Ask: Solo game, objectives and rules

By KorraDH, in Talisman

Hello everyone,
did you happen to play a solo-game to Talisman ?
If yey you indicate to me that rules and objectives you are given ?

I bring this up beacouse I just discovered Talisman few weeks ago (for now I have "The Higlands" and "The Reaper") and I like it so much but do not always find friends to play with! preocupado.gif

Thanks in advance.

Hi KorraDH,

I have play a solo game today and yesterday.

My goal is to defeat a endboss ( like the Ice Queen) within a hour.

You are only playing with one character that you like.

You must move the reaper or the werewolf always towards your character.

I have won today with my Fortune Knight, and beat the Ice queen . It was so EPIC!

If the time limit has ended, then you are teleported to the Crown of Command.

By the way, I have made a cd with music from Soul Calibur to make the adventure more exciting!

Greetings,

Velhart

Thanks Velhart, tonight I'll try like you said using the "King of Eagles".

Let's see how it goes! cool.gif

Oke cool.

Oh, and another thing.

You don't need a talisman for solo gaming, because it is all about adventure and level up your character fast within the time limit.

You are teleported after a hour ( if you are still alive) to the Crown of Command.

Have fun!

What about spells? Some must be targeted at other players, do you just recycle them ?

Oh yeah, it's amazing!

I chose "The Dwarf" from 3 random characters card. In 45 minutes I defeat easily the "Eagles King" (sorry 4 translation but I have the Italian version).

In my humble opinion it was pretty easy but I would play more times to see how thei end. How characteristics has the "Ice Queen" ?

Tonight I have done that that kind of spell could be discarded (but not immediatly take anoter one).

I am glad you have some fun:)

The Ice Queen is also strength 12/craft 12. same as eagle king. But they have different text if you are defeated.

I have play 2 solo games so far, with 1 character, and i died one time. So it was not so easy:)

But second time, i won with the same character:)

You could make a rule, that spells that target other players may be put on the discard pile, and take another spell card.

You could do the same if you encounter adventure cards that has only a target player effect.

I've never thought of this, but I kind of like it. Do you use the Highlands/Dungeon when you play solo?

I have only use my mainboard at this moment, because i wanted to try the Blood Moon expansion while playing solo.

Tonight I have a session with Troll. I think I was very lucky because after 20 min I already had the "war horse" and "racing horse"; In 31 minutes I came to the "king of eagles" attacking with base 22! cool.gif

I have played with both Higland board & Reapers cards.

This last weekend I played with my 6 year old granddaughter, which

is almost like playing solo ! But actually more fun. She reads a little, so the main titles are possibly readable for her, but we just have fun; she understands the concepts of battling the enemy cards and

we do use the dungeon and highland boards.

Winning is when we encounter each other - land on each other's space, and fight.

You know she always wins!

Just take any spells that can only target other players out of the spell deck.
