Firefly: the Game
Firefly: the Game
Fans of Joss Whedon's short-lived TV series, Firefly*, will not be disappointed in this game. It succeeds in capturing the free-wheeling, cowboy spirit of the show and has room for many of the characters and incidents that made it memorable.
If you're not familiar with Firefly, the game is still an entertaining challenge as you captain your 'general transport' spaceship from planet to planet, collecting passengers and cargo, taking on odd jobs (not all of them legal) and occasionally tangling with the law. Or, worse, tangling with those outside the law!
The game has several scenarios, each giving players a different set of goals, so there is plenty of variety in what you're doing. Large decks of cards – for crew members, equipment, jobs – add to the variety and give the game plenty of replay value.
* Yep, I'm one of them.
The standard edition is for 1-4 players, aged 13+, playing time 2-4 hours
Firefly: the Game was designed by Aaron Dill, John Kovaleski and Sean Sweigart and is published by Gale Force Nine.
