In Talismania, you play as King Midas, who has accidentally transformed his daughter, Marygold, into a golden statue with the magical Midas Touch. The Greek god Zeus will agree to reverse her transformation if Midas uses magical talismans to create money to spend on others instead of himself, to atone for his sins of greed. Players create coins by rotating tiles to connect bronze, silver or gold talismans that appear on the game board. Players can earn more valuable coins and big level-end bonuses with complex or long paths and completing paths quickly. The coins are used to build the structures that his subjects really need. The more money you earn, the nicer the building, and the closer Midas is to saving his cursed daughter. - user summary
