The base game is now but previously wasn't. You still have to buy the expansions. I've had it and the season pass since 2014. Put in over 400 hours of game play. A pretty faithful port of the board game. I recommend trying it for free.

Has it just today become free to play or has it been free to play?

From the Steam page:

NEWS POSTED Wed, May 15
Talisman: Digital Edition - Free-to-Play Announcement
As of May 23rd, Talisman: Digital Edition will be available for free on Steam, permanently!
Hey Talisman fans!

Today we're excited to announce that we're going to be making Talisman: Digital Edition free to download and keep on Steam as of May 23rd!

Over the 10+ years since we originally launched Talisman: Digital Edition here on Steam, the game has gone on to become a favourite for millions of players across the globe. We're hoping that making the base game of Talisman: Digital Edition free-to-play will introduce the game to a whole new wave of future Talisman fans.

They're doing this now for a bit of a brand recognition bump. The new edition of the board game (tabletop) is coming out and they want people to try this and buy the new game.

Also, the board game's 4th edition (revised) has scads of free downloadable characters as free expansion dudes if you look on the fansite:

These are my notes, but I haven't tried this in a long time so YMMV:

How to add free Steam games to your Steam library
----------------------------------------------------
Find the game on SteamDB.info. Example: https://steamdb.info/app/1873030/subs/

On the bottom left hand side, click on "Packages".

Copy the "SubID"

Go to Store.SteamPowered.com and log in.

Go to any steam game page. Example:
https://store.steampowered.com/ap...Territory/

Open the developer console

Paste this into the developer console and run it after replacing the subid:
javascript:AddFreeLicense(INSERT-SUBID-HERE)

Verify the game has been added here:
https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/

I see an Add to Library button now so I didn't need to use this trick but I'll make a note of it for the future. Thanks!

This game is free to play. It shouldn't be on here. This is not a slick deal. Something that's free is not a deal because that is the base price. There's no haggling involved there is no getting it for cheaper because it's free already. This stuff needs to stop showing up here because it's clogging the site with bullshit.

Saying that you still have to buy the expansions it's like saying you still have to buy the secret pass or coin package or whatever for any free to play game. They're always going to be ways for you to give them money because that's the whole point right? That's how they make their money! This doesn't belong here and it's just a waste of time.

I received an email from Nomad Games today and they are also soon to be releasing the 5th Digital Edition with new artwork revamped rules and sleek and modern redesign lol. Their words. I have a feeling this free to play is to get you hooked and hopefully to buy the new version.

If the product is free, then you ARE the product. Still a good deal for zero dollars!

This game has dreadful RNG. Played 20 games and the bots always got useful drops while I never did.
