Quite simply, this is the board game I've been looking for my entire life. It has an amazing fantasy setting, beautiful art, complex and fun mechanics, replayability, and expansive capabilities. You can even play it with as few as 2 players, which seems to be a rarity among fun strategy board games. Some complain about the random movement factor, but I think fun is where just the right amount of strategy and chance meet, and Talisman does it really well. It's just an amazing fantasy adventure in board game form. I can't recommend it enough.
