After the Cylon attack on the Colonies, the battered remnants of the human race are on the run, constantly searching for the next signpost on the road to Earth. They face the threat of Cylon attack from without, and treachery and crisis from within. Humanity must work together if they are to have any hope of survival…but how can they, when any of them may, in fact, be a Cylon agent?
Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game is an exciting game of mistrust, intrigue, and the struggle for survival. Based on the epic and widely-acclaimed new Sci Fi Channel series, Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game puts players in the role of one of ten of their favorite characters from the show. Each playable character has their own abilities and weaknesses, and must all work together in order for humanity to have any hope of survival. However, one or more players in every game secretly side with the Cylons. Players must attempt to expose the traitor while fuel shortages, food contaminations, and political unrest threatens to tear the fleet apart.
Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game is a semi-cooperative game for 3-6 players ages 10 and up that can be played in 2-3 hours.

Includes two mats on one page for the President and Admiral titles with their associated resources. Title cards also include lines of succession, updated for Pegasus. This makes it relatively easy to transfer titles.
Printing:
Mat is 8.5x11 (~A4) and best printed with no zoom on 11x17 (~A3) paper. When printed, trim the edges. (This is a simple way to cheat full-colour bleed printing.) Cut the title mat down the middle to separate the titles.

Thanks to Typhon for the original idea, and to refinery for the graphical inspiration.

Includes one mat (split on two pages) to organize cards, ships and tokens.
There is no place for the agenda cards, as we keep loyalty and agenda cards separate from the draw piles to prevent catastrophic mistakes. In fact, we keep unused loyalty and agenda cards in the closed box during games, and the sleeper round loyalty cards are similarly 'protected'.
Cylon ships are represented by their DRADIS icons, and are labeled accordingly.
Pegasus-specific notes:
The "Centurion" spaces are used for both boarding parties and for occupation forces. Since the Crisis deck completely switches at the New Caprica phase, only one space has been provided for whichever Crisis deck is currently...
v1.0 - This describes how to use the PhotoShop files to create board summaries for the play-by-forum files. This is heavily geared toward PhotoShop, though other programs work as well.
Edit: Forgot to describe how to rotate resource dials:
Select the dial's layer and the move tool. In the top toolbar, check "Show Transform Controls". Then, click once on one on the handles of the frame that just appeared (don't drag it). The top toolbar has changed now, and it includes a rotation field. Type -22.5 there and click on the checkmark button. This decreases the resource by 1. Uncheck "Show Transform Controls".

Algunas notas de traducción: como Destination y Destiny ambos se traducirían literalmente como "Destino", elegí mantener Destino para Destiny, y usar Rumbos para Destination, que si bien no respeta el significado exacto, sí me parece que respeta la idea del mazo. Si existe una traducción oficial, y alguien la conoce, se agradecerá :)

Notes:
Had to use PDF since word file size became to large. If someone wants the doc file let me know.
This adds 21 cards to the original 16-card Quorum Deck, which means much more variety of presidential power and no more "cycling" the Quorum Deck.
We found that it was too easy to get the entire Quorum Deck into the hand of the President. And when the president has the entire deck in his hand, s/he can continuously play the most powerful cards over and over again (like "Authorization of Brutal Force"). To fix this, we added another 22 cards to the deck that have about the same average power/utility as the original 16. This way, it is much harder to draw the entire deck and it adds a lot of variety to the actions.
I just printed out the pages on cardstock and cut out the cards, sort of a "form over function" new Quorum Deck. If you manage to make something fancier, I would love to...
