liking Talisman Prologue, though.

I picked that up on Saturday and played through a few games.  I'm not familiar with the original board game, but this seems like a very well-done port.  Not terribly crazy about the completely luck-based gameplay, but would still recommend it.

Yeah, even though it gets very frustrating when you're trying to roll to get to a specific space (especially because your rating is based on how many turns it takes to complete the given task), I'm really enjoying this.

I've owned the boardgame for a while, but haven't bothered to break it out.  This iOS port made me dust it off.  I've reread the rules and hope to play it this week.  It's much more boardgamey than a lot of BoardGameGeek fans would like, but that's not a problem for me, especially if I'm playing with my daughter.

A lot of folks have complained about the notion of paying so much for what is essentially an extended tutorial for a future release, I really like the episodic nature of it and think there's a lot of gameplay here.  Still looking forward to the full game, though.

The full boardgame is multiplayer. It's coming in the future to the iOS version.

Actually, from what I understand, it's coming to iOS as a separate game, not as an addition to the prologue.

It's more than multiplayer, though, it's also the full game experience, meaning the goal of the game is to build up enough to get to the center section and grab the whatsit instead of achieving whatever goals are set out for you on each mission.  There will also be the possibility for the many expansions that are available for the board game.

Personally, I think the prologue gives more than enough gameplay to warrant the price and if it's an indication of the quality of the full game, I'll be getting that too.
