Talisman: Digital Edition in IOS

The official board game

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

85/100

Talisman: Digital Edition is a faithful and robust translation of the classic 'Magical Quest' board game. For fans of the original, this is a godsend. It automates all the fiddly bits—dice rolls, stat tracking, and card shuffling—leaving you to focus on the strategy and the inevitable 'take that' moments that define the experience.

The AI is competent, but the game truly shines in multiplayer. Whether you're playing locally or online, the tension of racing toward the Crown of Command remains palpable. The visuals are clean and the UI manages to fit a wealth of information onto the screen without feeling cluttered. It's a must-have for tabletop enthusiasts.
