The best way to describe it is like a fantasy version of Monopoly. I played on Friday my friend got turned into a frog, haunted by a poltergeist, beat up in a pub by a farmer and then got blind drunk in the pub. It's very luck based but just hilarious. Oh and the artwork is to die for.

I also picked up Dungeonquest (1985) but I haven't played it yet. I'll let you know my thoughts on it. I've heard it's an absolute killer where you can just die in the 1st couple of turns.

They're both really early Games Workshop games. I managed to snag them both in a bundle for £25 ($27.66).

Wow, I really want to try Talisman but haven't seen a copy in years. It was really popular back when I was first getting into LNoE and aToE and I'm pretty sure my neighbors had a copy, but they owned like 150 games at the time so I got to try maybe a third of them. It didn't stand out to me at the time, and I only developed an interest in more recent years when I started hearing all this love for the game from people who'd played it back in the day.
