In the Firefly board game based on the popular Firefly television series
created by Joss Whedon – players captain their own Firefly-class transport
ship, travelling the 'Verse with a handpicked crew of fighters, mechanics and
other travellers. As a captain desperate for work, players are compelled to take
on any job – so long as it pays.
Double-dealing employers, heavy-handed Alliance patrols and marauding Reavers
are all in a day's work for a ship's captain at the edge of the 'Verse.
Firefly: The Game is a high-end thematic tabletop board game from Gale Force
Nine (GF9) and the first in a series of tabletop hobby board games and
miniatures games from GF9 set in the Firefly Universe.
Players begin with a ship, and travel from planet to planet, hiring crew,
purchasing ship upgrades, and picking up cargo to deliver (jobs) all in the form
of cards. Some crew and cargo are illegal and can be confiscated if your ship is
boarded by an alliance vessel. Travelling from planet to planet requires turning
over “full burn” cards, one for each space moved. Most do nothing, but you
can also encounter an Alliance ship, have a breakdown, or even run into Reavers.
Completing jobs gets you cash. The first player to complete the story
goals wins.
