The problem with Talisman (and this game) for me is the moving mechanics. Die rolls make you go places you don't want to or keep you from going where you want to go.
The thing they changed from Talisman is you can substitute your cards for a die rolls (including your movement). So instead of hoping to move one space your cards are now resources that are invaluable for hitting the correct space when you'd like- which is kinda important, and should be clarified in the review.
last year, in 2013... hm now it''s summer 2019. And boy this game feels aged. I had expected a bit more hobby quests, but apparently nobody could be bothered. Newer version: boardgamegeek.com/boardgameexpansion/172904/relic-halls-terra
Funniest part is when you mention all the good things in the game, it's the exactly same stuff you have in Talisman, wow you have different characters,equipment etc. It's exactly the same in Talisman..
Drive Thru Review Nono, I know you did, but in the "end thoughts" part you mention how you don't really like Talisman and then you go on to mention why you like Relic and it's mostly stuff you already have in Talisman :]
I like your new camera perspective with the games behind.
Took forever but I found the Collector's Edition, unopened on eBay. Stunning and I'm not a big Warhammer Universe fan.
Best version of Talisman. I had players that absolutely hated Talisman but they enjoyed Relic.

Drive Thru Review Anyways, thanks for responding and I really like your reviews
Thank you sir!
Joel, do you still play the game? :)
I do. I've got the expansion. Makes the game better imo.
Like Zelda 2? ;p
