No. Talisman doesn't really suit asynchronous play due to players having to react to spell casting.

As you can see below I had a problem that the developer was able to fix so now I have my complete game. It’s a shame this huge error ever occurred but I appreciate the developers quick response to it. If your having a problem read the developer responses and follow their steps to fix it. Thank you Asmodee.As everyone else has already said my purchases did Not come through after downloading and updating your game. I have everything for the game and only 4 of my purchases were restored when I hit the button. Fix this and fix it NOW! There was nothing wrong with the old game. If you don’t fix this by the end of this week I’m writing to Games Workshop and ask them to pull your contract because you’re doing a Lousy job.

I am always reluctant to purchase any app with a lot of MBs. But I do have the board games, the design of the game looked accurate, no one will play Talisman with me so I thought I’d take a chance. I was happy with my choice and even bought a few extras like the Grim Reaper expansion. After many plays this does feel much like the board game. I also purchased Origins not really knowing what exactly I’d get but was happy with that as well. I like the many scenarios available, and the extra boards around the corners are really cool, I need to look and see if those exist for the board game as well. My one and only complaint is the placement of the roll die. Perhaps this has been addressed in the last update. Sitting at the top middle of the screen it blocks part of the woods. If one of my move choices is to go the woods with a card on it, I’ll sometimes click it to see the card yet hit the die for a re-roll I didn’t want. It’s nearly impossible not to. So I would please ask the designers to place that die somewhere else where it doesn’t hover over game spots. Or make the top die dead to touch and keep the re-roll on the far right. When I’m down to one fate, as far away from the bottom game board as possible, losing my last fate this way is frustrating. But I am recommending to anyone who is a fan of the board game, you won’t be sorry.

I love the complexity and endless replay-ability of this game. Hope you enjoy too, even when your character is turned into a slimy little toad for three turns! This truly is a unique game. First time players can use the pop-up mini tutorials to learn the rules as they play. Really great way to learn game mechanics. (I purchased Talisman for both my IPhone And IPad.)I just downloaded the new version onto my phone. (Should have done so when it was a free conversion like I did for my IPad, my mistake). After logging into my new account I found all my previously purchased expansions, characters and also the new free Deep Realms expansion !! Looking forward to playing. Thanks to Amodee for continuing with great game content and also for excellent customer service.

The Asmodee help center was wonderful in resolving the issue with my previous game content. Thanks so much!This Digital edition is awesome to have to play solo or with friends. If you never tried Talisman before you are in for a treat. This is a gem of a game. This game has unlimited replayability due to randomness of cards and richness of expansions. One of my favorite aspects of the game is the selection of characters. Picking a character and then developing their story as the game progresses is fun and also a challenge at times, but that is a very good thing. I usually play against two AIs. The artwork is amazing. Zooming in to see the details of the spaces and city shops adds to the characters story development. Background sounds are excellent. Using spells takes a little practice.I have all expansions and the ability to build a game with the expansions and characters adds to the ultimate replayability of this game. The city expansion is a must have if you are just starting out with the game.I have been playing Talisman since the second edition was introduced 30 years ago and this Digital edition is awesome. Can't wait for the Woodlands expansion. Very exciting.
