1. Whats this "Century" thing you guys mentioned? It came up first when you were talking about winning a trophy, and again when you were talking about the amount of time spent gameing at the con. What exactly is it?

2. Near the end you mentioned you had not seen "Jerry". Is that Jerry Taylor you were talking about? Did something happen to him?]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 08:21:17 -0700 http://point2pointsource.com/xoops/modules/news/article.php?storyid=105&com_id=1630&com_rootid=1629&#comment1630 News http://point2pointsource.com/xoops/modules/news/article.php?storyid=105&com_id=1630&com_rootid=1629&#comment1630
Battlestar Galactica is great! Tons of theme and a hoot to play- especially with a few beers (or too much coffee- my preferred method). For those who dont know the game- Galactica has to make a certain number of "jumps" to win, before it is either destroyed, or runs out of fuel, food, or population. Various crisies (via cards) happen which all players can try to stop (also via cards played face down). But since one of the players will most likely be a cylon they can secretly play against the rest via the face down cards. Two cards are also randomly added to the face-down pile. So, if you then turn them all over and you get one or two bad cards that loose you the crisis, you can never know if there is a Cylon player out there working against you. Course, if 3 bad cards turn up, then you definitly know there is a traitor in your midst, but you still dont know who...

I usually start the game by accusing everyone of being a Cylon. Look how he holds his cards- he's a Cylon! Bob's taken too many bathroom breaks- obviously a Cylon! Etc...

Highly recomended for anyone how liked the TV series; just dont take it too seriously. As Scott says, the fun is in the player interaction.

Oh yeah! Jason and I did start a game of Russian Campaign, which ground to a halt halfway thru turn one. I'd rather forgotten that. So it was the ADC2 that you had the problem with? I thought it was me... ]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 07:55:02 -0700 http://point2pointsource.com/xoops/modules/news/article.php?storyid=105&com_id=1629&com_rootid=1629&#comment1629 News http://point2pointsource.com/xoops/modules/news/article.php?storyid=105&com_id=1629&com_rootid=1629&#comment1629
Point2Point Episode 40

In their latest podcast, Jason and Scott discuss their time at WBC, from the people they encounter to the nice hotel across the street where they stayed. Oh, and, of course, the games.
