Glad to see another Talisman related video. Me and friends are really getting into the game and I'm looking to get an expansion for one of them as a Christmas present. I have to say I'm always pleased with the simple but very high quality animations for this channel. Keep up the good work.
+Paul Hamilton Thanks Paul for your kind words. Mean a lot and encourages us to keep going! Glad you and your friends are getting into Talisman - we love it!
The Reaper, Frostmarch and Sacred Pool expansion go hand in hand. They all add just a little bit extra to the game that makes it so much better than the sum of it's parts :) The Crown and Sceptre is probably my favourite ending (if I get to the crown of command first!) since it pretty much kills off the other characters immediately. The Warlock is one of my favourite characters in the entire expansions, his spellcasting abilities are awesome!
+MightyWolve Awww, that's very kind of you. Yeah, I think painted figures look so much better than just the plain plastic. I'm not really an expert on painting them but I think I do an okay job. I was thinking of doing a little series on how to paint them, yes. There is a good chance we will do this.
I found a copy a few days ago online and it will be on its way to my address within this week! We are planning to play it with Cataclysm (no other expansion included) 'cause it fits perfectly with the theme. We are playing like some sort of campaign. Our last gaming session (a few months ago) ended with the Judgment day (Harbinger expansion) and so the world has been destroyed. Ever since then we haven't opened it again. Now that I got Cataclysm and soon, the Frostmarch, we will open it up and play Talisman once again!
Awesome reviews on these. I have Dungeon Expansion. I want another big box one. I've seen your reviews, but out of all the big box ones which do you recommend next? I need an expert.
+Johnny Alias Thanks Johnny. I would ask yourself want experience would you like out of your next expansion. If you'd like something similar to The Dungeon then I would go for The Highland. If you'd like things to be slightly more in depth, then I would go for The City or The Woodland. Both The City and The Woodland they add to the basics of an expansion. SO as well as new characters, Adventure, Spell and Alternate Ending cards, both expansions offer extra things to do. The City offers lots of shops and cool stuff to buy like better weapons, armour, magic objects, and even pets. You can also take Bounty cards to get more gold. The Woodland adds a new twist for the Fate tokens where players can now affect other players's die rolls as well as their own. Then of course there is The Dragon Expansion! That adds... dragons! Hope that helps. Let me know what you went for and how you get on.
+The Bottled Imp I think you're onto it with Highland. On your recommendation I have the Reaper and Blood Moon. I just moved so I'm teaching new people. When those two are on I have a lot to keep track of. More space is likely the way to go. I also insist that everybody must speak like Sean Connery in the highland. Thanks again!
Johnny Alias Yeah, The Highland is more of the base game without any further complications to the rules. Sounds just what you're looking for. Let me know how you get on. Lol, I think your Sean Connery rule is in the small print of the rules too! Nice one.
I've been playing this game and all these various expansions for years and recently I have bought the Woodlands. I highly recommend getting it if you liked the dungeon expansion.
+Miguel Sweeting Casado Yes, it'll slowly go out of print now as Fantasy Flight don't have the licence from Games Workshop. I bought my copy when it came out so I was lucky.
The Bottled Imp Yes, because I always look at the characters on the wiki afterwards anyway. It would be cool to have that like in the description. Thanks.
You said the ice queen has the crown and wants to transform the realm into a frozen wasteland it seems like that is canon to the cataclysm because the center region is frozen

+jatkinson85
Agree about those expansions. It's the 'biggie' corner ones that re-shape the game. Not played with those Alternative Endings yet. Nice.
Your miniatures look amazingly painted! Are you going to do any tutorials on that? Because I am really looking into painting my figures aswell!
+MightyWolve
Awww, that's very kind of you. Yeah, I think painted figures look so much better than just the plain plastic. I'm not really an expert on painting them but I think I do an okay job. I was thinking of doing a little series on how to paint them, yes. There is a good chance we will do this.
My fiance going to pain mine ones, little help is always well welcomed

Great job, keep it up
+Mar Zab
Thanks Mar.
How did you get the Frost March? I can't find it anywhere for sale!
+Miguel Sweeting Casado
Yes, it'll slowly go out of print now as Fantasy Flight don't have the licence from Games Workshop. I bought my copy when it came out so I was lucky.
Could you link character cards an alternative endings in the description, so I can look at them quickly after seeing your review, please?
+Kyle Netherwood
Hi Kyle, not sure what you mean. Do you mean link those cards in the description to the video?
The Bottled Imp Yes, because I always look at the characters on the wiki afterwards anyway. It would be cool to have that like in the description. Thanks.
Sorry for being dump here - link the characters and Alternative Ending cards directly to a website, say the official Fantasy Flight website?
The Bottled Imp Yes, that would be so good. I really enjoy your videos.
Ah, I see. Cool. That is a good idea. We shall do that! Thanks, glad you like them. If you have any other ideas, just let us know.
What to do with alter endings that dont have any sign? Ppl have to choice them? Or they fit both hidden and reval ending? Thanks for anwser
+Mar Zab
Yes, those with no sign in the corned can be both hidden or revealed. You just can't mix up the hidden with the revealed together.
You said the ice queen has the crown and wants to transform the realm into a frozen wasteland it seems like that is canon to the cataclysm because the center region is frozen
Also you should review nether realm and deep realms
+Ben Ewing
Yes, fits in nicely!
+Ben Ewing
They are due to be reviewed soon. Watch this space.
If the ending card is face down, how would you know when the game end?
The card gets flipped over when someone reaches the crown of command, or the inner region (I'm not exactly sure which)
a little disappointed there is no figure for the ice queen. Noble Knight Games here I come in search for the Ice Queen. Or Maybe even Hero Forge.
Yes, that's a good point. I think Spare Ooom might do the Ice Queen as they do lots of other Talisman figures.
Where is the snowflake-symbol on the smaller cards belonging to Frostmarch? I can't seem to find them.
Great video but why are you British?
