If you are a human why the heck would you check which of your two 'You are not a cylon' cards was looked at ? In a game where the humans are up against the wall from turn 1, they need all the help they can in weeding out the cylons. All you guys obviously play it far too nice or no one is thinking about it too much - humans in our games watch for any little sign of cylon behaviour, and a player making an effort to check which loyalty card was seen will be brigged next urn.

Brian, I understood what you said. All I can say is that you will be removing a helping clue for the humans from the game (see paragraph above) as well as the tension/suspicion this can create - which is what this game is all about. This game is not Settlers or Arkham or Memoir - every game is different and you probably do somethings a little differently in each of them. For your groups 'custom' of fanning cards in front of your eyes to see which is selected - this is fine for the removal of skill cards (by a cylon or a random discard), but if you did it for the loyalty cards in any of the different groups that play BSG in our club you would be in the brig the following turn .

Then everyone would be in the brig everytime it happened.

To each their own. I believe we beat this dead horse enough.....

I agree with Brian.

It's the same as everyone looking at the Loyalty cards for a while in the beginning of the game.

Only the cylons ..... and the stupid players . Why would I want to see which card was chosen when I know both of them are 'Not a Cylon' .

No, everyone is doing this because, on some level, they've all agreed to do it. They've decided that when they are a Cylon, they want to be able to know whether someone else knows that they are a Cylon. So no matter what, when this happens, they've agreed to look at the cards.

This is similar to spending like a minute looking at your loyalty cards at the beginning and middle of the game.
