[QUOTE="Charles Dunwoody, post: 8145213, member: 17927"] I have a friend who plays every game like it is life or death. He is planning moves ahead, reading spaces, doing math for all I know. He gives me a headache sometimes. So what do I think he's[I] doing[/I]? Getting up to shenanigans. I know he figured out a way to get gold from the City expansion and use his alchemist follower to build a financial empire. He bought a Talisman somehow and won the game. I might have ended up having to pay him real money after that based on some obscure rule he invoked. I have another friend who argues rules and syntax. No, I think teleport works even if you are a toad even though the toad has a move of 1. I should still get a roll. So what do I think he's[I] doing[/I]? Getting up to high jinks. He reads all the words and puts emphasis on different ones so the toad can do more than move 1 space. He has a PhD in malarky. Lots of ways to play Talisman. Some suck way more than others. Some are in the spirit of the game and some are not. Still the best 100s of bucks I ever spent. And since I bought it I get to go first. Showed both my friends. It is [I]IN[/I] the rules. Best day ever. [/QUOTE]
