Talisman

The game board represents a fantasy land. Players chose a character from a list of semi-standard fantasy types: Barbarian, Wizard, Monk, etc. The objective of the game is to travel through the land encountering event cards and gathering strength along the way. Hopefully players will eventually become powerful enough to travel to the center of the board, endure the trials there and take the Crown of Command for the victory. There were also several expansions released for this game, which add new character choices and new places to travel.

Después de mil años he rescatado el juego para jugar con mi hijo, y obviamente se lo ha pasado de muerte, al final, es la función de un juego: divertir. Obviamente mecánicamente esto hace agua por todos lados, encima es la segunda edición, asi que es todavía más simplona que la cuarta. Pero a los peques les gusta, esa incertidumbre con esos efectos tan extremos de o todo o nada por la tirada de un dado.
