Product Information

We ourselves play many board games for two people, but we also have large gaming groups in which we regularly bring the latest board games to the table. Because you absolutely have to come to a full stop for the Cruiser whenever you’re classified as an outlaw this gives other players the chance to ruin your day by putting the Cruiser directly in your path. A Misbehave card presents two options to you for when you have a Merc in your crew, but doesn’t explain what to do if you don’t have one present. Gaining an understanding of where you can expect to find certain equipment and crew, of exactly what kinds of jobs contacts offer and the ins and outs of the two different nav decks, increases your enjoyment of the game considerably as you can began to formulate slightly more complex plans, although obviously luck will still play an important part.

A turn consists of four Actions, and whenever you take a Fly Action the turn is over and a Disgruntled token removed. It also enables a player who loses crew members to still have a chance, with a lucky draw or roll, to pull off an upset from time to time. Of course this will annoy them, but they are receptive to convincing arguments and if all this doesn’t help, they should get off the boat. Firefly: The Game is a game designed by Aaron Dill, John Kovaleski, and Sean Sweigart and is published by Gale Force Nine, LLC. By default everyone can “mosey along”, moving through a single sector of space with absolutely no risk involved, but of course this is a rather slow and when you’ve got jobs piling up time really is money.If you are a fan of the show, it might be worth checking out, but be sure to know what you’re getting into. Harkin tends to be only good as a first job before hiring any crew, and even then only if it is a one-stop job close to where you start. A crew has a need to be balanced, with some people who can shore up those weaker areas, yet all ships inevitably have their preferred approach. As mentioned above, we even went back down to just the base game for a while and found it was still a really solid, fun experience. One small disappointment does stem from the fact that while the game’s designers were able to secure the license for the Firefly TV show, they were unable to procure the rights to the follow-up film Serenity, which is owned by Universal.

Made from polypropolyne soft rubber the items that came with mine are malformed and damaged very badly. Much like the sheer physical size Firefly can also take up a considerable amount of your time until you can learn how to cut corners and speed up player turns.Having recently played Star Wars: Outer Rim (Fantasy Flight Games, 2019) it is inevitable to make comparisons between these “space western” games.

Story cards provide narrative context, or at least an excuse to qoute the show and wave a toy pistol around. I was actually surprised at how much I still could enjoy going back to just the base game on this one. Of course you can be this law-abiding guy who picks up passengers on Londinium, then sneaks them through the Verse, only to let them off again in Persephone. Most do nothing, but you can also encounter an Alliance ship, have a breakdown, or even run into Reavers. Dangerous, high-paying work usually require some ‘thrillin heroics by having you flip over some cards from the aptly named Misbehave deck.Join the community and come discuss games like Codenames, Wingspan, Brass, and all your other favorite games!
