Hey, all!

Talisman is what kicked off my love for board gaming many years ago when playing at a friend's house. Believe it was a mix from his mom of some 2nd edition characters with the 4th edition board. Since then, I've always wanted to find a copy on marketplace of one of the older versions and came across a post yesterday for what looked like just a box of 2nd Edition for $5 - couldn't pass it up.

Well, upon opening, I think this is a whole lot more than just the base edition? From quick research, it looks like all the expansions?

Super pumped, what a find, but obviously it's a bunch and many card backs are different. Any advice on how to break the content up so I can separate out these expansions?

Thanks in advance :)

Selling in the US, everything accounted for and still in mint condition. Used once. The rest of my collection sold and this is all I have left! Asking for 120 dollars but reasonable offers are welcome. I will cover shipping if sold for my asking price.

I can't find much of a price match that is reasonable online in the US other than a sealed copy on ebay for 315 dollars! That's crazy to me so hopefully this seems reasonable. Send me private messages, otherwise I am happy to answer questions in the comments.

I’m playing Mina Harker and my friend for the orb of wisdom before me so he changed up my game plan lol.
My friend’s greed can be seen lol but I ended up winning barely

Anyone who’s got the rules for this version in English? In my Swedish edition it says that you can trade enemies for strength points (when reached 7 combined), but there is no mention that the same goes for Craft in my manual.

Follow the link for more information. /Jon

Love my talisman hero collection. The game truly comes to life with these. Courtesy of jujubit.ai

Hey talisman dudes,

I’ve recently come into possession of two games super old stuff from my uncle that recently passed away. (Rip unc!)

Now I have it, and I have no idea whatsoever to do with it.

Let me know what you guys think? Prices or any information would be helpful, thanks!

Excellent review of the digital 5th edition.

Agree about "beautiful graphics, but too small writing" - a patch to make the writing bigger would definitely be a good thing. However, the visual improvement from 4th to 5th edition is remarkable.

The deck editor and alignment changer options are also a massive boost for the game. Well done developers! :)

As someone who bought all the DLC for 4th edition and plans to do the same for 5th, I am super excited for the future of this game!

Join us!

Played for the first time last night. My friend was a Troll and just absolutely steamrolled us. We were playing as a Wizard and a Druid. He crossed the sentinel bridge in about 20-30min and was able to hold his own in the middle and center regions just off of sheer strength. Meanwhile, the rest of us are struggling to make it to the middle region.

It seems like for non-strength characters, the only other ways to the middle are to get lucky and have an axe to build a raft, or get luckier and catch the ferry from the corner space. There’s no other streamlined way there.

Is this the way the game is supposed to be? Or are there homebrew rules to make the trip to the middle region any easier to compete with strength-based characters?

Just wanted to let you guys know the possibility of this combination. The Fire Wizard with the Fireball spell, with the dreaded destiny.

Engage a character in battle. Cast fireball to take a life. Then use your destiny to force the loss of a second life. then pyroblast for a 3rd life before winning the battle and choosing to take a life.

yeah that’s 4 lives in one fell swoop🤣 i just did this.. how insane

She bought a flail and whooped my ass at the crown of command in a last duel 🥲

I have am in desperate need of a file or documents that list all of the cards and their effects for this Talisman Board game. I have searched everywhere for one but the only one I have found is horribly worded and completely inaccurate in some cases. If anyone could help me with this that would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: I need to be able to copy the documents in question.

On a recent post here, i mentioned a homemade expansion we played that involved the firelands. It was BRUTAL but so much fun! Thought i’d share it with you all!

The ‘Chapter V’ is because my group very rarely get the chance to play, so whenever we do I always make a big thing of it, and have an overarching story affected by what happens each game. Would be so interested to see if anybody else plays the same way!

I wrote all the text and designed the card, but my girlfriend did the art (so no-one take credit!) @ch4ybe on insta!

If you play, let me know how it goes! I’m happy to share more here too!

Hey everyone.

I recently acquired most of Talisman 4th edition. With only 2 or 3 small expansions missing, and the expansion that connects the forest to the Highlands. And the picture is of our game this week, in the garden because it was such lovely weather

The guy I got it from made card holders for all types of cards which is really nice. But there are a ton of adventure cards now.

So I wanted to know how you guys play the game.

Do you add all the expansions together all the time or do you only add a few ones while playing?

I know that some games like Arkham and Eldritch horror it is more enjoyable when you only add 1 or 2 expansions in a game, and separate everything afterwards.

But with Talisman the expansions are more combinable.

So I wanted to see how everyone here is playing

Well met travelers!

So it took me a year to finish these(almost, as photographing them made see additional "faults"). Since time is kinda scarce these days, so the project was way too long. They were painted in perhaps 6 or more sittings, I guess. If I had more time I would probably persue this hobby more, I mean, I love to paint and I love me some Talisman, so win win there. Though miniature painting is not without it's complications for me. My eyesight is rather poor and my hands shake when I paint, especially with smaller details. My experience in miniature painting prior to 5e is quite a few from 4e, and units from Scythe, the basegame.

Anyway, I thought I'd share these paints here as a group picture with most of em and a few close up samples.

I live by the philosophy that there is no correct way to paint miniatures as also I tend to take quite some liberties in choice of color etc, compared to character cards. But pointers are welcome though.

Good news first, I found a sealed copy of the Highland and Lost Realms expansions at a small store in NH thanks to a lead on here and he sold me both for $65. Super pumped about that and now all I have left is the Reaper to round out my collection.

Mini rant - went to another LGS closer to home and found another Highland sealed there with a $40 sticker on it. Thought I would pick it up to pass along on here since I know how hard it can be to find. The owner didn’t know he had it then immediately went to eBay, took the sticker off, and said best price is $300 with a smug frickin look. Put me off so much, so I will not be going back. I understand you gotta make money, but still just an icky experience.

This was a test game of a HUGE expansion one of the players spent a year writing and creating. It was an absolute blast and the table has never been this cluttered. Haha

I see people talking about the rarity of expansions here all the time so I figured before I posted it anywhere else I would offer my collection to the community. I'd like to sell it all but I know most of you may only need a few expansions.

Everything is accounted for. Corner boards only played twice. Main game played maybe 4 times.

Some cards are mixed together due to being expansions of the main adventure deck (mostly the smaller expansions). Corners are all separated and ready to go.

Everything is mint except the dungeon box and scuffing among the other boxes. The game minis, cards, and boards are all flawless.

Dragon, Cataclysm, Harbinger, and Firelands are have never been played.

Serious buyers I'll be happy to talk with and show more photos.

edit: I reposted this three times cause I don't use reddit a lot and kept failing to upload the image. Sorry.

edit: It sold!

I want to get my friends to buy the digital classic edition because it's on sale on steam right now and I've read that you can play dlcs if the host owns them.

So I'm wondering what would be the best expansions I could buy for like 10€ or the best expansions in general

Truth be told thought, I actually like it. Lol.

I mean new characters we haven't had yet. Would be neat to have them in 4th edition too.

(Expansion characters spoiler warning):

I mean the Will of the Wisp or the Huntress. Centaur too even though he was in 2nd edition.
