The Battlestar galatica boardgame is really good

Maybe the best fantasy flight game I've played: certainly better than Arkham horror.

The only problem is after 3 plays it seems very difficult for the humans to win. I think they need a modest extra - anyone else played it and have a view?

I haven't played it but I have heard only mediocre opinions.

Much the same to you they doubt humans can win. Also, my secret informant, felt it took freaking forever.

I also don't like Battlestar, so I won't be buying it and I don't really move in the same circles as my secret informant so I won't likely be trying it.

One doesn't have to try EVERY Fantasy Flight game, after all their first WoW board game was SHOCKING. (can't say I like the new one either, but then, I hate WoW. Still I insist that my opinion of the earlier WoW board game was not biased by that, the badness of the game's mechanics overwhelmed any bias I had).

Yeah, I cannot say I think to much of andriod either - it's ultra clunky.

Our cylons have noticed the same thing - if you reveal at the wrong time you can end up sitting on your arse. You have to reveal to kill.
