DMF Online

Hi all,

I'd like to get a Battlestar Galactica Boardgame going on friday evening (start around 7).
Optimally we'd need 6 player, I already have 3 (myself and 2 others). I know Gustav was probably available and would very much like to join (please confirm Gustav). So we'd need ideally 2 more players...

any takers?

I'll be there (but I'm not sure if you already included me with those 3) and my wife will probably come along, but I think she will only play if we're missing a player...

Btw how long does a game usually take? I have a Pathfinder game Saturday morning, don't want to burn out

somewhere between 3 and 4 hours, definitely not longer... And yeah, you and Tobias were included in the 3, your wife isn't but if she wants to play, we can reserve a spot for her as well

Ok, yes, she (Rebeka) will play too.

See you Friday!

Confirmed.

great!

1 spot left, we'd really like to be 6... first come first served

Hey.. I just had a quick look at the game rules and it looks very intimidating.

I thought this game would be like the resistance, but I can see it's filled with battlestar galactica references etc (character names, politics, ships and what not)

So how suitable is this game for someone who doesn't know battlestar galactica? Is it important? Neither me nor my wife knows anything about the setting, will we still enjoy the game and more importantly will we be able to follow and thus not spoil the experience for the rest of you?

it is certainly playable without any prior knowledge of BSG, though the people who know it better might enjoy more ''roleplaying'' their character, wich you obviously won't be able to... All in all you should still really enjoy the game itself and I don't think you not knowing the setting would in any way spoil the game for others...

basic required knowledge will be repeated for you during the rules explanation but it comes down to this: there is the human race, that had expanded over 9 colonies, all got nuked by a robotrace called the Cylons. We are on board of a hyperjumpcapable spaceship called Battlestar Galactica with a convoy of civilian ships that we are trying to protect. We are probably all that remains of humanity, and we need to find the promised land, a planet called Kobol. We know that the Cylons have succeeded in making artificial humans whose mind gets uploaded in a new body on board of a Cylon resurrection ship when they die. What we don't know is if any of us are Cylons (highly likely though) or whom they are...

We are full by the way!

Thanks for having us last night!

How did the Munchkin game go?

it went well until about 6 AM
