So I picked up my brand spanking new copy of this over the weekend, and spent a bit of time yesterday going over the board, punching out all the die cut player pieces, and reading the cards and instructions.
My memories of this game are a bit vague (Its been a long time since I played it regularly in the university gaming club, that would have been.... Second edition and about 1995) Overall, this looks like they've done a fantasic job of recapturing the feel of the game.
For those of you who don't know Talisman... its a fantasy based epic adventure board game. The board has three sections which you adventure through, gaining strength and craft points, collecting followers, treasure and gear in the hopes you survive to reach the Centre of the board and win the Crown of Command, becoming the new King (or Queen) of the realm.
If you get the chance, I highly recommend giving this game a shot.

If my memory serves me correctly, that was once a Games Workshop product. Is GW still making it?

If you go far enough up the chain I think its Games Workshop. The publisher on the box is Black Industries.
