No. Talisman doesn't really suit asynchronous play due to players having to react to spell casting.

Ratings and reviews

I went through the tutorial twice and still dont't know what to do. It could benefit from a scripted game where everything is prederermined and explained. The AI players ganged up on me one after the other, and I lost every single battle with a player or a monster. Seriously didn't win a single one. I don't like games where I have to repeatedly bang my head on a wall and push through incredible frustration just to make any headway. This might be the game for someone, but not me.

This game has me hooked! One of the best games I've ever played. A very straight to the point RPG board game. Bought the game and expansion on Nen. Switch. Bought the mobile version and all my content was on my device, just create profile.I want to rate it 5 stars so bad, but when I found out you can't save your online game that bummed the $h!+ out of me. Should be, where the host keeps the saved game and can switch from saving and ending the game, back to hosting and reconnecting live somehow.

I've never played the board game so I went in blind, and this was funner than I expected. On default rules the game takes forever, but this can be sped up with optional house rules, skipping animation on AI turns, and alternative win conditions (only two conditions come with the base game). EDIT: lowered from five to three. the games dice reroll system is clearly broken and not random.
