About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to supercharge your Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game experience! The Pegasus expansion injects more action and drama onto your table, adding two new modular game boards: one for the formidable Battlestar Pegasus and another for the troubled planet New Caprica. This allows you to customize the game as you wish, whether by adding the extra firepower of the Pegasus or diving into the rebellion on New Caprica for an epic level of challenge.
Seven new characters enter the fray, and the expansion introduces the Cylon Leader archetype, a player type with their own secret motivations and a new type of Treachery Skill Card, perfect for sabotaging humanity's struggle for survival. Things get even tenser with new Destination, Crisis, Loyalty, and Super Crisis cards, ensuring every game is unpredictable.
New rules bring the possibility of playing with the new Traitor mechanic, where one player might be secretly working against everyone. The expansion also adds two new plastic Basestars to increase the Cylon threat. If you're a fan of the series and crave more depth, moral conflict, and twists worthy of a TV episode, the Pegasus expansion is essential. It expands the base game, increasing replayability and immersion in the tense Battlestar Galactica universe.
