Passing Loyalty cards

By hav0k, in Battlestar Galactica

Hi

A case came up where Baltar got 2 cylon cards at startup and stayed unrevealed until the sleeper agent pahse, where he got the sympathizer.

This will make him a "powered down" cylon, but he can got to the resurrection ship to give his other 2 cards to other players.

I dont remember the rules right now, but I am not sure if the Resurrection ship makes the player give ALL the loyalty cards to the same player. Or can he go to that localtion once to give just ONE, and in another turn give the other to another player, making them both cylons? Or can he in the same turn give one card to a player and the other to another?

How does this work?

Thanks

You give all your unrevealed loyalty cards to a single player.

This is clarified in the FAQ.

Wow, that's some pretty wierd luck!

But yeah, you give ALL of your unrevealed Loyalty cards to another player. Though then once that dude reveals one of them he could then use the location to send the third one to someone.

There is an even more strange varient which came up in our game: 4 player game, I was cylon and I was uncovered quite fast so I chose to reveal before the sleeper agent phase.

Sleeper agent phase came and I ended up with the sympathiser card as a revealed cylon. It had to be shown immediately, according to the text on the card so it can't be given away by the 'Resurrection Ship' location. And according to the rulebook (it is even in the special reminder section in it) revealed cylons _do_ get a loyalty card in the sleeper agent phase. So I ended up alone, being a cylon and as an useless sympathiser.

Were we right on this? Or the sympathiser card can be given away by an already revealed cylon to some other player?

Rules say a revealed cylon may immediately pass it on to another player.

Yeah, if you are a revealed Cylon and you get the sympathizer, you immediately choose a different player to give it to.
