Battlestar Galactica, 11 May

Another outing for Commander Adama and crew with a six player Galactica round at Adrian's last week. We opted for one of the game variants that changed the initial character set up (seemingly simply to remove the better looking cast member cards...).

The game was a textbook example of cohesion and co-operation from the start, so much so that Kieron was convinced that everyone was human and that there were no Cylons. Not true, Adrian was a Cylon from the start and James found that out in about turn 2 but kept quiet lest he draw the Cylon card in turn 4. As it turned out Andy did, but played it very low key. Adrian did too, but largely because he couldn't remember whether it was worth the Cylons declaring themselves mid-game - and asking for the game mechanics would have given it all away. So it all ended up being very low key and a bit flat with hardly any plotting or derrening. The humans won quite comfortably.
