Update - 13th January - Mac version and free characters!

Mac version released! Free characters! New Achievements! Many bug fixes! Read on for a gigantic list of new features and fixes...

Mac Version -
The game is now available for Mac OSX. Cross-platform multiplayer works between PC & Mac. Android and iOS platforms will be added to cross-platform multiplayer in the next few weeks.

New FREE Characters -
The Pirate and Ninja are now available to select in-game and have been included for free to thank you all for your support over the last year of Talisman: Digital Edition development.
Unseen since 1986/7, these two characters are updated to fit with the 4th revised edition.
If you have the 'Standard Characters Only' House Rule on, you will not have the Pirate or Ninja in your game.
You can read the Pirate and Ninja's stats and abilities HERE -> http://www.talisman-game.com/ninja-pirate/#more-5406

New Achievements -
We've added 51 new achievements to the game, which mostly cover the expansion packs and extra characters. 11 of them are for the Highland expansion, as yet unreleased, so they cannot be achieved yet.

New House Rule -
Winner Takes All - Requires the Dungeon expansion pack.
The first player to defeat the Lord of Darkness wins the game.

Re-Join Online Games -
You can now re-join an online game without everyone having to leave and resume. If you are disconnected, or need to leave for any reason, you can re-join the game later by selecting it on the online games screen. You will return to the game at the start of the next turn.

Bug fixes (there have been many more than this, these are just a select few)...

Couldn't evade the Battle Hulk if it was encountered after casting Metamorph.
Weakness spell could be cast on someone with the Amulet.

Fixed an endless loop with an AI Elf and the Herbalist card.
Fixed too much glowing on spaces you can move to, which was causing crashes on lower spec machines.
Removed the Auto Join feature for online games. It was causing many connection problems.

Fixed being able to draw a new spell with the Wand if the previous spell you cast was Destroy Magic.

Fiend Slayer follower didn't work at the Monster Pit.
Crash fix - encounter the Summoning Circle space if there is an enemy already there and it is the only enemy in the Dungeon.
AI speed setting now affects the 'start of turn' delay, speeding the game up a little.
Fixed characters fighting themselves after being teleported away from the Crown of Command space.
Fixed the Elf AI returning to Woods spaces which contain objects he cannot have.
Fixed being able to select 0 lives to heal at the City Doctor.
Cards being looked at because of the Crypt Keeper or Treasure Chest are no longer hidden to other players.
Fixed a crash/hang that would occur if you ditched more cards than you would have drawn on a space.

Happy New Year to you all!

The Dungeon Expansion Now Available!

The Dungeon expansion is now available!

This new expansion adds a whole new region for heroes to explore. Brave the untold dangers and confront the Lord of Darkness! Also included are 168 new cards and 5 characters - Amazon, Gladiator, Philosopher, Gypsy and Swashbuckler.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/267775

Gold Pack and Season Pass owners will have access to the Dungeon with no extra purchase required.

Many thanks to the Beta testers for their help!

Other New features -

The game now runs at a silky smooth 60fps.

You can now change the number of players in an online game from the lobby screen. Use the + and - buttons to add player slots or remove slots. This will also kick players from the game if they were in a slot which was removed.

You can now click on card names in the Game Log and the card will appear for you to read.

New House Rules -
Standard Characters Only - the game will only use characters from the base game and official expansions.
Treasure Card Rewards - Requires Dungeon - Upon completion of a Warlock Quest, players may choose a random Treasure Card or a Talisman as their reward.
Random Treasures - Requires Dungeon - Whenever you gain a Treasure Card, you are given a random one rather than being able to choose one.
The House Rules list is getting rather large and we will be re-arranging it soon so that it's easier to use.

Fixes -

Achievements which required a goal to be completed several times (Trophy Master, Online Adventurer, etc.) were unlocking too early.

Online games - looking at any of your cards during another player's turn caused the game to pause for everyone.

Online - Players remained as AI players for the rest of the game if their timer ran out during character selection.

The 'View Board' option would sometimes get stuck lower down the screen if many options had been available.

You can now cast Path of Destiny on a Toad.

Freeze & Reflection spells weren't working correctly together.

Fixed having to click 'Encounter' twice when encountering a Spirit as the Necromancer.

A scroll-bar has been added to the online chat window.

Runestones weren't working correctly in online games and causing mismatched choice errors.

AI's evaluation of the Sky Screecher improved.

Druid wasn't gaining the correct number of spells from the Woods if he landed there because of Transference.

Necromancer couldn't use more than one enthralled spirit at a time.

Available options at the Graveyard in some situations corrected.

Fixed having an extra turn if you were killed during Temporal Warp's effect.

