Talisman: Origins 4+

The regular version of Talisman has this feature, why not in Origins?

I bought a new phone but the screen is smaller, even with 20/20 airline pilot vision I can barely read the cards.

Almost every card game app I’ve played has the double tap zoom in option. I’m completely surprised and disappointed by this. I love the concept of Origins but I think I’ll have to stick with the regular talisman app.

Biggest problem is the algorithm used in dice role prevents player from rolling anything higher than 3 most of the time. We did a testing by several individual players and all 9 had extremely similar results out of 21 roles; player 1 rolled “1” 8x, “2” 5x, “3” 4x, “4” 2x, “5” 1x, “6” 1x; player 2 rolled “1” 6x, “2” 4x, “3” 4x, “4” 4x, “5” 2x, “6” 1x; player 3 rolled “1” 7x, “2” 5x, “3” 2x, “4” 3x, “5” 2x, “6” 2x; player 4 rolled “1” 9x, “2” 2x, “3” 4x, “4” 2x, “5” 1x, “6” 3x; player 5 rolled “1” 6x, “2” 4x, “3” 5x, “4” 3x, “5” 2x, “6” 1x; player 6 rolled “1” 5x, “2” 5x, “3” 4x, “4” 3x, “5” 2x, “6” 2x; player 7 rolled “1” 6x, “2” 4x, “3” 5x, “4” 3x, “5” 2x, “9” 1x; so I could post the last 2 but I think you see my point. While the graphic design and storytelling is fun, the play as you get deeper is designed to make it nearly impossible to fully complete. The game just becomes more of an aggravation than enjoyment.

All in all, if you can’t play the board game and need 10 minute time waster, this game could work. But don’t think your going to invest anything more than that much time. Fun runs out at 10 maybe 15 minutes.

This game is awesome and a fantastic idea for the single player aspect of Talisman the only 2 problems I have are there’s need to be a zoom feature,the print on some cards are too small and there isn’t a native zoom feature and second, you can’t play music or listen to podcast while playing on the app even if you put the SFX and music to “0”. I love the music but I like to listen to my own epic music or podcast while I play. Thank you for making this.
