Expansion Petition

By abraxus_smith, in Battlestar Galactica

If you were upset that the last revealed "?" box on the homepage was not a Battlestar Galactica expansion...

If you love Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game and/or Battlestar Galactica: Pegasus Expansion...

If you would like to see at least one more expansion added...

Leave a post that says so -- enough posts will get us noticed -- and if destiny is on our side, we may have a new chance at finding Earth and saving humanity!

We would like another expansion, please!

Seconded, I would love to see another expansion, this time with an earth objective, maybe 1 extra character of each type, perhaps Hoshi as a military leader? that wouldn't be so bad. Though I would think maybe Gaeta would fit in a little better as he is a more pronounced character. Perhaps Billy could be a political leader with Hot Dog in the pilot spot and maybe Dr. Cottle or Gaeta if he wasn't a military leader in the support with D'anna as another cylon leader...

Would love to see this happen. FFG only have half of the series out so far! They should finish the job!

I really don't think you need a petition in order to get another expansion for this game.

I agree with the last person that a petition is unlikely to be necessary as it is such a good game but if it is an issue then yeah I like the game and would love to see what a new expansion is like.

I could've told you that the last question mark box wasn't going to be a BSG expansion, because those were just for brand new games coming out.

That aside though, I would LOVE another expansion! There's still a lot of cool stuff from the show that we need in this game before it's complete! happy.gif

They really don't need to add any more mechanics ( aka New Caprica), additional characters, perhaps 2 new skill card "actions" per type with an extra reckless ability per card type would be sufficient, more crisis cards, more super crisis cards, more "you are a cylon" action cards that can do various things (only 2 or so really could be added), maybe even a special expansion that has painted cylon, viper and raptor ships would be cool (or at least more detailed). I guess maybe even a mini expansion incorporating some of these elements:

more characters

more skill card actions + 1 extra reckless ability

more crises cards + super crises cards to reflect the things that happened in the 3rd and 4th season.

Just that in itself would be a pretty good package and I would pick something like that up in a heartbeat.

I sure do hope Konieczka reads the forums, his game is wonderful and I'd like to see this game have a longer shelf life for people. I hear some people say that after a while the game gets boring and repetitive but I know I'm not in that minority sad.gif

QFT.

One more following the Earth part from the series

Yeah, we can almost count on at least one more expansion for this game. After that, it would likely have to be a new game entirely (or a variant, like the Stowm of Swords expansion for the A Game of Thrones boardgame).

Yes, there are still a ton of characters I would LOVE to see in a future expansion:

Political: Billy Keikeya, Tory Foster, Romo Lampkin

Military: Felix Gaeta, Aaron Kelly, Jack Fisk

Pilots: Crashdown, Hot Dog, Racetrack

Support: Cally Henderson, James Lyman, Doc Cottle, Paulla Schaffer

Mil or Pilot: Sam Anders

Some of these are obviously more necessary than others. I can't live without Billy though!!

two words for pilot, Hot Dog

duh...yeah!!!!!!!!!!MOre Battlestar! Westeros? Really? cmon!

This shouldn't even be needed,...we should be playing a new expansion by now.

I bet they have a top secret project in the works....building up anticipation and then BAM! super awesome expansion released and BSG becomes bestest selling board game ever....or I just have high hopes, or the FFG staff have been infiltrated by cylons.

I suspect the game developers are too busy watching Caprica.

Caprica the Board Game I can't imagine to be any fun really, can you imagine what the game would be like?

The way Caprica is currently, I agree... I don't think it would make a fun game. Give the show a few seasons and maybe a decent board game could be made. Maybe. I can't even imagine what the objective would be?

New expansion please!

Want more! Want more!

Bring it on!

My prediction for characters:

Political: Tory Foster

Support: Felix Gaeta (unless he's listed as military)

Military: Sam Anders (unless he's listed as pilot)

Pilot: Hot Dog (even though he's a chump, and unless they shuffle the other three)

Cylon leaders: All three other cylons

That way all 12 cylons are represented, and Gaeta finally shows up to kick ass. Fancy mechanics - allied basestar location, and some way of splitting the human players into factions, mutiny-style. Even if it just shows up on a few crisis cards, the mutiny episodes were the high point of the last season, and the thing that excites me most about a second expansion.

Want More from this game *_*

Since I wasn't completely happy with the last episode, I'm not sure I'd want to play it out in a game. But, to each his own.

one more expansion PLeAsE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we DEFINITELY need at least TWO more expansions for the Battlestar Galactica board game. Seems like a no brainer. 4 seasons and four BSG game releases. Even my non-gamer friends who love the BSG show and play the game with me are asking when the next expansion is coming out.

I wouldn't mind seeing the next expansion for BSG being a "cards only" set like FFG does with Arkham Horror...covering the rest of season 3 (Baltar's trial, the anti-Cylon virus, dwindling resources, the Temple battle). But I would say the set after that (covering season 4human civil war AND getting to Earth...twice) would have to have a totally new board for Galactica. And possibly a board for the rebel Cylon basestar.

Characters we need to be able to play: Billy, Doc Cottle, Hot Dog, Anders (human), Racetrack, Crashdown, Cally, Tory (human), Gaeta, Romo Lamkin, etc.

Cylon Leaders: D'Anna Biers, Aaron Doral, Simon, Tigh, Ellen, Tyrol, Tory, Anders, Boomer.

And we'd need new (post New Caprica) versions of all the characters from the original set. None of the Pegasus characters need to be re-done, except Ellen Tigh as a Cylon Leader. Unless someone wants to make Cavil a bit less broken.

And, of course, some kind of reference to "The Plan" would be great. How about an all Cylon expansion? You could wage the Cylon civil war (which happened after "The Plan") or hunt for survivors on Caprica.

As for "Caprica," I think it's barely mediocre as a TV show and would not be much good as a game.
