 Should have read description more closely January 14, 2009

I figured that this would be like the Talisman Expansion packs before like the dungeon or the city, but all this comes with is some plastic figurines (which is nicer than the cardboard the original comes with, but really who cares), bigger character cards (big deal) and fate points. Fate is not really much of a concept in my opinion. See other reviews for a description. Anyway, I wish I hadn't bought it, but I don't think I will bother to return it.
 Change if you want it. December 18, 2008

The Talisman 4th edition update adds a few features and some minor tweaks to a first rate game in preparation for a series of updates based on the newly released version of Talisman this will make your older (2007 version) compatible with all new releases from this point on.
Minor aesthetic changes including the design on the back of the cards, some card art, (my constantly drawing son gives it a thumbs up) and the cardboard figures are replaced by plastic figures which if painted can be kinda cool. There is nothing that prevents the use of the plastic standups if they are preferred and should be retained in your set in case you lose any of the figures.
The biggest change is the concept of "fate" as an attribute. Each character gets a Fate value along with his others. These are basically re-rolls that can be used to re-roll a single die OF YOUR OWN. It adds a twist to the game and will speed it up.
There are also modifications to the board, On the Desert squares you still lose a life but you also draw a card. Other minor modification allow you to acquire fate tokens.
If these are a prelude to a new release of Talisman City then this will be worth your while. Note that this update is only required if you own Talisman The Magical Quest Game (Newest Version 2007) however if you like the game the way it is and don't plan on using any future updates then you can live without it. The game seems just as good either way.
