Madame President, for the safety of this fleet, as well as your own safety, I must ask you accompany me to the Galactica's detention facility. There you will await a tribunal which will weigh the evidence arrayed against you on charges of treason, betrayal of your oath of office, and aiding and abetting enemies of the Colonies during a time of war.

And for the Gods' sake, Roslin, if you take off that Saran Wrap and put on your clothes, I promise to never breath a word about how you asked if it was "time to play hide the pickle wickle again, Admiral?" when I opened the door.

Sure. Some of their games are better than others, but most are pretty funny for a time or two, especially at their price point. Kill Dr. Lucky is probably their best known game, but we also really enjoy Devil Bunny Needs a Ham. Throwing Sous Chefs off of tall buildings just never gets old...

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

Apollo has activated the Admiral's Quarters to attempt to brig Roslin (7GP). We will pause for interrupts (Investigative Committee or Scientific Research). Everyone, please post or pass on interrupts. (You have 12 hours.)

When it comes time for the skill check, President Roslin will play first and Admiral Adama will play last. Baltar and Boomer, because you are in the Brig, you may only play a maximum of 1 card into the skill check. You may still play interrupts.

You could always challenge Pete to Burnout Revenge. It's his Achilles Heel of video games.

James used to work at WotC when I did; he left during the First Great Purge to found Cheapass. (It's been rebranded to "James Earnest Games" now; it was hard to get big chain stores to carry something with the word "ass" in the company name.)

I like his stuff. :)

Just for an FYI: Adama played a G2 to XO Apollo.

Especially now that I know the Devil Bunny in question is Clovis.
