player. There can only be one! Kingdom Hearts and Batman adopt the faster play rule variants of 4th Edition as the new norm while being sure to include the traditional rules in the back of their rulebooks for those jonesing for a longer game. A nice touch. The Batman version of Talisman is all about defeating Batman, of course!
As with 4th Edition , PvP player versus player encounters are possible and even advantageous. The winner can either force their opponent to lose a health point, or they can take an Object or a piece of currency from them.
Borrowing a mechanic featured in the 4th Edition Blood Moon and Reaper expansions, he is an enemy on the prowl at all times during play.
When a player rolls a 1 for movement, they carry out their turn as usual and then roll a second die to determine how far Batman will move — choosing his direction as well as his opponent if there are multiple choices on a given space. Talisman: Kingdom Hearts offers much more opportunity for cooperation than the other editions, but there will still only be a single victor. This feels very appropriate given the Disney theme, for sure!
PvP is nowhere to be found. Instead, if two characters find themselves on the same space they can opt to trade or sell items and even aid each other in combat. I like the Batman edition of the game better than I do the Kingdom Hearts one myself, but that is only partly due to my level of familiarity and affection with them both.
