Serious Strategy: Battlestar Galactica
OMi, 3135 N Broadway St,, Chicago, IL, USInterested in a board game meetup with a focus on games with deeper strategy and more replayability? Prefer spending your time diving into gameplay rather than learning new rules every session?
“Serious Strategy” is a meetup series designed for those who enjoy thoughtful, engaging games that reward repeated play. We focus on revisiting well-regarded strategy titles that offer depth and challenges not found in more casual or party-style games, offering the opportunity to match wits with other strategically-inclined players.
Four rules:
- Learn the game ahead of time (rulebook and/or videos will be provided)
- Respect your fellow gamers and the game (be timely and take the game seriously)
- Support the venue (order a drink or food from the cafe)
- Sign up here and on the Google Spreadsheet to reserve your slot (so we know which game you're playing)
This week's games:
Battlestar Galactica
The perfect synthesis of resource management and hidden roles, Battlestar Galactica is a semi-cooperative game of politics, tactics, and manipulation. Players are leaders of the last humans, fleeing from a robotic apocalypse, protecting the survivors from external threats and internal divisions. But two players are secretly cylon sleeper agents, programmed to believe they are human until a switch is flipped and the inevitable betrayal occurs...

How-to-Play Video
Minimum players: 5 (game will be cancelled if not enough signups)NOTE: Our venue has room for at least two larger-scale games, but I can only host one game at a time right now. If you'd like to host a second game at our meetup, let me know.
With a limited number of seats, no-shows are no fun - and may prevent us from playing at all - so those who no-show or cancel with less than 48 hours notice will be restricted in their ability to sign up in the future.
