Product Information

At the start of the game one of the available story cards is selected either at random or by deliberation, providing you with narrative context for the rest of the game.

In this state rival captains can actively hire a crew member from you by simply paying their listed fee, and should any crew member receive a second Disgruntled token they will abandon you immediately, appearing back in their appropriate supply deck for re-hire.The game is always worth the time spent setting it up, but there are also times when it gets passed over for something with less time invested in getting started. Preset crew issues: First off, there's a limited number of Scrapper Pilots, but that probably won't be an issue unless you have a huge number of players.

Going back to Harken, for example, becoming solid with him allows you to complete ignore Customs Inspection Nav cards when travelling through Alliance space, essentially nullifying two out of three of the more dangerous cards within the deck, while staying friendly with Amnon Duul lets you load up on passengers at fugitives at the Space Bazaar. Scattered around the ‘verse are five different contacts who provide the various jobs you undertake, each one tending to specialise in certain styles of work over the others. 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.

Story cards provide narrative context, or at least an excuse to qoute the show and wave a toy pistol around.

Another potential flaw worth mentioning is that Firefly: The board game takes up a considerable amount of space, so much, in fact, that it doesn’t even fit on the table in my dining room.This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to.

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. 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. At the beginning you are alone on your big ship, with a little starting capital and a tank filling, now a whole universe is waiting for you to be explored. I think we also need to look at a way to hold the tokens other than baggies, as that might help with its ease of use during actual gameplay.

While the better player will usually win, it helps to balance the game as well because you simply cannot carry everything needed to mitigate every risk. Seeing this different strategies play out as I carefully plan and execute my own was rather satisfying.
