A semi-cooperative adventure game themed around the epic and widely-acclaimed Sci Fi Channel series, Battlestar Galactica. As per FFG policy, all loyalty item card texts are blank to ensure players own a copy.

v.1.4.2 Improvements: (thanks, Paul!) 1) Cards are now revealed by either placing in a players hand or playing on the board. 2)  Playing on the board shows and announces to all players the card type. 3) Placing in players hand keeps the card identity secret. 4)  Cards can be placed on the top or bottom of decks where the game requires it. 5) The Scar card can be extracted from the Crisis Deck or discard pile. 6)  Destroyed Raptors and Vipers can be repaired by selecting Destroyed again. 7) Character cards can be taken as pieces and placed on the board or in players hands. 8)  Lots more things are reported so players can track what other players have done better. 9) Right click Shortcut to place a card from a skill deck to the Destiny Deck added. 10) Right click Shortcut to add Destiny Deck card to the Skill Check. 11) All cards can be turned over by any player, so players can put their loyalty cards on the board, another player can pick up in their hand and look and then swap them back face down again.

Changes you need to be aware of: 1) All decks of cards need to be shuffled at the start of the game except skill decks and agendas. They begin unshuffled and need to be manually shuffled if you are repopulating with the Discard deck. 2)  You cannot manually flip most cards except Loyalty and Quorum cards. Those are the only cards that you might need to exchange to another player. Other cards can be sent directly to the bottom or top of the respective deck if needed by right click. 3) To use the Destiny Deck And Skill Check properly you should use the right click menus to populate them, as long as everyone does that then you know everything is above board as the correct messages get announced. It also helps track any mistakes.

NOTE: The Pegasus Expansion "You are a Sympathetic Cylon" card is accidently placed in the Cylon card deck. If you are preparing a loyalty deck you will need to take all cards out and flip them to remove this card before rebuilding the deck. Fixed in the next update.

v.1.4.1 A nasty bug on the "Add pilot" menu of the vipers crushed and several improvements (thanks, Softbug!)

v.1.4 Many changes to improve the gaming experience! Improvements: 1) "Investigative Committee" cards are removable from the Politics Skill deck (as per Pegasus rules); 2)  The character counters have a new option "Once For Game Ability Used"; 3) The Game Box window is visible, but no object on it can be selected; 4)  The BSP Overlay is automatically on the main map when Pegasus extension is active; 5) The Destiny, the Skill Check and the Loyalty Decks have a card counter under them; 6)  The Situation button tracks all the cards that the players have on their hands; 7) The two Lost Resource BSG Damage tokens can be moved to the game box; 8)  Each game piece has his place on the board; 9) Auto-Jump: when the Battlestar Galactica jumps, each ship returns to the reserves automatically; 10) The damaged vipers go automatically to the damaged area;
