Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

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

BSG

You could launch vipers, you just can't launch yourself in a viper. However, I'm happy to get that fleet jumping. The population risk is a die roll; we will pause for the human crew to pass or play on a Strategic Planning interrupt.

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

BSG

No interrupts from Baltar.

Crap. I was hoping your delusional intuition would give you an SP.

Everyone passes on interrupts. Time for the die roll.

Result: 6. So close, and yet so dead. You lose 3 Population.

The remnants limp closer to Kobol. Admiral Valerii, I'm sending you two destinations. When you're ready, please post your choice.

The Admiral has chosen! Your new destination is Remote Planet. Lose 1 Fuel and 1 raptor. The human Fleet is now one jump away from victory.

That concludes Dr Baltar's turn, since he's still in stir. Apollo 13, your turn now begins. Please let me know what you would like for your card draw, and your move and action.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

BSG

Well, well - a little centurion whispered in Our ear that they left Our glorious fleet behind. And a bunch of their people, too. That's both annoying and a source of glee.

MOVE: to Caprica (ah - feel that hard radiation? So refreshing! Makes non-silicon flesh slide right off the bones like overcooked chicken!)

ACTION: Activate the space, draw 2 Crisis cards, and play one. (Billytea has sent me my choices already)

I choose:

Hangar Accident!

Some other details: Apollo 13 drew a Green and a Red card. The Crisis card he rejected is discarded. All discards are public knowledge; it was Loss of a Friend.

The one he has chosen is:

Hangar Accident
Skill Check (10 PRB).

We will pauses for interrupts (Investigative Committee and Scientific Research). Could Boomer and Dr Baltar announce whether they pass or play on interrupts; all players can also send me COs if they have them.

I need recommendations for a game: has to be playable by adults and smart teens. Limited reliance on luck. Can't take hours to play or be hard to learn.
