Thought I'd give you guys a heads-up in saying this game is pretty cool.
I had bought Relic the boardgame and learned that it is based off Talisman, a medieval-fantasy style board game made by GW some 20 years ago.
Well during the steam sale I bought it and have to say I kinda like it.
Sure there is a rock-paper-scissors mechanic especially on 1vs1 so its best to play against random opponent instead of trying to beat the same guy, plus dice rolling and card drawing make this game but strategy plays a role as well.
Overall I have to say for a board game brought to the PC (like GW's Space Hulk) these things are more fun solo than you might think.

Talisman is still my go-to "I'm bored but don't know what to play" choice.

It's not bad! Actually prompted me to go out and get the latest version of the board game, this video game is an exact replica of the 4th edition of the game (right down to the tile and character art)

It's a clunky game in my opinion, but certainly entertaining.

The entire season pass is on sale at greenmangaming.com for €11; I believe you can also get a 20%-25% off coupon code on top of that if you browse the website or type greenmangaming coupon code in google.
That way I got the season pass for €9, base game during its 90% off sale on steam couple days ago for €1.60something and now have plenty of content.

Watched a youtube video of a guy playing it as a 4 player game with some of his friends. Looked really interesting, and I would buy it if I knew anybody else to play online with. Does not seem solid enough for me to buy it for just single player vs AI though (same problem I have with Payday 2 actually).
Anybody else notice all the old GW stuff that has been made into computer games over the last year or so? I own Chainsaw Warrior, there's Talisman, a couple different Space Hulk versions, Blood bowl, Mordheim just came out somewhat recently...What's next? Think we could ever get a Battlefleet Gothic game?

Like watching other people play video games (badly) while blathering about nothing in particular? Check out my Youtube channel: joemamaUSA!
