In my experience with Talisman-...Good review, Dan.<br /><br />In my experience with Talisman--and I've played various editions off and on for nearly twenty years--what you get out of it is the inverse of what you put into it. If you're a serious gamer looking for a nail-biting test of nerdhood, then Talisman probably isn't for you. While there's more to Talisman than meets the eye for most folks, there's no denying that luck plays a major role in the outcome. Chess it ain't.<br /><br />But when I'm in the mood to play a friendly game as I unwind after a rough day at work, Talisman is my game of choice. When I don't take Talisman too seriously, I find myself having a ton of fun. It's easy to play, so anyone can win, and every game is different. Each game is a world to explore and a story to tell.<br /><br />A parting word of advice: Many new players make the mistake of being too nice to each other's characters. Talisman is at its best, in my opinion, when a big group gets together and plays MEAN. Just remember to have a couple beers beforehand, and to laugh when the dice screw someone.notorioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038243861003910436noreply@blogger.com
