The mini you showed after the crystal ball is actually a GW Chaos Sorcerer I think his name was Baal the Faceless something like that. The four armed Minotaur looking mini is The Greater Demon of Slaanesh - 80s version and still my fav.

I'm the same. Had the opportunity to jump into this from the beginning. I held off due to lack of solo mode and then was glad I avoided it due to the deck-constuction. I just knew I didn't have the time for that so would never fare well in a tournament. Glad you're enjoying it, though.
@David.Lee785 күн бұрын
Deck construction isn't really a thing anymore due to the Rivals format. The most popular construction format now is Nemesis which is just picking the cards you want from two, and only two, Rivals decks.

The second edition of Talisman, in the English version, looks terrible. An atmospheric cover, but only one. The graphics, with exceptions, are incredibly ugly. Most collectors consider the Polish version of Talisman, i.e. Magic and Sword, to be the nicest version. The Polish publisher used a certain technique - the adventure, spell and item cards were in black and white. We also hired a very good artist who, through his drawings on the adventure cards, spells, etc., as well as on the character cards, created an amazing dark fantasy atmosphere.

Bit late to the party, but you actually made that fight against the rats slightly harder on yourself than it needed to be. As per the rule book, if you succeed on a hit and the enemy succeeds on their dodge, they still take half damage rounded up.

Thanks for presenting this, i couldnt find anyone showing the new edition play, as i was trying to decide if i was going to get in on preordering for the next edition printing. Which i think with the new expansions the makers are talking about, some new scenarios, that i will probably decide to go ahead and invest in it. It looks like something that i would actually have time and space to play. Lol As i just dont have enough free space right now to set up big games and i dont have enough spare time to do a lot of complicated games presently. I keep getting nostalgia from this as it reminds me of when i used to play Deathtrap Dungeon CYOA book over and over as a teenager. Lol Its like a more complex form of that but has a lot more depth and interesting stuff going on to fill it out to make it feel much more intriguing and unique every time , and not just the same limited choices and same scenes again again. But it has the same spirit of the adventuring fantasy stuff

Nice video! A few corrections: When you increase vitality, you increase health by the same amount. It looks like you spent all 3 XP leveling strength from 2 to 3 when that only costs 2 XP. When you charm a monster, you actually also get the XP and loot for defeating it. That figure is actually supposed to be the male ranger, but the ranger happens to look more similar than the male/female versions of other heroes. The version of each hero printed on their figure is the same as the one depicted on the top of their starting cards, which happens to be the version that was drawn first, I think.

Nice, i couldn't find anyone showing the new edition play yet. I am still dithering on buying it when the next edition comes out as the makers say they already have a lot of people that missed out and say they want to get it, so they are already preparing for another edition, but they are going to do new area exploring expansions and other additions to it. I dont keep up on kickstarters and inde games much as im too busy with work, so i wish i had known about this 2nd ed. before it came out. It seemed more interesting than the 1st ed.with the bigger dungeons. Getting the next one would depend on whether or not i find something better i want more as i dont have the money to get everything.

They're all good, although i sold ashardalon + ravenloft when i got massive darkness and ive never played gloomhaven because i just can't be arsed to set it all up. and thats the thing i love about this game; it gets to the table. It doesn't overstay it's welcome, looks and plays great, tonnes of variety and a very good challenge.

A great game ecosystem, that never got enough attention. A publisher in France also made a variant based on the crusades that came with a comprehensive campaign mode.

@AlbertDanysh is who you'd be talking to at Cerberus Gate Games anyway. ;-) My copy doesn't have a card -- blank or otherwise -- between Mummy Crypt and Mystical Portal, and I have all 30 yellow-gem cards. My guess is the blank is just an extra card from the leftover part of a sheet that should have been removed. It is worrisome though that there could be other manufacturing errors that are not as harmless. Be sure you have 30 unique yellow-gem cards.
