    Finally played a board game I like:). Actually got the physical game from a storage auction two years ago, but just played today lol. The digital edition is 90% off on Steam is what brought it to my attention. Has anybody else played it or at least heard of it?

    Save 90% on Talisman: Digital Edition on Steam

    Talisman is a great game. Every couple of years I play it with my friends. One of the guys got an expansion and I always use the Space Marine lol.
    Glad you enjoyed it

    It's a really neat game. Get about five or so people together. Games last several hours.

    Ogreman you ever get to play it again? I love how the games last for hours.

    Got the digital version in the Humble Card Bundle. Wasn't super crazy about it at first other than the game itself is really well designed but after playing a bit suddenly it was over 2 hours later and I wasn't sure what just happened lol. It's fantastic, like it a lot.

    Lost another couple hours to it today lol. Not sure how it'll hold up long term as the board itself doesn't change (although the random factor on each title does help) but right now it's a great time sink. Love the Ninja character. Might even start looking at the add-ons, not sure yet though.

    I've never played the board game itself but I'd assume it's exactly the same as it plays like a board game. It's based on the 4th edition.

    Ok Aaddron. The board game is great. I play it about once a year with my friends. Game lasts a few hours. In the end you get to backstab your buddies lol

    lol, I was considering picking it up but it's just too pricey imo. If I pick up any of them I might do Relic since it's a similar system which I like and it doesn't have a digital edition. Plus Space Marines!

    Still havent played the physical version. It seems like the digital version is easier to play:).
