  Ultimately, it’s an extremely well-made conversion of a beloved board game to a system that’s pretty much perfect for it. The only real caveats are the excess of DLC and – let’s face it – the fairly unbalanced gameplay of the original Talisman. It’s a wonderful version of a game we love, but if you demand an absolutely level playing field in your entertainment, you may want to knock a point or two off this score.

  At $30, the game is definitely pricey, and though the multiple expansions helps compensate for that, the only people I can really see utilizing them are those who are already fans of the board game to begin with. If you fit into that category or are simply looking for a fun, no-frills digital board game experience, Talisman is one of the better options out there.

  Talisman Digital Edition is a fun, if random experience. While player choice is part of the game, nearly everything comes down to the roll of the die. The game can overstay its welcome, although there are built in “house rule” options that let players tweak it to suit their preferred play style. Talisman is a great “beer and pretzels” style game that is best played with friends where the conversations had during play are as important, if not more important, than the game itself.

  One improvement I would love to see to this app is the ability to ban certain heroes and give a random choice of 2-4 heroes for each player to choose from. It would be another step to controlling the randomness that, in general, this game excels at. If you haven't picked this game up, and you can stomach some bad dice results, it's time you rolled into this one full speed.

  Still, at seven bucks Talisman is probably worth picking up, even if only to decide if one feels like dropping around sixty for the full version. And hey, with the right group of friends even flawed classics are still fun to play once in a while.

  If you’re looking for a way to play Talisman online with random opponents, then this app will surely disappoint you. However, if you’re looking for an excellent single-player version of Talisman to pass the time with, then this app will mostly satisfy you. And if you are looking for a way to play the game in-person with friends with all the streamlining and automation that a digital version provides, then smash the buy button right now.
