Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game

Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game is a board game from Fantasy Flight Games that is slated for an autumn 2008 release.

According to the manufacturer, the game "will be a semi-cooperative game, in which players work together to solve problems confronting the fleet, ranging from mechanical to political issues, all the while remaining vigilant for Cylon attacks. However, suspicion clouds the ship and its crew, as one or more players may indeed be a Cylon!"

The game is set in the first season immediately following the destruction of the Colonies. There are two "teams" in the game, the Humans and the Cylons. The game starts like the series, with the humans trying to reach Kobol. Initially, the Cylons are just game mechanics thrown at the Humans by Crisis cards during each player's turn. As the game progresses, it becomes obvious that one or more players may in fact BE a Cylon and is trying to prevent the Humans from getting to Kobol. Events in the game may change what was a Human player into a Cylon player, and you have very few options to find out for certain until it's too late!

The game is designed for 3 to 6 players. Each player chooses to play as one of 10 characters from the series, each with their own skills and abilities that help the Humans reach Kobol. Characters available include William Adama, Lee 'Apollo' Adama, Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace, Saul Tigh, Sharon 'Boomer' Valerii, Gaius Baltar, Chief Tyrol, President Laura Roslin, and Helo.
