What this is
How can the human race survive when they don't know who is actually human. Players need to play matching skill cards to fend off the problems; skill cards that don't match hinder the players success. As players get closer and closer towards reaching their Earth, another round of loyalty cards are passed out and more Cylons may turn up.
