[QUOTE="War Golem, post: 887586, member: 142"] My gaming group played the new edition last night. I used to play it a lot back in the 80's, but had forgotten a lot about it... just remembered that it was a super-fun boardgame cross between D&D and Paranoia, and a lot of fun. The game is long! We played with 6 players and it took nearly four hours to finish. The game is very variable; I'm sure it could have gone faster depending on who picks up which cards. Most of the "broken" cards mentioned so far are still in the game, but the two problematic characters people mentioned (Troll, Prophetess) are gone. We did spend a fair bit of time trying to interpret rules, as the written rules that come with the game are very brief, but this just seemed par for the course for a gaming group - there's at least a few rules interpretations discussions every time we game. Maybe non-gamers trying to play Talisman would find it more frustrating in this regard? Anyway, it is pricey (that's GW), but worth grabbing if you can. It made an excellent off-night activity for our group. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
