So a game similar to Munchkins but different?

[MaGiK BulleTz]

I read a review where the guys basically describes there being a goal and the four players are all trying to be the ONE to win said goal, while also co-operating to get further but also trying to backstab their friends... so if I wanted to introduce a game to a friend who has never played Munkcins or anything D&D for that matter, this might be fun online alternative?

No co-op play here at all, of any degree.

FFA amongst friends then?

Pretty much. Some people let their friends be, but if you get a nice item, chances are I'll kill you for it.

The big difference between this game and Munchkin for example is Luck/Strategy. This game is largely based on luck in dice rolls, card pick ups, etc. There is a fair amount of strategy on barring another person, but not like Munchkin. While Munchkin does require decent luck on rolls and card pick-ups there is a lot more strategy involved.

I've noticed some hardcore Munchkin/40k fans aren't a huge fan of Talisman due to the Luck:Strategy ratio. Personally I love all these games, but that may be because Lady Luck and I have a very sensual relationship.
