Talisman is a great boardgame, but its single-player version is just a snoozefest. There's no challenge, no progression, no nothing—just a bunch of trivial tasks that are almost impossible to fail without competing players or at least AIs. So you just... roll the dice as many times as you need to land on the rigth square. Hooray, gaming! The execution is also medicore, with long unskippable animations, menu options...

"Prologue" is a misnomer. This game is no more than a glorified tutorial for the main game, and isn't even worth the price they set during the Steam Sale. Just get the main game - it's not particularly hard to learn, and is a far more complete and worthwhile experience, even if you don't get any of the DLC.

Difference Between Talisman Digital Edition & Talisman Prologue Talisman Digital Edition is the multiplayer form of the game, so you can play with other players or against the AI. Talisman Prologue is completely a solo single player experience, so you will strictly play against the Adventure Cards. Nomad Games does take it a step further than that, and they have quests designed per character on the main menu. ...

Talisman is an old board game which translates fairly well to the computer. This game was faithfully translated into the computer as Talisman: Digital Edition. Talisman Prologue is a single player version of that game. It is essentially a demo where you can attempt to complete various quests with different characters. If you are looking for a true Talisman experience, you should get Digital Edition instead.

Although, I bought two versions of Talisman (Prologue and Digital Edition), I started with this. Yes, I got a good experience, playing and learning different characters, their advantages. This helps me to know the game, its rules. But after some games, this solo adventure starts to bother me. Quests quite frankly aren't interesting. Often you need to get to some place or monster, and you roll dice one by one until...

Pros: Quicker game play than the full Digital Edition Useful for learning the rules and character nuances in Talisman: Digital Edition Cons: Can't save the game. They definitely need to fix this. (Seriously, Nomad, what are you thinking here?) Game play can get extremely redundant with only one character on the board. Verdict: Worth buying when it goes on sale, if: * You already know you really want it * The...

So, I got this game for free through Humble Bundle... In a way, it's bizarre that this... thing, actually has a price, as it's effectively a demo for the full game. If you can't be arsed to make your way through the whole of this review, all you need to know is, this is a great way to make you realise how this game could be fun with friends, but not on your own, and not as it is. Being older than I appear, and...

Definitely a 'Prologue' (introduction) to the Talisman Digital Edition. Consider this to be a tutorial to the extreme, enough to be able to sell it seperately. I consider it more of an occasional distraction, probably not one of those games that you feel like playing for hours on end...but one of those that you 'pull off of the shelf' here and there. After playing Talisman Digital Edition, I will say that I did...

For what it is, it's a nice tutorial on how to play the game with the basic non-DLC characters and understanding basic game mechanics in a story-like adventure mode. You can also try to get a three-star (talisman) rating for each chapter of each character story arc by trying to finish it with the smallest number of turns possible. It will get boring fast and in my opinion, this should have been integrated within...

First let me say i wasnt aware of talisman till a few days ago and i have to be completely honest. This is a must buy. im loving ever minute, and yes i too read all the mixed reviews and in part i agree. but heres my way to decide if talismans for you. 1. buy the multi player version first (at writing this review it was on sale £1.67).full price around £5. 2. ( watch a few youtube vids on the game, & get a feel...
