Avalon Hill Talisman ALLIANCES

Bought as something to do other than watch films at Christmas, but I thought we’d play a couple of times only. We’ve played it so much more. With just two of us we like it best to have two characters each, makes it more interesting. Good quality components, fun to play. It takes a few hours for someone to win and it’s fun at every turn

Such a fun game! It is a nice, long game that is great for game lovers. I love all the pieces and cards that add to the adventure.

Talisman fifth edition is a great update of the classic adventure board game. I previously owned the second edition when growing up and literally played this game for hours and hours. I can honestly say, being able to play an updated version of the game with my own children is truly magical. The game play is very similar to previous additions. It’s simple to set up but does require a good amount of table top space. The rule book is large, clear and easy to follow. Play time can be anything between 1 to 2 hours, however, we find, by using our own house rule’s we are able to speed this along quite a lot, making the game even more enjoyable. The option to choose from 12 characters really adds to the fun of the game. The troll is probably one of the strongest and easiest to play, a great option for new or younger players. When playing with our children, we avoided picking magical characters for the first few games. This helped to keep the game play simple. What makes this talisman addition stand out for me is the quality of the figures. They have wonderful details and I found them very easy to paint. I used a black undercoat and then dry brushed the highlights in white. I then use transparent oil paints to add colour. The magic of adventure board gaming is still here. This is a great opportunity to relive your youth or introduce a whole new generation to table top board gaming.

Good edition to the 5th edition core box set.
