PLAYED FOR YOU

Battlestar Galactica

Exodus Expansion

Battlestar Galactica is the Board game to the TVV series of the same name; the game is played in teams, but your allegiance is secret and the teams have different goals. There are two teams, Humans and Cylons, both with a specific and very different goal: Humans are searching for the way back to Earth and the Cylons want to destroy mankind. A move comprises one turn for each player, one player turn comprises: the drawing of ability cards, movement, action, crisis, activating Cylon ship when necessary and preparing for jumping, when necessary. The humans win, if they travel a minimum of 8 distance units and do a final jump. The Cylons win if they hinder the humans to achieve their goal.

The Exodus Expansion lets players make decisions based on their loyalty conflicts, adds attacks of the Cylon fleet, encounters with allies on the Galactica and the Colonial One and maybe even a confrontation with a court of law. There are new characters and cards for a Council of Twelve as well as cards for goals and abilities and for crises and super crises; all these components should be used in any of the variants with which you play Exodus; the rest of the components can be used to your personal liking. Special options are Cylon fleet, Conflicting Loyalties and Ionian Nebula.

With this expansion the adventure continues on even more levels and with more surprises, Exodus can be combined with the Pegasus expansion. With this expansion too, the game provides a fascinating mix of cooperation and achieving your own goals and the permanent being on guard to beware of possible Cylon allies.
