Games Workshop has decided to make the revival of its long out-of-print Talisman fantasy board game (see 'Games Workshop Revives Talisman') a Diamond/Alliance exclusive for the hobby and specialty store markets.  Games Workshop will also be selling the game through its own retail stores (and mail order) as well as through the Wizards of the Coast retail chain.  The limited edition board game will have a suggested retail price of $75, and will be available to retailers via Diamond and Alliance at a discount of 38%, or 40% if ordered in case quantities of 12.

 

Games Workshop America spokesperson Tim Huckelbery notes that this will be a 'very special, one time only, limited printing,' so don't expect this revival to last too long, though there should be enough product around to meet initial demand, since according to Alliance President Daniel Hirsch, 'Through Alliance and Diamond's commitment to this product, we have secured a print run which should help retailers meet the large back-demand for Talisman.'
