Talisman takes players on a journey through magical lands, as they endeavor to reclaim the Crown of Command. Each turn will see a hero advancing, battling, gaining knowledge and power necessary to defeat the guardians lurking between the Portal of Power and the Valley of Fire. The game is designed for two to six players and is playable in one to two hours. The game includes a revised rulebook, a six-fold game board, 14 character sheets with matching plastic character figures, more than 160 Cards, six, six-sided dice, more than 190 tokens, and 30 gold coins. Rick Nauertz, Sales Associate for Fantasy Flight Games, told TDmonthly, "For those unfamiliar with this classic world of fantasy adventures, Talisman is a game like no other — indeed, it is no ordinary game at all, but a fantastic quest in a world of magic and monsters."
