Good have been so good…
I used to play Talisman a lot as a kid and this is just like I remember; the brilliant characters, the beautiful art work and the simplest of instructions. Fantastic.
However, the problem with this is that the dice roles are clearly not random chance. The amount of times that I fight an enemy - be it with strength or craft - and I get a one, and my AI opponent a six. Then I use a fate, only to re-roll a one again.
Now, I’m not at all a sore loser. The fun thing about Talisman was always just taking your chances in a fight, but the dice roles are just too predictable that it does take the fun away and makes it more frustrating. It’s a simple thing to sort, I would imagine. It’s just a shame, otherwise I’d have given 5/5.

Fun and faithful reproduction
It’s fun, and having no setup time is awesome. I’ve had this game for a long time, and the developers have ironed out bugs that plagued the game back in 2019.
Every week you can try a different expansion pack for free. Some I like more than others. Halloween is on the horizon, the Blood Moon expansion with cards like All Hallows Eve, Mummy King, Night Carriage, Trick & Treats, and of course Headless Horseman are especially thematic. That also has day and night game board theming and a wandering Werewolf that—if you’re unlucky—can take many lives in a single turn.
In 2019 I have this 3 stars because it was buggy. The bad reviews tend to be older. Glad their development team has been bug-squashing.

Great adaptation of the board game
A great adaptation of the 4th edition of the board game. I have most of the expansions also to give variety to game setup, and I get to play the expansions which are quite difficult to buy in the board game real version. Play with the rules and set up to create different game conditions and experience.
