I freely admit that I'm a "board game geek." I love unconventional, complicated games with boards the size of the table and hundreds of tokens and cards spread about. Most of my friends, however, are not. Talisman has proven to be fun for everyone and satisfyingly complex enough for the more serious boardgamers. It is very easy to play despite having so many choices and twists. As a Fantasy Flight Game, this version is up to the standards I have come to expect from the company- heavy cardstock, sturdy boxes, great artwork, and tons of tokens and other accessories. When you add in a few of the expansions you have enough material to never have the game play out the same way twice. This is a must-have if you're looking to broaden your boardgame horizons beyond Monopoly and Clue.