Fixed some cards disappearing (black shape) when being used.

Prophetess and Orb of Knowledge 'replace card' ability reworked slightly.

Dark Cultist wasn't able to roll on her reward chart if she defeated an enemy that gives a stat bonus (e.g. Doppelganger).

Fixed Lucky Charm usage when rolling for the Gust of Wind spell.

Usability fix - if you have space for objects in a Concealed Pouch or other type of bag, you can use it at the point where you're asked to ditch objects because you have too many.

The Gambler had the option to sell trophies whilst casting the Command Spell, which made the game get stuck.

Fixed House Rule settings being overwritten by local save information in online games.

Crash when Black Ice is cast on a space in the Inner Region.

Marked for Glory could be cast in situations where you had no dice to roll.

Could cast Marked for Glory even if you had the Amulet.

Lucky Charm and Marked For Glory are now easier to use when rolling more than one dice.

You can now teleport past the Portal of Power even if you have an active Warlock's Quest, with cards such as the Magic Portal and the Lord of the Pits.

Druid gains the correct number of spells if he's moved to a Woods space via Transference.

Necromancer can use more than one enthralled spirit in psychic combat.

The auto-switching of tabs in the Play Area is now a toggle in the advanced options.

Events/Enemies with encounter number 1 are now encountered in the correct order.

As usual, thanks to everyone for the continued feedback. We always read the forums but don't always have the time to respond.

Happy dungeon delving!

Сам лично обожаю настольные игры. Дома есть монополия, ужас Аркхэма и ещё несколько. Но я приобрёл первую настольную игру в стиме. Это как раз и есть талисман. Первое, что сразу бросается в глаза, - наличие множества персонажей. Каждый обладает своими способностями и начальными характеристиками, поэтому на старте одним персонажам будет легко, другим - не очень. Но со временем, если грамотно и быстро расформиться, можно будет никого не бояться. Второе - наличие разнообразных карт: вещи, события, персонажи. И если в ужасе Аркхэма все карты разбиты на множество колод, то здесь все карты перемешаны в одной, и поэтому трудно предугадать, что будет дальше. Если играть в неё слишком часто, начинает надоедать (стандартная фишка всех настолок, особенно ессли играть в одного). Но, тем не менее, всем любителям настолок и карточных игр рекомендую. Все, кто не входит в эту категорию, рекомендую посмотреть что-то другое.

1)Необходимо пройти через ад: прокачать своего героя, не став лягушкой.
2)Не стать легкой добычей вашему сопернику, став лягушкой.
3)Найти талисман и уничтожить всех остальных лягушек на карте
В игре бесконечное число возможностей унизить противника и быть самому униженным.
-"Тащите на скалу его. Ты жив дружище?"###@@###
Вот примерные вежливые диалоги во время игры.
Если вы любите игральные автоматы и магию случайных чисел, то эта игра для вас...Виива Вегас с его блэк джэком и черными ш####и, то есть магами))
Так же есть dlc с дополнительным куском карты и + 1000 часов игры)
Игра достойна долгих зимних вечеров в компании друзей, которые к концу ночи станут вам врагами)
Оценка 12 из 10 лягушек добравшихся до талисмана.
Заклинаю не садитесь за игру на 5 минут=могут пройти сутки пока вы выйдите из лабиринта иллюзий

Взял по скидке со всеми дополнениями. Игра поражает количеством возможных ваиантов равития событий.
В итоге на компьюере где COD AW идет на максимальных без проблем, сижу второй день играю в эту настольную игру :)
Выиграть пока не удалось ни разу...
Рекомендую всем кому нравятся настольные игры с картами и у кого нет проблем с базовым английским.
В своем жанре для меня она лучшая. Heartstone- нервно курит за дверью.
UPD: Я выиграл!!! Это возможно! Даже скриншот на память сделал...

UPD 17 января 2015, спустя 5-8 партий в сингле и онлайне...

Английская версия "Короны Эмбера"...
Кто знаком с оригиналом(нашим, русским, который "корона", а не с буржуйским "Talisman") - тот оценит малую наполненость контентом...
Кто не знаком с оригиналом, но знаком с настолками вообще - будет недоволен затянутостью ходов(можно поправить увеличить скорость хода ИИ + скорость "камеры"), что не является чем то необычным для жанра "настолок", и "дырками" в правилах(которые всё же парвятся патчами, хоть и по долгу)...
Кто же не знаком с настолками вообще - будет в шоке как можно в это играть, ведь нет "пиу-пиу", "пыщ-пыщ-пыщ" и вообще "как тут играть!"...

