I have some self-awareness. Now and then. Which is why I’m putting Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game at a solid place on this slideshow out of respect for the absolutely unhinged levels of preparation and absurd price tag. However, I would like it to be known that this game is fantastic, actually, if you’re willing to spend $400 for a game that takes at least three hours to play a single session, not including setup or breakdown. I love this game, I really do! It’s tactical and smartly designed and makes my brain bones steam. But… also… I dread having to explain this to anyone who is not on my level of board game nerdery. 6/10
