Is "Talisman" on Amazon the same boardgame they play on "Big Bang Theory"? I've paused the DVD to see the box top on the floor, as they sit around their coffee table and play a boardgame on a couple different episodes, and I believe it says "Talisman". So I looked it up on Amazon (see below) and FRP games and it seems to be the same one. Can anyone confirm? Is it fun? Thank you all.HUGE Big Bang Theory fan by the way!!!

The Amazon Q&A; appear to be wrong then.

It's virtually the same as the Lonpos puzzle. There is a version of Lonpos that's 3d, i.e., you have to build a pyramid . I think it was Mindware that used to sell it. Haven't seen that anywhere else.

Looks like it's Wizards. I have it for pre-order too and I jumped on the Wizards site right away and noticed that it was still saying late November so I began cursing Amazon. When I went to look right now to post the URL as evidence they'd updated it to Feb 15. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/214420000I suppose Amazon's off the hook then.

I found this post at Board Game Geek to be particularly insightful and would probably follow his guide.http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/592228/so-im-considering-getting-into-agot-lcg-your-compr

Greed. Pure and simple. The game is apparently not made anymore and folks are trying to cash in on "rareness" or "collectability". I bought one back in 2000 for 7 dollars at Dollar General at a clearance rack. I have played it every day since for at least a few minutes...better than reading the paper on the throne :) I was looking to find another one in case this one wears out and have seen the most horrible prices for them. Even used ones on Ebay are 30 bucks or more and over 100 for ones in the package. Hasbro needs to re-release it (with new word lists and maybe upgraded a little)

I saw that review too. Sadly, it was probably here on Amazon. The ONE I bout was I think, $6 or something a few months ago? Now it is $12? It really isn't worth $12, but $4 or $6? You betcha. I want another but am not going to buy at this price - it's just not essential. (But is sure is fun!)

Sorry, Christine, but I've only seen this white box. The questions and answers for the black box indicates the black box is the same game but with different cards. You could order both sets and play them together to form one huge game or separately.

I know I am a bit late to the party, but I wanted to let anyone else who is still wanting to get into Dominion that Intrigue is a good way to start. Intrigue includes all necessary components to play Dominion, and the rules included cover all the basics of Dominion as well as new mechanics found in Intrigue. I would personally recommend this over the basic box because playing it will let you know if you like the game as a whole, and then if you are interested in having more sets to play with, the Dominion Big Box set is a great deal (usually about $74 for Dominion, Prosperity, and Alchemy on Amazon as opposed to $85 for each of the included sets on Amazon sold separately or MSRP total of about $120).

Raventhon,The game I have listed looks like the picture you sent. I have another that is "In Transit" to Amazon and that one does not have a cardboard sleeve and there are a few differences on the zippered case. The one you are asking about has a black case with a raised plastic "Scrabble " logo on the front of the case and it has red trim on the case. On the inside they are both exactly the same.BLG Enterprise

I did not realize there are so many variations? The picture I am seeing is the Hasbro game (4 & up) - totaly different shapes than the original game when I was little? You are right...looks like only 9 pieces. I purchased the MB/Milton Bradley (5 & up)...25 pieces & the SAME exact board as the original. This also has a compartment on the back of the game to store all the pieces. HOPE THIS HELPS!!! TAKE CARE! :)

Geri, I have never played the second edition before, so I'm not really able to speak to that, but do want to say that the original is SO MUCH FUN!!! I would email the game company and ask them. Look forward to what you find out...

Yes and no. They are not the same cards at all. The black boxed one is "We Didn't Playtest This: Either". The cards are different, and they can be played together. There is a third as well, called "We didn't Playtest This: Legacies" which is the third in the series, and is my favorite of the series; and is best played with a more consistent group.

Yes I have never played the original game and found it simple enough to understand. This is a stand alone expansion so you can add it to the original or play it alone. Great game and I believe they just came out with a six player board for this as an expansion. Well worth the money. We play it quite frequently.

You use BOTH boards at the same time. The "lab" board is your new way to find cures for the diseases that are trying to destroy the world. Instead of simply discarding five cards of one color, you now have to take several steps in the lab to find the cure. And while that may sound harder, since it's several steps, it's balanced out by the fact that anybody can do any of the steps, so long as they are in a research station.My friends and I always play with the lab now. We find it a lot more thematic and fun and the challenge seems to be about the same.

I am not sure why. I would NOT pay that price for this product. It has a very limited list of phrases/words. It has been frustrating to play it when we have a large group of teens over because very quickly we are repeating words/phrases. If I had it to do over, I would buy the board game.

I think the mat is different in each version of the game. The original game has a cardboard mat that folds up. It is sturdy and nice to play on but, in my expaerience, folding boards fall apart with even moderate use. The board on the deluxe game is a little bit larger than the basic game board, made of vinyl and rolls up to fit back in the box. I believe that the jumbo board is also mafe of vinyl and is much larger. Other reviews that I read mentioned that it would not fit in the box and had to be stored seperately.This is a woderful game to play for as few as two people or in teams. Whenever we have a family gathering eeverbody wants to play. I think the mat is different in each version of the game. The original game has a cardboard mat that folds up.
