BSG: Board Game -- Enjoyable by non-BSG fans? Is the BSG Board Game (base with no expansions) still enjoyable by people who have never seen the show and couldn't tell you the difference between BSG and say Star Trek?

No spoilers at all, beyond something you find out in the 3rd episode of season 1. Play away!

True. I just bought the Death Angel card game last week and paid $180 to buy Space Hulk (3rd edition). $300 is too much for any bored game. You can still find the 3rd edition on ebay if you still want it. Also, I've heard that Level 7 Protocol is like Space Hulk but improved. I haven't read any reviews absent of nostalgia for Space Hulk, so I'm not sure what to expect not having grown up with it. Have you managed to find a copy? If so, what do you think of it?

I do believe there are variant rules for 2 player, though I do not believe they exist within the standard rule books. You can google this and find more information on board game geek. I would say though, that this is very much a social deduction game and the more people the better this game is (though it does take longer). I think the two player variant kind of messes with what makes this game great. Just my opinion though.

That is correct, Sheldon is not in the game. There isn't a Sheldon character piece. He is kind of always a "victim" in this game.

I'm not sure I understand the question. This is a board game not a video game. Hope that helps,

It is a complete game, but there are expansions available. This is not the "Illuminati NWO" CCG, this is the original card/board game that preceded NWO and predates the CCG explosion of the '90s.

No...the faction expansion is seperate and gives u another colour...the packs just offer a few new cards.I have the base game the faction expansion and the asteroid belt and i feel that gives me enough variety for this game...If u like this game u may also like Euphoria castles of burgundy and roll for the galaxy that have dice mechanics as well.

I am not into gaming. However, when I read the reviews of others before I bought, one of the reviewers said it was great. You might look at the TV page and look for other reviewers. You can find his.

With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here. I've played a few times through the intro story and have even played the single player story, enjoying the game each time. I do feel that, if played on a regular basis, with the same crew, you may find yourself losing some of your desire to play but that is where the expansions come in. You can grab the Breakin' Atmo expansion on the cheap and add 50 new cards to the decks for a change of pace or get the Pirates and Bounty Hunters expansion for some player v player action as well. I just purchased all of the expansions except the latest one and cannot wait to play. Keep Flyin' With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here.

We actually played w the first set for the past year, no expansion packs. It was fun bc there are so many possible variations. I did get the first and second expansion packs for my daughter this holiday; but I really think you play for a while w/o the expansion packs.

The product pictured here (white box, We Didn't Playtest This At All - With Chaos Pack) is the original base game, not an expansion pack. I can't tell you how many cards are in the original deck because we have all the expansions and some cards are mixed together, but there are 15 Chaos cards included. There are also a few blank cards so you can create your own fun. :)

In truth this is a hobby game. That means you expect to play it over several nights and enjoy playing board games. It is quite fun, and I think it is worth it, but I have more opertunities to play it than an average person. If you have a group of friends who hang out regularly and enjoy tension and hard thinking then buy it. If not, this might not be a good purchase.

This is the 2nd expansion/release of the Star Trek Deck Building Game. Although it can be played on its own or combined with the other games.

I recently got the game. Its fun and it keeps the same idea, but it doesnt have the same feel. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy the game, but I would definately prefer TIM over this game.

it's one of those games that you can cannonball into. the rulebook is simply written and easy to understand, so once you read over it, you'll be good to go. the hard part is that it's fairly easy to learn, but mastering it is another story entirely :)

The differences are in the cards. There are simply new cards to add to your game with each expansion. There are more ideas based on recent pop culture, news, and horrible thoughts that are developed by the creators of CAH. IF you play the game as much as I do, these expansions are a must. The cards I have been playing with before the expansion simply lose their shock factor and interest after a while. It's nice to get new crap to make your friends read out loud in varying combinations.

From the picture it looks like first edition. I bought this earlier this year & the box was square instead of rectangular. I don't know of any differences between the editions and both will work with all editions of the base game. Might check out BoardGameGeek.com for more info.
