Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game – Daybreak Expansion

About this expansion

Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game – Daybreak Expansion is a 2013 expansion for 3–7 players, with an approximately 180-minute play time, bringing humanity’s struggle to a gripping climax.

The Battlestar Galactica falters as humanity’s last beacon of hope, while fragile cooperation between humans and Cylons is tested by desperation and doubt. The Demetrius, guided by unknown forces, charts a course through the stars toward home—but not everyone supports this vision of the future.

Daybreak introduces new content designed around desperate decisions, uncertain loyalties, and the constant possibility of mutiny. Players can undertake desperate missions, while a new Mutineer card in the Loyalty deck can affect either a human or a Cylon.

The expansion includes a broad selection of new components:

• Two supplemental game boards
• Twelve new character sheets
• Thirty new Crisis cards
• Twenty-five new Skill cards
• A Mutineer card added to the Loyalty deck

Daybreak also adds Cylon Leaders driven by motives of their own, creating further uncertainty as the fleet struggles to survive. Their presence adds another layer to the expansion’s tense conflict between competing visions of humanity’s future.

For players seeking an alternative experience, The Search for Home is an optional Battlestar Galactica scenario included in the expansion. It features a new endgame and a new board for the Demetrius, the sewage processing ship that becomes the fleet’s best hope of salvation. Battlestar Galactica: Daybreak Expansion offers a dramatic new chapter for the desperate journey home.
