4.0 out of 5 stars More than just the reaper, January 21, 2009

By	M. Davignon (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As players of the Talisman game already know, it's all too easy in the game already to be killed quickly by a few bad card draws and die rolls. For that reason, the idea of an expansion pack that adds another random "grim reaper" element was not appealing to me.

Fortunately, it's not necessary to actually use the reaper in the game, and the new adventure cards and spell cards make it worth the investment. The adventure cards include a much larger variety of enemies, followers, wepans and events than the original deck. The expansion doubles the amount of spell cards, and most of the spells seem to be more useful than those in the original spell deck.

There are 4 new characters, but most are underwhelming compared to those in the original game. They are:
-Sage - a spellcaster who can preview the adventure deck and re-roll his movement dice
-Knight - a warrior who starts with sword/armor, and has a praying bonus
-Merchant - who has bonuses involving gold and shops
-Dark Cultist - who can perform psychic combat, and gains bonuses from killing eneies & characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to the latest version of Talisman, April 15, 2009

All of the new cards make an already great game that much better. Glad I purchased the Reaper expansion.
