Talisman is a fantasy board game produced by Games Workshop for at least two players. The 2nd edition, (nearly identical to the 1st) produced in 1983 was the most popular version to date. Several supplementary expansions added new cards, characters, and board pieces for the original Talisman game. However, in 1993 Games Workshop produced a 3rd edition with plastic figures and slightly updated rules.
