revealed cylon skill check contribution?

By Camacho2, in Battlestar Galactica

Playing vanila BSG:

In my group we have always played with revealed cylons contributing no more than 1 card in skill check just like the way they would if they were in the brig.

I was just going over the rulebook and on page 20 i noticed "Revealed Cylon players [...] play one (and only one) Skill Card into each skill check that is resolved". English is not my native language, but doesnt the quote mean that our way of revealed-cylon-contribution is wrong, and that the correct way of doing it is:

- all humans take turn contributing

- the skill cards are turned around and the numbers are added up

- then the revealed cylons get to add one card each if they so desire - and therby knowing if their decision will change the outcome of the skill check

fast responses are welcome, since we are starting a new game in 30 minuttes :D

You were doing it correctly before. Revealed Cylons, just like other players, play facedown in clockwise order, just like humans and nonrevealed Cylons, the only difference being that they can only play one card.

I think they wanted to make sure that people reading the rules weren't skipping the part where cylons only get to put in one card. I think you can understand what it would be like if people didn't see that and cylons could add as many cards as they wanted to.

Not really applicable in this case, but, given the wording on some of the cards in Exodus , the proper order should be (unless I've read something wrong):

  1. Put cards in
  2. Shuffle and reveal all cards
  3. Check for any "(Reckless) Skill Check" cards and resolve
  4. Tally total amount