Самое смешное: игра по объёму выходит к "Короне" только со всеми аддонами... + стоимость этих самых дополнений как то не греет сердце...
С другой стороны у игры самы честный "Сезонный Пропуск", из всех, что я видел в steam... в него входят ВСЕ БЕЗ ИСКЛЮЧЕНИЙ дополнения, большая часть из которых всё ещё(год спустя) не вышла... это вам не серия "Borderlads", где за сизон пасс вы получите первые четыре дополнения, НО самое интересное выпускают пятым, шестым, одинадцатых DLC...

Всё же играть очень интересно, особенно за неимением хоть какого то прямого конкурента в жанре... Партии интересны не разнообразием карточек и "доски", а тем, как всем этим правят игроки, как отхватывают в самых неожиданных ситуациях, и как самый "заморыш" выигрывает партию, за счёт расчитаных действий и капельки удачи...

Итог: 11 Принцев Корвинов из 14 сыновей Оберона.

Игра заинтересует прежде всего тех, кто знаком с миром настольных игр. Данная игра являет собой полное, дословное переложение 4-го издания настольного шедевра "Talisman". Здесь мы видим настолку "как она есть" - от оформления игрового поля и миниатюр персонажей до таких мелочей как рубашки карт приключений. Существует возможность играть как против игроков управляемых компьютером, так и против таких же обладателй цифровой копии "Талисмана" в режиме мультиплеера. Во встроенном магазине есть возможность приобрести несколько расширений (буквально, поскольку расширения к талисману являются дополнительными игровыми зонами приставляемыми к основному полю) или же игровых персонажей.
Советовать игру как "маст хэв" не могу, поскольку из настольного оригинала перекочевали и отрицательные моменты - незамысловатость игрового процесса, который являет собой по сути обычный "кинь-двинь", практически полная зависимость игроков от результатов броска кубиков и как следствие, затянутость игры.
В целом же, достойный "порт" настолки на ПК. Настольщиков заинтересует и кто знает, может подтолкнет людей с настольными играми не знакомых, узнать о играх получше?

Good old Talisman..

a board game, which could go on over days and in my childhood rarely found a real winner, ´cause we mostly killed each other, before anyone could reach the crown over and over again ;)

So you need some time and patience if you wanted to play a session and this is in some ways is also true for the pc game.
For once the game is still under constand improvement/development, as new characters and add-ons are released on a steady base, so the devs are also constantly working on bugs as well as gameplay improvements.

The conversion from boardgame to pc is actually quite good and at the current state (including the Reaper, Frostmarch, Dungeon expansions) there is enough diversity to do several games, without always having the same characters/events.

While especially with the AI, there are still quite a few bugs (no wonder, due to the wide possibility of actions one can take) it is working well enough, as is the multiplayer part which offers quite some possibilities, which rules the host will allow (and hopefully will soon get a save game function, as these games can have quite some duration, just like the board game).
The graphics are well done, the sound is ok.

So in the end i´m looking forward to the things still to come and enjoy the one or other session of Talisman (but would strongly suggest to wait on a sale for the Season pass, which brings some much needed variety).

The short and sweet: If you like Talisman, you'll very likely enjoy the Digital Edition.

This game is exceptional when it comes to reviews - it's not actually a video game as such, but a digitalized board game. So, you'll find that the majority of negative reviews are from people who don't like Talisman. Well duh. That's not to say all negative reviews are irrellevant. You just can't trust the meta score for a title like this and people playing a game they already know they'll hate makes for some pretty biased reviews. The Steam ratings and reviews are generally more reasonable, though you do still see this happening.

So, are you new to Talisman? New to board games in general? No problem, simple way to see if you might enjoy it. Youtube. Go watch gameplay of the actual board game and/or the digital version. If you find yourself wanting to take one of the seats and play - then this game is for you. If it looks boring and you lose interest fast (as many people do with board games) then look elsewhere. Lastly, I'm sure there are outliers. People who like the board game but hate the digital version. But, again - that should become obvious to you as you watch it played.

I think Nomad has done an excellent job translating the game. And as someone who has moved half-way across the world from their board game friends, it's a great way to keep in touch and get my fix. Happy gaming!

I've been playing Talisman since the original came out in the early 1980's. While my preference - out of comfortable familiarity - is the original, the modern streamlined version is just as good and certainly removes the hours of rules conflicts that inevitably arise.

The computer version does this one better by enforcing a standardized ruleset, making games last (usually) less than an hour and a half. The computer's turns can be sped up, too, improving game speed even more.

Purists will enjoy the classic rules while people who find the basic rules too hard can improve their characters through progressive upgrades. Numerous achievements also offer arbitrary if fun goals along the way.

