Firefly Board Game

Product Information

Each expansion brings new content into the game, but mostly also “fix” something in the base game. This overview is from a huge fan of the show and game: I think the game is great. If you’re still doubting about it, try to play it somewhere and then buy it. Its somewhat complicated for beginners and usually takes like 3-5 hours. So if you only like short games this is not for you. But for others its great and the available expansions add more cool stuff to this great game 😉 The end game goals can vary from getting a certain sum of money or completing a big ‘misbehaving’ mission. This offers a nice variety dependent on your of your group’s preferred playstyle.

Over a decade ago, a little known TV show premiered on the FOX network called Firefly. As any fan of the show (Browncoats as they are known) can attest to, this sci-fi/western TV show was completely mismanaged by the network until it was canceled halfway through its first season. To say the show has gone on to become a cult hit would be a gross understatement. Firefly has spawned a loyal following of Browncoats that any TV show on the air now would be drooling to have. Once you get a great crew together in the game, Misbehaving and completing jobs becomes very simple and has low/zero risk. This expansion changes that alright! More (and tougher) misbehaves and nicer rewards make this a very important late game expansion. Deal: Deal cards work similar to the buy action. Instead of getting just equipment and crew, you also take on jobs. There are five different kinds of contracts to choose from, ranging from safe but low paying, to dangerous but lucrative.Its My Turn and Ill Take as Long as I Want T-Shirt, T Shirt for Gaming, Board Game Lover TShirt, Funny Gaming Shirt, Game Night Tee New ship. The longer burn range makes it much stronger than the other starter ships. Comes in some versions of the base game. Lorcana Playmat with Zones, Spellbook Themed Card Playmat, Unofficial Lorcana Playmat, Gifts for Gamers As you might expect, the most lucrative jobs will require players to misbehave from time to time and go against the law. You can win while following the law of course – however, that might not be as much fun.

Hauling things around the universe makes sense in the game too. As you play, each player will take on the role of captain of their ship, hiring crew, equipping them with tools, and making decisions about which contracts to take, and which to abandon. To be honest, I don’t have a lot of problems with the game. There are a number of different missions you can do, so if you don’t like a game of “just get money” there are other missions where you have to complete specific objectives. As wonderful as it is, the Firefly board game was designed specifically for one niche group of fans – people who love Firefly. In 2002, director Joss Whedon, introduced sci fi fans to Firefly. Named after an in-show class of spaceship, this excellent series lasted only 14 episodes before it was cancelled by Fox. Firefly the Game drags tabletop gaming firmly into the Firefly universe. Well-themed, and cleverly implemented, it places you in the Captain’s seat of your very own Firefly and sends you out into the ‘verse. Firefly: The Game isn’t the first board game based on a TV show we’ve reviewed here on Board Game Quest. A while ago we took a look at the Battlestar Galactica board game (spoiler alert: it’s phenomenal) and were able to state that you don’t have to be a fan of the show to love the board game. Does Firefly fall into the same mold? I’d say yes, but not as strongly.Stay ‘shiny’ Firefly fans! ‘ Firefly: The Board Game’ is here to fill the hole in your heart left by the series. Firefly is a game that is dripping in theme, matching the tone of the show well and dropping in plenty of easter eggs and references to keep even the most hardcore fans appeased.

Hauling stuff is good, but is it shiny? There’s more than enough tokens in the game, so The Whole Damn Verse playmat, the Shiny Token Set and Big Money The game is fairly weighty for a TV show tie-in. It has a complexity rating of 2.95 out of 5 on Board Game Geek so comfortably in the medium weight category. There are a fair few mechanics to work around that can feel a bit overwhelming at first but once you’re used to how the game works then it will become second nature. Size & Scale Hey everyone, reading your comments it seems to me like the makers of this game need to do some tweeking. Kind of like what the 2nd edition of War Of The Ring is to the 1st edition. Where in my opinion the first edition it was easier to win as the free people where as the 2nd edition made it more even.Firefly boasts a range of expansions to add even more to your game. The great thing about this game is that the expansions can be added depending on what you want to add to your game. ‘Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!’ – Hoban ‘Wash’ Washbourne
