"Fun game that's different everytime you play it."
4 stars"

Fans of the new BSG TV Series will thoroughly enjoy this game. Full of suspicion, accusations, & sabotage, it's hard to know who to trust. Finding out who among you are Cylons is just the first problems the players face, preventing them from wiping out the human race is a constant battle. The balancing of resources is a challenging task and every game seems to run a very different course.

This game is well thought out and remains fun and interesting even after you have played it many times.

"Great value for money and a fun afternoon"
5 stars"

We have the same group get together every month to play this plus a shorter game. It's useful having a game that can accommodate large numbers and gameplay changes every time based on which character you're playing and whether you turn out to be human or cylon. There are lots of different tactics that can be used depending on wether you are human or Cylon. A great testimony to the game is that one of our players has never seen the television show but didn't find this to be a problem, he loves the game.

I note that this a lengthy game; it often takes us 4–5 hours to play so better for a Sunday afternoon than a lunchbreak.

I've now played the game about eight times and continue to enjoy it every time.

"Awesome Game"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Such a great fun exciting game to play with friends. It's different every time and you never know quite how it will end.

You don't need any knowledge of the TV series to play but if you do you will be reminded of episodes and the characters.

I recommend this game to anyone but especially to people who like settlers of catan, risk or game of life.

Description

After forty years passing without a single word from the Cylons, they returned, and all but eradicated  the human race. In this time of strife, they must put aside the petty differences that once separated them and focus on one thing - survival.

Humanity's only hope of a future is to find a new home; a place called Earth. The Cylons, however, are in constant and tireless pursuit.  They now look, breathe and bleed exactly like humans. Cylons have infiltrated the Fleet, destroyed resources, and threaten to finish the extermination they have begun. The humans have no choice but to run, plagued by the paranoia of an indistinguishable enemy.

Are you a Cylon who will help to erase any memory of the human race? Or will your resilience and determination to survive prove to the Cylons that humanity is worth saving?

Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game is an exciting game of mistrust, intrigue, and the struggle for survival which places each player in the role of one of ten of their favorite characters from the show. Each playable character has their own abilities and weaknesses, and all must work together in order for humanity to have any hope of survival. However, one or more players in every game is secretly a Cylon, and wants the humans to perish.

For 3-6 players ages 10 and up, playable in 2-3 hours.
