Fantastic to see some new images of the box and components for Talisman: Star Wars Edition that is coming from The Op (USAopoly) this Autumn!
They’ve posted the new images on the store page for the game, and it looks like I’ll have to rethink my proxy homebrew figures as they are using busts for the characters, just like in Relic!
Take a look at the store page linked below, and hopefully we’ll be able to see some more of the game soon!
May the Fourth be with you!
Well, the rumour mill has been turning in the last few weeks with people wondering what would be next for licensed Talisman games from The Op, and of course today was the ideal time for them to announce Talisman: Star Wars Edition!!!
Information is a little sparse at the moment obviously, but from their website, it seems to be a race between Jedi and Sith characters to reach The Emperor at the centre of the board. It looks like there is a similarity between this and the digital-only Talisman: The Horus Heresy Edition from Nomad Games as we have Jedi and Sith Holocrons, which appear to be the game’s equivalent of a Talisman.
The blurb mentions twelve playable characters, including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Rey, Kylo Ren, Count Dooku, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, plus on the box cover also shows Mace Windu, Ahsoka Tano and some other Sith-type with a pointy hood who I’m not familiar with! (If anyone can help, please let me know!)
Update! It’s the Seventh Sister! Thanks Sarah (heyjedikitty)!!
More news as it happens, but in the mean time you can check out the pages on The Op’s website.
USAopoly (The OP) have just announced that Talisman: Kingdom Hearts Edition will be officially releasing in September this year!
Not only that, but lucky attendees of Gen Con will be able to try out a fully playable version of the game this week at USAopoly’s stand (#137) AND pick up the newly released Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition too!
I’m hoping that these will get to distributors here in the UK in time for release as I have my preorder in with Zatu Games (as well as for both versions of Wizkids‘ reissue of Relic!)
Great news for fans of Talisman AND of the Batman Universe as Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition from USAopoly (The OP) is now available to purchase!
I don’t have my copy as yet, but can’t wait to get hold of it and have the fantastic miniatures painted up and play through the corridors of Arkham Asylum!
Although I don’t have much news to tell about the game as yet, you can check out the game entry on BoardGameGeek where Papa_Tom has uploaded a host of images for you to see.
Another piece of news is that USAopoly will have the game for sale early next month at Gen Con, so lucky visitors will be able to score a copy there!
It seems like someone might be jumping the gun again, but thanks to Matthew for pointing me at an online auction where the seller has listed a preorder for Talisman: Kingdom Hearts Edition from The OP (USAopoly)!
It mentions that the game is due late September, but I’m not sure how accurate that is, but what’s more interesting is that there are images of the miniatures, board art and card examples!
Buyer beware though, as Zatu Games also has a preorder on their site for less than half of the price listed on eBay, so shop around!
The game components looks really bright and colourful, and are totally in keeping with the subject matter, as opposed to the dark, gritty nature of the Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition.
…and those miniature sculpts are awesome too and I can’t wait to get my sticky mitts on them!
A news post this afternoon confirmed that, as part of their celebrations for International Tabletop Day 2019, those fun-loving people at Geek & Sundry will be streaming a game of Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition from USAopoly (The OP) via their Twitch stream!
They have a full day of gaming going on, but if you tune in at 12pm PDT (8pm BST) on the 1st of June you can get a sneak peek at the game two weeks before it gets an official release at Origins Game Fair.
It’ll be great to see what changes have been made to the game, and those miniatures are spectacular! I can’t wait to get hold of the game and give it an outing!
Well, it seems that someone has either jumped the gun, or USAopoly has decided not to continue with the spoiling of character minis for Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition, because an image of the rear of the box featuring the whole gang has now been put online!
A preorder page turned up on the BigBadToyStore site, with images of the box front and rear, the board, a player set up and a broad overview of the contents including a look at some of the cardbacks we will be seeing when the game is released… and it all looks great!
So we can look forward to The Riddler, The Joker, Poison Ivy, Bane, Mr. Freeze, The Penguin, R’as al Ghul, Two-Face, Clayface, Scarecrow, Harley Quinn and The Joker’s Daughter as playable characters, and of course Batman as the Reaper-esque NPC!
It seems that my hunch about the Villains Month comic covers was about right, except I had no real clue about who of the group would be included, apart from those already gleaned from the little slip on BoardGameGeek‘s coverage from the GAMA Trade Show! You can check out the “Searching…” article through the link below.

USAopoly AKA The OP have revealed yet another character sculpt from the upcoming Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition over on their Facebook page!
This time it’s the former District Attorney of Gotham City, Harvey Dent AKA Two-Face, who will be trying his hardest to become the king of Arkham Asylum.
They’ve also added a really cool touch to the game by making the fate tokens into Two Face’s famous coin!
We’ll see more of these great sculpts soon!
The OP (or USAopoly) has started to show off the character sculpts for Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition that will be fighting to defeat Batman and take over Arkham Asylum on their Facebook page tonight.
Of course, the first one is no real surprise as we’ve known about Harley Quinn being included since they showed off some components for the game back in March! A couple more have also been spotted in the wild, but if you haven’t seen them you may not want to have them spoiled just yet, so I’ll leave that to the guys from The OP…
What really strikes me about the image shown off today is that the sculpt is completely awesome! I can totally see people buying the game just to get the sculpts looking at this one and the Batman NPC figure that was shown off previously in some of the promotional shots.
I wonder who will be next up to be revealed?
Rather than just post about it here, I figured I’d write up a little article with some thoughts about who we might be seeing in the new Talisman: Batman – Super-Villains Edition from USAopoly.
Thanks to the recent livestream by BoardGameGeek from the GAMA Trade Show, a quest presented itself and an interesting theory, though it may of course be total nonsense!
So follow the link below to see how we know that Poison Ivy and Joker will be joining Harley Quinn in the game, and ponder who else might be joining her… or you can use the link in the Features menu above.
