Chief Ty-Rol? Good review… love the game! Pegasus makes it even harder.
@Paukkupultti Thanks for answering. Just when I played it, I was like: “cool new skill, I wonder what’s next”. I think that skills are nice aspect of the game and to create some more isn’t that hard. And it would have really made bigger gaps/variety between the characters. I was a bit disappointed by the things I’ve written bfore. I’ll give it another shot, maybe we had bad game flow for the firs time.
@FalcoII I was wondering about the skill cards aswell, but since you only have 1 action per turn and it’s usually going to be activating a room or a character ability you really don’t need more to confuse you. The skill cards really more a tool for the votes. Think of it this way, they could have just given us lame vote cards and no extra skills.
This game was the biggest, most exciting board game experience in my life. The struggle to save humanity was intense. It almost felt like a natural extension to the show that I love. What added depth was how me as admiral Saul Tigh and my friend playing president Laura Roslin really played the game “in character”. I must admit by the end I was rather hammered from all the whisky I was chucking in imitation of Tigh, but that final drunken risky jump was what saved us all. Cant wait to play again.
This game is so tense. In some ways too much. I get to where I am very upset at the other people playing, which can be a downer, especially when it can take many hours to play. The fact that you feel they are supposed to be on your team, but you are constantly forced to make bad decisions, is genious. It’s very rare that you are happy with something you did in the game. Sometimes it can be a bit too much, but it echoes the feeling of the show very well.
