Board Game Geek Rating: 7.08. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 7.40. Suitable for 1 to 5 players and published in 2013. This is the Retail Edition of the Firefly: The Game board game. Players start with a ship and journey planet - to - planet. They hire crew, buy ship upgrades, and pick up cargo for delivery (jobs), all presented as cards.

You might encounter an Alliance ship, face a breakdown, or even meet Reavers. Completing jobs earns you cash, and the first player to meet the story goals wins. Based on the popular Firefly TV series by Joss Whedon, players command their own Firefly - class transport ship, traveling the 'Verse with a carefully - chosen crew. As a captain short of work, you'll take any paying job. Dealing with tricky employers, strict Alliance patrols, and marauding Reavers is all in a day's work. It's a high - end thematic tabletop board game from Gale Force Nine (GF9), the first in a series of Firefly - Universe tabletop hobby board and miniatures games.
