The grand-daddy of all GW fantasy boardgames given a make over by FFG.
Simple to play, addicative as hell. It now has 4 expansions, some re-makes of the old expansions, 2 brand new...

[Veldemere]

Ahhh a personal favourite. First couple of expansions were mandatory, dungeon was ok, city was alright but could overpower the game a bit, timescape sucked the big dogs one.

[fatolaf]

Dungeon and City have been re-done but there is now a new one called Reaper....

I think when the boardgame is back in stock, we will def get at least one for the OG club..

[fatolaf]

And these are the expansions:

The Upgrade pack...



The Reaper....



And the Dungeon...

What's with the new 'cartoon' graphics?

What's with the new 'cartoon' graphics?

I quite like them. But then again I have not seen inside the new boxes yet..
The old artwork was pretty cartoonish though mate...

I just wonder if the new 'reaper' set would work with my 3rd edition board...

Sneak peak from the new Talisman Highlands expansion which can be pre-ordered from the store now..

Legends say all magic in the land comes from an enchanted stream that flows from the tallest mountain. Atop the tallest peaks, the magical waters are at their most pure and potent, and the banks are littered with precious gems. But one must beware, for within the Highland dwells the feared Eagle King, guardian of the source of magic...

Last month, we announced the upcoming release of The Highland, a new expansion for the beloved board game Talisman. The Highland adds a whole new Region to the game for heroes to explore. A custom-fitted map board and over 100 new cards bring this mountainous realm vividly to life, while six brand-new characters, each represented with a superbly detailed plastic miniature, offer fantastic new playing experiences.

Today, in the first of several previews of this exciting ascent to the realm of the formidable Eagle King, we’ll catch a glimpse of one of six new characters joining the adventure, the clever and resourceful Alchemist.

An inventive, dedicated master of the arcane sciences who relentlessly pursues esoteric knowledge, the Alchemist has unraveled the mysteries of physical matter. He can discard his redundant or otherwise useless Object Cards to fill his coin purse with gold!

As if that weren’t enough, the Alchemist can then use his mastery of elixirs to convert his gold into any one of several helpful potions... even on the same turn in which he created that gold! In short, the Alchemist is a man of resources, and wherever his quests take him, he’s unlikely to find himself wanting for the means to get things done.

A powerful and seductive undead entity cursed with the need to prowl the night, the Vampiress can feed on the recently deceased of the Graveyard, healing her life by one. And if her victim isn’t quite dead yet... well, she can deal with that too. She can tempt followers away from their masters, and either keep them for herself or make a light snack of them!
