| Talisman is fun if you just want something to occupy your time while you sit around a table and kibbitz with the buddies, drink beers, and not use your brain.
If you want something with actual strategy and tactics....Talisman is not that game.
I think there is a place for both kinds of games, but it helps to know which kind of game is which.
That is why I don't care for the game Arkham Horror. Its very similar to Talisman in that you wander around a board and draw cards and fight monsters but very unsimilar in that you don't get to turn off your brain for the gameplay portion, which ruins the whole point of that style of game (for me anyway).
