Question
I recently played the new Battlestar Galactica board game. Each player gets a character token that has a little plastic stand so that it stands upright as you move it to different spots on the board.

I know I played a game that used similar stands and character tokens when I was a child (likely sometime in the 80's) but I can't remember what name of the game was or even what it involved.

I know that's not a lot to go on but it's driving me crazy so I thought I would try asking. Thanks

Answer
Greetings Maria,

A similar game to Battlestar Gallactica is Twilight Imperium and/or Cosmic Encounter.   Try those two at these links and see if one may be the game you are thinking of:
