    First Edition player from back in the day here. My former partner and her boy used to LOVE playing this, and there are many happy memories. Such a lovely designed game and board. Thanks for the memories.

    I love the old gw artwork from the 80's. You just don't see artwork like that in games these days.

    I remember first playing this in1993 in a tent with a torch in my mates garden during summer holidays when I was 12. My mates mums boyfriend had pretty much every single GW game release so we had a huge cupboard full of treasures. He had every single paint set too and let us help ourselvs to any game we wanted and let us paint what ever we wanted aswell. He was a compulsive collector but rarely even had time to open the boxes, let alone play anything!
    I never liked the idea of this game until We played it. Like you say - its the artwork of the board and cards which really bring it to life!! It was 2nd edition we played I think. Seeing this viseo after all these years is absolubtly amazing! Thanks dude!!

      Talisman seems to bring really good memories to those that encountered it. Glad you liked the video and thanks for sharing a nice memory of it!

    My favourite Talisman was definitely 3rd edition, the artwork & miniatures top notch!

      2nd Is still my favourite although due to the missing board section I play 4th the most.

    Thank you for highlighting this great game which I still play with great pleasure.
    I own the V2 and the V4. It makes me want to buy the V3 and some extensions to complete my collection.

    Love the video, and have come to love Talisman as well :) Back in the 80s and 90s my gaming group was only into things like Rolemaster and Squad Leader and Diplomacy and Star Fleet Battles; and were far too *serious* for GW games... It's only been in the last 6 or 7 years since I've gotten back into tabletop gaming that I've been able to experience the joy of games like Heroquest and Space Hulk, and it took the online version of Talisman for me to get my current gaming friends to play :) Thanks for this retrospective; I'm pretty up on the history of video games because I was deep in them for 20+ years, but the evolution of board games fascinate me :)

      Thank you. This was a great video for me to do because there was so much there to tell and work with. Talisman to me is the monopoly of fantasy board games. Fun simple and games can be long.

    Man, such a blast from the past. I started out with 2nd edition myself, and gradually purchased the old white metal figures that coresponded with the game. I actually managed to keep hold of my Talisman druid up until a couple of years ago, when a box of miniatures got misplaced during a house move.

    Thanks a lot for this exhaustive review.
    I remember playing the 2nd edition. The character that had the ability to get a 2nd draw for adventure cards (the prophetess I guess) seemed to be the most cheated to me.
    I was a kid however, and might not have well understand the rules.
    Is there more strategic aspect in the 4th edition, or is it still ultimately based on die and card draw?
