BGWS 060 - Battlestar Galactica, the Reality Show

Board Games with Scott is a show where I explore modern board and card games. On this episode, I take Battlestar Galactica, the board game, and present it as a reality show.

There are about 60 of these videos over at boardgameswithscott.com

When will you upload the second video to this one? It said to be continued

[snicholson]

That will be a neverending cliffhanger. I did that as a parody of the show and their many cliffhangers. The game ended quickly after that point.

That was masterful nicholson. Taking all that time to make another video, and you really made it up to your fans by doing something really cool you've never done before. Very nice.

[snicholson]

It actually took this long for me to figure out how to upload videos longer than 10 minutes to YouTube (I joined the "partner program"). I've been making them over at boardgameswithscott the whole time - there's about 45 over there that aren't here. I plan to upload the rest here now that I can.

"Who's a Cylon, we know he's a cylon he's the worst acting cylon in the game"

Classic, must use that line in my games.

Great introduction to the game, really shows what it's like to actually play it. Definitely going to buy it having seen this. Thanks Scott.

[UNCrunfree]

[ncspacemonkey]

Great video. I'm thinking of getting the game so it was nice to see a very detailed experience. I loved the way you presented it. I'm sold.

Thats a very calm game. I have never played a game of this where we were not screaming at each other near the end lol

[Bedinsis]

I played this game the other night. The humans won, probably cause the cylon Loyalty cards were only handed out at the halfway point, so we didn't have to deal with them for quite a while. And one of them acted suspicious right after the halfway point (hmm, four negative red cards to decide the outcome, and two players gets a lot of red cards, out of which one only played two cards and the other four, I wonder who did this?)

the fat admiral lady is SO BAD at lying :D

[copcopps]

Galactica actually doesn't have lasers its ammunition-based guns

[fiz52]

People that keep saying the cylons always win or they have all the odds on their side are playing the humans BAD. Both sides have an equal chance to win the game.
