Is there one? I'm not expecting Mansions of Madness or even Descent level of flavor and story, but is there something that resembles a progressive storyline? I haven't gotten a good look at the End Game cards (lack of a better term), but I do see the adversary cards some have a little flavor on them. Just curious. I used to own Talisman, so I know it well
Narrative?
You get out as much as you're willing to put in:
