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

Has anybody played Cineplexity? I just read a glowing review.

move out and draw fire

I hadn't even heard of Cineplexity, but it sounds kind of cool. Like Apples to Apples but without the subjective aspect.

It also sounds like it could be a whack-pack for coming up with ideas for stories/movies/etc.

While reading up on it on BGG, I saw that there's an expansion for BSG: Pegasus. [link] The only thing that's tempting about this is the two plastic basestars.

Gee, so much excitement here for a viper jock I can barely contain myself. I will draw a yellow card, pack up my kit in sickbay, then move to the press room on Caprica One and draw two more yellow cards.

I discard a card randomly in order to go to Caprica One -- let me know which it is, High Lord God administrator.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You do not in fact discard randomly. The FAQ has clarified that Apollo's Headstrong ability applies only when he is forced to discard, say through a Crisis Card, and not when he chooses an action (moving between vessels) which necessitates a discard. It seems a fine distinction to me, but since there's a clear statement of the maker's intent, we'll run with it.

First, I'm sending you your new Yellow card. Then, you may post your discard.

Edit: The Captain's card draw has exhausted the Politics deck, so I'll reshuffle it before he works the Press Room.

Ok, Apollo works the Press Room to draw two Politics cards, which I've sent to him. His Crisis Card is:

Security Breach
Skill Check 6 GP

We will pause for interrupts (Investigative Committee and Scientific Research). Then play into the check will begin with Boomer.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Just in time for me to leave my board behind in TX.

No interrupts from Boomer.

Remember, you can leave me COs for the check itself too.

ayup.

OK gang, So it's 6, which seems rather low. I have 3 cards. I can help a fair amount, but I ask, should I burn a card? I recall talk that one would like 10ish cards to make it a round. Granted its my turn next. I ask your advice.
