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

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

Stunt Husband, that is made of awesome! I love the direct sales pitch approach. And how easily you caved.

So? Is this a good game? Do we want to try a Buffy Play n Post? As in, should I be looking into buying it too?

I wonder if it would be cool or confusing to have a couple games going at the same time in this manner. We've been pretty good with the BSG headers.

It rates 6.40 on BoardGameGeek, which is not spectacular, but still pretty decent, especially for a TV show tie-in. (You can find reviews, session reports etc here [link] (Unsurprisingly, Battlestar Galactica is the top-rated TV show tie-in at 7.79.)

I would probably beg off playing it - I don't know enough about it and how well it's suited to forum play - but don't let that discourage you.

I don't have it yet - he's ordered it. It'll be a few weeks. :)

I'll let you know when it arrives. :)

I thought it was out of print. Cool Game Store Guy. Also, his comment on BSG was exactly right.

Hee. Admiral Adama, you stand accused of toasterhood. Do you wish to play any interrupts?

I do not. I live for surprise.

In that case, I have heard from everyone and there are no interrupts, so let's start the check. In turn, please post the number of cards you play, and send me the details. President Roslin begins, but is out of cards. Admiral Adama, you will finish off the check. As always, feel free to send me COs if it is not yet your turn.

Cylon Accusation
10 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: No cards
Baltar:
Apollo:
Boomer:

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

BSG

The more the merrier. I shall play no cards.

I have COs from Apollo, Boomer and Adama:

Cylon Accusation
10 YGP

Destiny: 2 cards
Roslin: No cards
Baltar: No cards
Apollo: 1 card
Boomer: 1 card
Adama: 3 cards

Sadly, I don't have the card details on me (I need to double-check the Destiny Deck's contribution), so I will leave you all in suspense. Can Adama escape the same Brig to which he consigned the Fleet's political leadership? Tune in next week to find out. (In 6 hours at least.)
