3. Talisman: The Horus Heresy

Talisman: The Horus Heresy Trailer

Number 3 on our list is Talisman: The Horus Heresy because of its simplicity and addictiveness. Set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe and based on the original Talisman rules, this game will have players taking control of either a traitor or loyalist, and exploring the vast galaxy while engaging in battles against the enemy. Fans of Warhammer 40,000 will be thrilled to play as some of the familiar characters from the franchise while newcomers to the franchise won’t be as familiar.

To most people, this just looks like Math Blasters.

With up to 4 players per game, the goal is to either end of the Emperor’s reign, or keep it alive and well. As players move around the digital board, they will land on enemy or ally spots. On ally spots, players will have different options about what to do next while landing on an enemy spot will likely result in a battle or death. A permanent bonus can be gained by encountering and reuniting with your faction’s cards in an enemy battle.

While Talisman: The Horus Heresy is fun to play, it’s also a bit random, so don’t be too startled if you can taste the victory, but still end up defeated.
