There are so few really good games, which most anyone can play. I’ve sorta latched onto Talisman and it is my intention to do all I can to keep the game alive. Just because the publishers have decided to take it off the open market, doesn’t mean there aren’t people still playing it. Quite the contrary seems true. Granted, it is not played as often as it once was, but it is played none-the-less.

If you are new to it or just a fan looking for a game to play I recommend eBay.  At any given time there are several sets for sale… but be prepared to pay a lot for them! The prices are dropping, however, now that Great Britain is on ebay.

I freely give anything and everything you find here (especially my advice, just ask) to the general public. Do what you will with additional cards. Try them all and throw out the ones you don’t like, keep the ones you do. Hey, no sense in having something you don’t want, right?

Click here to find a complete set of Rules for Talisman, 2nd ed. You will find both the original rules, unedited and an Edited Edition which includes eratta & all my card sets and how to incorporate them in the game. This document makes things easier to navigate and I’ve expanded on some of the concepts, as well.

I notify everyone on my email distribution list whenever there are any changes to this site. Especially added expansions.  I never sell anyone's email address. I hate Spam, too. If you'd like to be notified when I make any changes or add stuff, send me an email and I'll add your name & address to my list.

Please check my Page of Links and give them a look, too. Naturally, everyone has their own idea of how to play and, boy, will you find more Characters, Adventure Cards and Spells.
