Skim Game Trade. Win Talisman!

It's no great mystery that the new, Black Industries version of Talisman is probably my favorite new, old game of the past few months. (And apparently not just mine since it's headed up to Xbox Live here soonish.) As with most deluxo boardgames, though, the price tag is just about as hefty as the sturdy cardboard box. But, if the price to play has kept you away from one of the best games the '80s had to offer, you can find relief in this month's issue of Game Trade Magazine. Yup, a short skimming of the game news, previews, and reviews magazine/webzine leads you to their month's game giveaway, this time featuring the magical quest game Talisman. The four games they're giving away also include mysterious bonus cards from Black Industries. So, just jump on over to GTM's giveaway website, type in your info, and you could be slaying dragons and turning your friends into frogs in just a few short weeks!
