Talisman 4th Edition

[Angel Tarragon]

I got my Fantasy Flight Games 2008 Spring Catalog this afternoon and lo; Fouth Edition of Talisman on page 10.

I just checked their site to get any scoops about it, but to no avail. Does anyone have any inside knowledge?

Reveile, the Talisman 4th Edition from FFG is a revision on the GW version of the 4th Edition. Basically, it "adds 14 highly detailed plastic figures (toads included), a revision of the rules, and upgraded components all around".

There's very little difference between glaring typo's, etc. between the GW version and the FFG version. There are also upgrade kits available from FFG for those who picked up the initial GW version.

Oh, okay. I didn't know that this is an update. Many thanks.

They also are producing a cheap "update pack" for owners of the original 4e set which replaces the cards & figures to be compatible with the FFG version. I'll be getting that set when it becomes available.

Cheers!

Ditto here. I can't wait for The Reaper Expansion.

FFG has changed some things on the game board (for the new mechanic, Fate). The Upgrade pack doesn't include the new board.

Thanks... Guess I will be getting the full game. Oh well, it probably won't be that much more.

Cheers!

Here's the FFG preview of the changes to the game board:

Yeah, I was just reading them.

The FFG version really looks like a superior version. It shows what happens when you get a really good boardgame company behind the design; Black Industries really didn't have much of a clue.

Cheers!
