TBH they should backport the new connections to the standalone game. Yellow being an island was crappy.

The "postgame mode" on BGG works really well; and the map is much nicer. It's a win-win.

My brother is our Dispatcher, if there is one role that will see play every game it's probably that one.

i know, but didn't know if tickets had been sold yet. It can be difficult to get them particularly if people miss the first sale date.

So we played another 5p game of BattleStar Galactica last night, and saw something new: 1 Cylon!

The Exodus expansion adds some fuckery to the Loyalty Deck, so it always contains 1 more card than you'll actually play. So a Deck of 11, +1 for Baltar, +1 for Sharon, +1 for a resolved Personal Goal (the other two didn't get resolved, and almost took Fuel to 0), +1 for Cally executing Sharon and me having to reroll as Gaeta.... and the card left on the table was the other YAAC card!

We were paranoid as hellllll. The (revealed) Cylon was pissed at everyone trying to find his incompetent scumbuddy. When it was all over we laughed, the Cylon laughed, the toaster laughed, it was a good time.

::edit:: Assuming I can still do math, that's 7/13 (Initial Loyalty) * 1/7 (Sleeper Loyalty) * 1/2 (Execution) * 1/2 (Personal Goal) = 1/52, or about a 2% chance.
Retired as of October 2014.

Nah. The person that started with dispatcher spent a lot of time abroad in Japan, and is obsessed with asian culture, and thought he looked korean, so his name is Jun-Seo Kim. Boring.

Spoiler:
But he's family with Buster Move. I decided they were gay lovers.
