Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game - Coming from Fantasy Flight
In the fall of 2008, Fantasy Flight will release Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game, based on the television series airing in the U.S. on the SCI FI Channel. The BSG game will be a semi-cooperative game with players working together to solve mechanical, political, and other problems affecting the fleet, while simultaneously watching the heavens for Cylon attacks. Trouble might be brewing within the fleet as well as one or more players might actually be Cylons themselves!
This Fall 2008 release puts the game’s release between the first and second halves of BSG’s final season. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.

I always approach games based on movies/tv/books with skepticism, but this idea sounds pretty good. I wonder if the Cylon players know who they are, and if they can work together. Posted by Jim Cote on Feb 7, 2008 at 12:45 AM | #

Well, I suspect some of the Cylons know they are, others won’t until later in the game, no? Sounds quite a bit like Shadows over Camelot to me :P Posted by Surya Van Lierde on Feb 7, 2008 at 01:07 AM | #

> Sounds quite a bit like Shadows over Camelot to me :P More like Shadows Over Camelot meets Arkham Horror! The “Horror Over Camelot” anyone? :D Posted by Diane Close on Feb 7, 2008 at 10:40 AM | #
