Battlestar Galactica Das Brettspiel

Götterdämmerung Erweiterung

Battlestar Galactica, the board game based on the TV series of the same name, is played in teams, but adds the complication that your allegiance is secret and the teams have different goals. Teams are Humans and Cylons, both with a specific aim in the game: Humans are searching for the way back to Earth and Cylons simply want to destroy mankind. A round comprises one move per player, and a move comprises the drawing of ability cards, movement, action, crises, activating Cylon ship and preparing for jumping, if necessary. Humans win, if they travel a minimum of 8 units and do a final jump. Cylons win if they hinder the humans to achieve their goal.

In the Daybreak / Götterdämmerung expansion problems arise on Galactica and all have to put their last hopes on Demetrius, the ship guided by unknown forces; you need to cope with desperate missions and mutiny is threatening. New are alternate versions of some characters – there can only be one version in a game - and there are so-called miracle abilities or once-only use in a game. The abilities of mutiny cards can be used as an action. For the Mutineer – a new type of loyalty cards – new rules are introduced. The is also an alternate game “Die Suche nach der Erde / The Search for Earth”, using a Demetrius and Rebel Basis Star Board.

Yet another thrilling challenge for each of the factions, as usual resulting from the mix of cooperation and achieving your own goals, with the added complication of mutiny and the thrilling search for the Mission of “Suche nach der Erde”! An absolute must if you own the core game, the expansion can of course be combined with all other expansions!
