Pegasus Spiele Declares Showtime For Talisman + Win The Game!

54 Comments

We got to stop off with the folks from Pegasus Spiele and talk about what they have planned. As well as a great game called Showtime we also have a new version of Talisman called Legendary Tales to look out for which looks like it is going to be great for younger gamers, and the young at heart.

Win A Copy Of Talisman Legendary Tales

As a big lover of Talisman it’s great to see this game getting some more love and expanding to include different mechanics whilst still feeling true to the original spirit of the game.

Its a Toad!. You used to be turned into one on certain squares.

Kröte means toad, right Mr. battlehawk. There is even another word for toad in German, which is Unke (mind nouns are spelt with capital letters in German (the first letter only, whoops).

Talisman was the first real board game I fell in love with when I was a kid. This sounds like something I could play with my son when he gets a bit older. And like others said, you get turned into a toad.

Who’s this Games Workshop he was talking about?

?

As battlehawk said above, it’s a toad he’s thinking of.

Talisman Legendary Adventures looks interesting, far more visually appealing than the LotR Talisman game GW are bringing out. New edition of regular Talisman sounds nice as does a Talisman RPG.

That was a fun Interview. Just noticed that Pegasus are the publisher / distributer of so many great games in my collection: Smash Up, Azul, Memoarrr!, Kingdomino, Werwölfe, Onitama, Zombie Dice,
as well as some games on my future shopping list: Talisman, Detective and Spirit Island.

Something else I have noticed: many of the German versions they publish are much better value than the original English versions. For example, each Smash Up expansion in German costs only €9,95 instead of US$24.99.

And, as you said yourself Ryan at the end of the video: Kröte = toad

Ah yes, the great equalizer for the overloaded adventurer; being turned into a Toad. Drop all belongings and followers and move one square per turn.

And iirc it lasted three turns so you couldn’t pick your gear and followers up again straight away afterwards.

Talisman is always one of those “how have i not played it yet” classic games so it would be good to give it a go
