I was taught how to play once, but only got to play like a turn and a half before someone realized they had to go home. Sadly the game ended there because we didn't have enough players anymore.Derek Wellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12918286060936836276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046699676074993791.post-16168318315536921142013-04-04T10:49:09.482-05:002013-04-04T10:49:09.482-05:00I liked my one play of BSG, but I don't think ...I liked my one play of BSG, but I don't think I'd play it often. It has a better ROI than, say, Android, but I like games with a higher enjoyment/game time ratio. But epic it certainly is.FarmerLennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809519427712934619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046699676074993791.post-87940939151607376202013-04-04T10:43:12.898-05:002013-04-04T10:43:12.898-05:00I always make sure to tell everyone to take an ext...I always make sure to tell everyone to take an extra long time to read their cards, regardless of whether not they have a Cylon card, to make it fair. And again during the sleeper phase, so Cylons can remind themselves of their abilities.<br /><br />The cards do feature a bold title that sums up what the "reveal" ability does, but I've never thought about using player screens. Definitely something to consider.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943069743769638883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046699676074993791.post-52677453876392202312013-04-04T10:32:13.713-05:002013-04-04T10:32:13.713-05:00This game really benefits from player screens, in ...This game really benefits from player screens, in my opinion. Unlike The Resistance, BSG's traitor cards have special text on them that the Cylon players need to remember so that they can reveal themselves at an opportune time (which in my experience has been an important balancing factor to keep the human side from winning too easily). But because the loyalty cards for human players don't have similar text, heaven help a newbie Cylon player who forgets what his "reveal" ability does. Needing to take a second glance at your loyalty card basically gives you away as a robot to the other players. You have to put up with some extra clunkiness as the price for BSG's theme, which is unfortunate.kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791884010747001360noreply@blogger.com
