Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game

I have been wanting to get this game for quite a while. The main reason for me holding out for as long as I have is simply: My games really need to be playable with 2-people. My wife is my main gaming partner and I try to chose games that I feel she would enjoy the theme of or mechanic involved. Recently, a couple of friends saw me looking at the rules online and the conversations and questions started…
“What is that?”
“Do you have it?”
“We need to play that!”
That’s all I needed… I had a group in place!
So I collected some cash and proceeded to order:

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: The Board Game

The Board In Play:

The Description:
“After the Cylon attack on the Colonies, the battered remnants of the human race are on the run, constantly searching for the next signpost on the road to Earth. They face the threat of Cylon attack from without, and treachery and crisis from within. Humanity must work together if they are to have any hope of survival…but how can they, when any of them may, in fact, be a Cylon agent?

Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game is an exciting game of mistrust, intrigue, and the struggle for survival. Based on the epic and widely-acclaimed new Sci Fi Channel series, Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game puts players in the role of one of ten of their favorite characters from the show. Each playable character has their own abilities and weaknesses, and must all work together in order for humanity to have any hope of survival. However, one or more players in every game secretly side with the Cylons. Players must attempt to expose the traitor while fuel shortages, food contaminations, and political unrest threatens to tear the fleet apart.

Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game is a semi-cooperative game for 3-6 players ages 10 and up that can be played in 2-3 hours.”
