Talisman (Talisman (4th Ed.))

“The Magical Quest Game”

Talisman is an Epic Adventure Game in which characters are traveling the land in search of the fabled Crown of Command, which can either lead to salvation or destruction!

Players choose between several characters, each with unique abilities. A great part of the game is played in mini encounters that slowly increase a players strength and craft and collection of weapons & items. Only when they feel they are strong enough (and with the help of the rare and mystical Talisman) does a player venture further toward the center of the board and the Crown of Command!

This will be an introductory game, but be prepared for a long journey. 4 hours is being set aside with good reason. :)
