Explained simply
Battlestar Galactica is a science-fiction franchise best known for a 2003 television series about humans fleeing the destruction of their home worlds aboard a fleet of spaceships. The story centres on the survivors’ struggle to stay safe and decide whom they can trust.
The board game, first released in 2008 by Fantasy Flight Games, adapted the series into a game of cooperation and suspicion. Players take on roles in the fleet, with some secretly working against the others; designer Corey Konieczka’s game later received three expansions.
A new edition would bring the franchise back in tabletop form, while the future of a television or film revival remains uncertain. Its planned Kickstarter campaign would let the company seek public backing for the updated game.
