At Gen Con Indy last year, there was a LOT of interest in the Fantasy Flight Games “Battlestar Galactica” board game. I wasn’t fortunate enough to get to sit down and actually try the game myself, but my observations indicated that people who were sitting down and trying the game were enjoying it immensely. There was a lot of laughing, trash talking, and excited shouting around the table, which usually is a sign of a good game. I hope to get to actually sit down and try the game this year, though the “buzz” may prevent it this year as well… Fantasy Flight Games is planning to release an expansion to the Battlestar Galactica game featuring the Pegasus battlestar encountered during the series. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Fantasy Flight tables at Gen Con are just as busy this year with people trying out this new expansion set.
The Pegasus expansion adds two new supplemental game boards featuring the Pegasus and the planet New Caprica. It adds seven new characters, a new Cylon locations overlay, two plastic Battlestars, along with new cards. The Pegasus board can be used by itself or together with the New Caprica board to adjust the game.
For more information about the game and the expansion, see the Fantasy Flight Games web site.
