How many Cylons are there on this ship?! [BSG]

[Anatoli]

This weekend I brought Battlestar Galactica down to the club and we managed to play a 5-player session. It had been a while since I played this game, but it is every bit as good as I remembered it to be. And of all sessions we have played this was perhaps one of the most exciting and on the knife playthroughs of BSG we've played to date.

Two of the guys had not played BSG before so there was some explaining of the rules. The characters in our session were:

Gaius Baltar (President) played by me
Tom Zarek played by Magnus
Sharon Valeri played by Patrik
William Adama (Admiral) played by Anders
Galen Tyrol played by Daniel

Having picked Baltar I knew it was a gamble, drawing 2 loyalty cards at the start of the game increases the chance of turning out to be a Cylon from the start. But I love that crazy ass character, and he has a very powerful ability to check look at one loyalty card belonging to another player.

Fortunately for the crew, president Baltar did not turn out to be a Cylon - and I immediately used my special ability to ensure that the admiral of the fleet was a human. As it turned out Adama was a human as well, the two most important position were safe.

Check my blog for the full AAR of this session, which turned out to be one of the most exciting and on the knife BSG games we've had to date: http://anatolisgameroom.blogspot.se/2013/10/how-many-cylons-are-there-on-this-ship.html

Fantastic game.
PLayed it several times. Cylons won most times 
We tried the Pegasus Expansion. That was really crazy for the humans, so chances are that won't be played again.
