It takes a long time to get the strength to survive the challenges (usually need 8 in one if not both stats). The Endgame in Talismen 'requires' finding a Talisman card, then going through 4 difficult dice challenges (1 each turn), then at the crown, using it until all players are permadead hoping another player doesn't reach the crown while you are there (Expansions offer a shortcut if you can overkill a superboss at the bottom of the expanded boards. A player that 'was' doing well and then is toaded or killed is basically hopeless for the rest of the game.ĥ. In Talismen you'll see one person who gets lucky and raises all their stats from 3 to 10, while someone else keeps finding monsters they cant win or unhelpful events and has trouble doing anything. Because of #3, Player's 'chance of victory' in the game stays closer together. In Armello, only quests/special spaces/ or combat has effects, and the variety of the effects (prizes, damage, temporary debuff, rot infection, or death and respawn) is tighter and more predictable.Ĥ. Visiting any one space can get you a permanant stat boost, do nearly nothing, or cause a permanant stat penalty including the nearly player destroying 'Toad' status- with little way to predict what will happen to you in turn. The variety of space outcomes is gigantic in Talisman. Armello uses a dice pool so combat can deal 0-10+ damage to both fighters at once, but victory is less swingy.ģ. Dice combat in Talismen is a single D6 roll added to a stat, exceeding the monster's roll kills the monsters (they only have 1 HP) while not exceeding the monster causes the players to lose 1 hp (they have 3-5 usually). While Armello has 3 NPC monsters and PvP, with approimate 15-20 statpoints, Talismen has dozens of different monsters ranging from difficulty 2 to 12+ and battle based on either physical or magic. You can't control your movement well, in Armello you visit 3 hexes each turn in line, in Talismen you must move what your D6 rolls even if you 'overshoot' your target.Ģ.

Special spaces with a Roll table of postive and negative outcomes like Armello's dungeons.ġ. The Endgame goal is in the center of the board, guarded by dice challenges.Ĥ.
