Brief

In Battlestar Galactica, two teams, the humans and the cylons (not necessarily comprised of solely humans and/or cylons, though...), try to reach their destination, or keep this from happening, respectively. Before roughly midgame, however, who is on what team is not necessarily set, and throughout the game, information on the teams is strictly limited, leading to an atmosphere of trust, mistrust, accusation and betrayal.

Main Gameplay Design Patterns

Gameplay

The game progresses in two distinct stages, three if using the expansion. The first two are very similar, but differ in how much is known about the Teams. When the game begins, each player in turn selects a character, each with different abilities.
