My playgroup often tends to craft our own home rules for every board game we play. We've discovered BSG pretty recently and now examining all situations that Core game could provide. I know it will take some time, but I've already got Pegasus and considered buying Exodus. I just couldn't wait and done some "research" of community ideas for home rules, modes and variants.

And I've got strange impression that almost no one liked new caprica variant. "Just play with Pegasus and Kobol." - that is the most common opinion.

To me, it feel like a loss and I really don't want to trash that caprica board, but to have some use of it. So my question is - do you have any home rules that makes New Caprica more interesting? Feel free to share any interesting variant.

First off, when centurions get to the end, they should destroy a ship from the prepared stack, not the locked one. This changes one of the primary cylon "threats" on NC from doing the human's job for them to doing something marginally harmful to the humans.

Check out the link in my signature for Pegasus: Razor Cut. It contains a whole new way of playing New Caprica.

The biggest improvement you can make is to leave the Pegasus box shut and go get Exodus. Seriously, it's that much better! (There are a few things worth using from Pegasus, as discussed elsewhere on this board.)
