Most egregious of all is a card in the misbehavin’ pile that only allows you to succeed if you have River Tam as part of your crew. A better crew and equipment will make this easier but a good crew is expensive so you’ll have to balance the money you spend and the money you might need for the end game goal. Just like the experience of the Serenity’s crew, the game is full of unpredictability you never know when you’re going to bump into an Alliance patrol or worse, reavers!

Most illegal jobs will require a player to “aim to misbehave”, this usually requires a set of skill checks. Way back in 2002, one of the world’s favorite directors, Joss Whedon, introduced a new sci-fi world to viewers across the globe.Firefly, the popular Fox television series created by Joss Whedon, comes to life in a new boardgame from Gale Force Nine. As you move through the board, you’ll draw cards that present unique challenges for you and your team to address.

The problem is that if the cards don’t go your way and you find yourself without a crew, money, or prospects, you’re not going to have a very good time slowly building yourself up while someone else eventually wins the game. Some jobs will have requirements (fake ID, explosives, etc…) that players will need to procure before they can attempt the job.

One of the games we recently discovered (even though it’s not new by any means) is the Firefly Board Game.

Additionally, as you travel further into the game, you’ll also risk encountering Reavers, which present an entirely different kind of danger. Don’t get me wrong, Firefly is a great game, but part of my enjoyment of it comes from my love of the TV show. If you’re not a huge Firefly fan, then the game is still fun and worth a play, but it’s probably not going to blow your mind. While, yes, the Firefly license defiantly helps sell this game, overall Firefly is a well-designed game that’s also a lot of fun. However, if you want more player interaction then you’ll love the ‘Pirates and Bounty Hunters’ expansion where you can get bounties for your opponent’s crew, battling and boarding!Firefly: The Game is a high-end thematic tabletop boardgame 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. But every Firefly fan knows how important it is being shiny, so picking up a few of these can really pimp out your game. One of the best touches in the game is that a roll of 6 always “explodes”, which lets you roll again and add the new number also to your total. If you are a fan of the show, it might be worth checking out, but be sure to know what you’re getting into. The board on its own is quite large and then you need space around the board for all the different decks of cards.
