Talisman is my favorite board game! I own all the expansions for the most recent printing.
If anyone wants to try it, just remember its an older game that isn't meant to be balanced. The feel is more like a fantasy quest with highly random elements, or a party game where fortunes can reverse quickly. There are strategies you can use to win consistently, but the game is more enjoyable if you take it as a story rather than something to be optimized.
(And if that isn't your thing, that's ok)
... that second comic is me though
