Unfathomable | Shelfside Review
603Fantasy Flight Games have remade the classic (but out of print) social deduction board game Battlestar Galactica as Unfathomable! Instead of cylons, it's lovecraft's Dagon and his Deep Ones, and all the cards and pieces have been rebranded to fit into the Arkham files world. Unfathomable promises streamlined gameplay all in one cardboard box by incorporating multiple elements from all of Battlestar Galactica's expansions. There's also numerous improvements to update BSG to today's standards. We're talking cleaner rules and rulebook, more mechanics and abilities, as well as awesome new components like the miniatures. Unfathomable is significantly less fiddly, board state and positioning is actually a thing now, and the game even works better at 4 or 6 players instead of just BSG's 5 players! However, like any long social deduction game, the random nature of them tends to offset the balance to be really swingy, even more so now that you're free to combo as much as you want with your two actions...
