The Game


Babylon 5 was an incredible science fiction TV series that first aired in the late 90s. It had 5 successful seasons, several TV movies and a spin off series, Crusade. The series centered around the ambassadors of 4 major galactic powers, the "space UN" headquarters (space station: Babylon 5), and the men and women who ran this diverse city in space.

The CCG allows 3-7 players to recreate and retell their own possible Babylon 5 saga by allowing each person to either take on the role of one of the major political powers (either via their ambassador to B5 or their home faction) and attempt to dominate the other factions using diplomacy, intrigue, military, or access to fearful and deadly ancient powers. With several expansions, the CCG really is one of the best (if not the best) war/intrigue games ever made.

Babylon 5 CCG AWOLs


Only 187 cards missing now:

Premier: 8
Shadows: 15
Great War: 22
Deluxe: 2
Psi Corps: 53
Severed Dreams: 26
Wheel of Fire: 32
Crusade: 29

I finally have every Narn card and every techno-mage (fleet or character), so that's fun.  It just amazes me that Psi Corp is the expansion that one cannot find any boosters for anywhere.  I've also got the sneaky feeling that I probably have 10 of the missing cards, I just haven't counted/filed them correctly.

Argh! the Psi Corps cards, so tough to get at any reasonable cost. Anyone wanting to sell an Emperor Mollari, let me know about it.  Here's some B5 mod action:

    I vaguely recall Psi-corps being a smaller print run than normal that sold out completely, hence the difficulty in finding cards.

    If you're still missing any of the stuff from Deluxe, Shadows, or Great War, I can, in all likelihood, help you out.