Faithful recreation of the 4th Edition Talisman board game, and great fun to boot. Recent improvements to the online multiplayer code have made for much smoother gaming against human opponents, and many more expansions have been announced which will keep this game fresh for years to come.

Huge variety of characters and strategies are key to this random-fest, where you can play nice or be a real backstabbing SOB when encountering fellow adventurers, this game is simply great fun!

I love this game. Always have done since I was little and had to build the board as a jigsaw. The only problem with it was getting enough people together with enough free time to play.

Now it's on PC I don't have to worry about that.

To buy or not to buy. If you have ever played Talisman the board game before you already know the answer. However if you havn't and you like fairly long games that have a progressive character turn base style, then you will like this game. I have played the board game for going on 20 years now and have all the boards and expansions from the version 2 line and love them. Many a roleplayer has played this game and in my opinion is one of the best and detailed board games out there.

The Digital Edition of the classic Talisman board game does manage to recreate the experience pretty well, but bugs, glitches, crashes, network instability, and lack of content reflect poorly on the whole.

What does work? The graphics are decent, without being stellar. They get the art style across but the colors aren't vivid and lively as they are with the physical game. The game mechanics are solid, and there are many house rules to adapt Talisman to your preferences. Expansions are available, including one expansion board. Playing with friends online is so much more fun... but...

What doesn't work? Bugs that break the rules. Glitches that can lock up the game or force things that shouldn't happen. Poorly programmed AI that doesn't play the game well and sometimes is oblivious to things like their alignment changing (ie. now neutral characters still trying to do evil things). The spell system is very clunky and mistakes mean you don't get to use your spells or the game uses it incorrectly and you can't cancel. Multiplayer crashes a lot - when you can get back into the game, it inevitably locks up for everyone involved and you have to start over. While extra content is there, it is slow to be released and is mostly of the nickel and dime variety. Without at least one major expansion, the content in the base game will get stale quickly. Introducing major DLC also means introducing new bugs and glitches to your game.

Bottom line is this... For a discounted price, it's a nice bit of nostalgia for people who already know and play Talisman. I can't recommend multiplayer at this point, which is a huge disappointment. If you're new to the game, watch some Lets Play videos of the real thing instead... and if you're still keen on Talisman, give this a shot but know about the shortcomings beforehand.
For the average off the street gamer, I can't give this a reliable thumbs up until all the glitches, bugs, and network issues are fixed.

It's like the original game but with nice animations and beautiful new artworks.

Cheaper and easier to play with friends or even random people.

One of the best boardgame-to-PC adaptations I've seen in years! I would happily recommend this to anyone, regardless of whether one was a fan of the original tabletop Talisman.

Talisman: Digital Edition has HUGE replay value, owing to the random nature and variety of card draws, and the large assortment of character classes available. Each class allows (and often requires) you to approach the game in a different way. You can also customize various game rules before starting up a new game, which adds to the variety and replayability.

The DLC is also strongly recommended. Each expansion adds a massive number of new enemies, events, items, classes, and additional rules. The DLC in this game is very definitely worth every penny!

First off I hate Games Workshop and their unscrupulous buisness practices over the past few years. However not knowing they aquired Talisman IP when I purchased it, I do not regret that purchase. They know how to make excellent functioning video games. Dawn of war was great, blood bowl as well, and now Talisman. A faithful conversion from Board game to Video Game, its better in many ways to the board game in that turns fly by without needing to restack the deck you all knocked over or losing cards to the floor. It streamlines everything that needed streamlining and was faithful to everything needing to be faithful. They did good.

This game isnt bad for a little casual game. Though I heavily recommend playing it with friends otherwise it could be boring with just AI. But dont get me wrong! It can still be fun alone, but more fun with friends.

I like the network ability to play with friends, however you can also do local multiplayer which is nice (Same computer). My favorite is how nicely this works on my Windows 8.1 tablet. Works flawlessly with touch controls (I think the game was designed with touch in mind it works that well).

If you're not a fan of what basically is a turn-based fantasy boardgame / cardgame, this game isnt for you. If you like that stuff, I recommend checking this out.

If you enjoy the boardgame this will appeal to you, but:

I can not recommend to buy it.

At the moment (Oct. 2014):
- Gamebreaking bugs (Targeting of spells, followers who refuse to use their skill correctly, game Mechanics/activated abilities repeating endlessly instead of working only one time)
- AI slow to move
- UI that hinders more than it is helping
- online quits destabilize the game

If they fix this, it might become close to the real boardgame.
But so far the developers seem more interested in producing DLC even while the main game is riddled with bugs.
Read a little in the bugforum!
Might give you a broader view of the game.

Don't buy this game until the developers fix the netcode. If you have even a slightly shaky connection, it will screw up your multiplayer game for hours on end.
