Also, man, of all the times to not be on the board...I thought all I was missing was a bit of BSG talk. And Random woke me up with "Mal wants pancakes and we're waiting on you to draw cards..."

MUCH less impressive and exciting than what Kristin had waiting for her on the board!

Congrats ND and Kristin - you guys rock, and I wish you all the best.

What's the difference between the colors of cards?

(And let this stand as a suggestion for italicized BSG to stand for OOG questions)

Green is leadership, purple is tactics, yellow is politics, red is piloting, and blue is engineering.

So that means the actions on the ones that are Action cards will relate to that field (like piloting cards can be to get additional attacks). I'm not sure if the distribution of strength values is the same in each color; billytea?

Is it possible for none of the players to be a Cylon, or is one of us "for sure" a Cylon? Is it possible that more than one of us is a Cylon?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I think one of us is for sure a cylon.

Is there a PDF of our Character sheets somewhere? edit- found them in the game board email.

In a five-player game, there are 10 loyalty cards. 2 are You Are a Cylon." We each got a card at the start, and we'll each get a second card at the mid-point.

Also, if Baltar's in the game there's an additional Not a Cylon card. And if Boomer's in, there's an additional Not a Cylon card. But each of those characters get 2 loyalty cards each at one point (baltar at the start and Sharon at the Sleeper phase I think).

So it's possible that no one is a cylon now, but someone (or ones) will be in the second half.

Also, if you have one of each, you are a cylon.

And just as a side note, each cylon has a different special power.

Or someone is a cylon but doesn't know it yet.

That would be the other way to say it.
