Sci Fi
"Fantasy is the impossible made probable, Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.” – Rod Sterling. Science Fiction gives us a unique way to express and examine core philosophical beliefs and theories in the human experience. The Battle Star Galactica board game is a great example of making the improbable possible, creating global destruction, examining different philosophical beliefs and approaches to life setting up futuristic but probable technologies and showing different possible outcome to political structures in the different times, alternate universes, different planets all of which are important criteria for science fiction.
The full spectrums of human emotions are put in extreme situations during the game to help to create an enjoyable yet extremely nerve-racking learning experience.

All The characters in the novel all started out as basically ordinary people put in extraordinary situation, which is another criteria for a good science fiction. Although the characters were for the most part ordinary they all had a specific skill set specially assigned to them just like in the Battle Star Galactica board game. When playing the game
