Talisman: Revised 4th Edition

Players assume fantasy archetypes and travel from an outer realm through middle and inner realms to claim a powerful artifact. Characters have Life, Strength, and Craft values and unique abilities; equipment, companions, spells, and relics modify those stats and grant new powers. On a turn players roll for movement, choose direction, and resolve the space: draw encounter cards, fight creatures or other players using Strength or Craft, gain items or companions, or suffer penalties. Completing a quest in the middle realm awards a talisman needed to access the inner realm and the Portal of Power. The first player to reach and claim the artifact can cast a decisive Command spell while others race to stop them.
