This can be avoided by “moseying” only one space on your turn, but if you did that all the time someone else would win the game before you completed your first job. In Firefly: The Game based on the popular Firefly television series created by Joss Whedon players captain their own Firefly-class transport ship, traveling the 'Verse with a handpicked crew of fighters, mechanics and other travelers. My favorite experiences are the ones where you need to visit several contacts and to mine through several locations to really build that all-around crew. For example, the rules state that in a situation where your captain would be killed you simply place a Disgruntled token on him/her instead, yet it never makes it clear whether you can choose to have your leader “killed” over another crew member. This, however, does leave at something of an impasse in considering how those unfamiliar with the license will feel about the game.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. So the profit for the job can be used up very quickly and in the end there is not much left if you take too many people with you to be on the safe side.

Regardless of whether the rules do or do not work within the context of the game, every mechanic fits in beautifully with the themes of the show and the designers have gone to great lengths to slip as many little references and details into the game as they can, from Jayne’s cunning hat to Misbehave cards using qoutes from the show.Because Misbehave cards are randomly drawn there’s a fairly large element of luck that encourages you to keep a well-rounded crew aboard ship and to seriously consider investing heavily in a variety of equipment, be it explosives, sniper rifles or fake ID, but generally speaking the Misbehave cards aren’t too harsh in their requirements or their penalties, so frustration is kept to a minimum. By and large, Moral Crew are superior to the rest in terms of their powers, but you need to be discerning about the Jobs you undertake with them.

Even within a single story card, the game can play very different based upon how you build your crew and the contracts you pull from the deck early in the game. Should you find yourself involved in an absolutely immoral job any crew members listed as being moral become Disgruntled. If you want to spend a couple of hours adventuring and don’t want to agonize over tough decisions, this is the game for you. That being said, this review is going to focus solely on the base game, so no expansions being considered.The game board is thick and looks lovely, while the ship models that you’ll be using are nicely detailed replicas, although more dedicated fans might wish to break out some model paint and give them a quick sprucing up for some added authenticity. But even if you only ever owned the base game, you could get a lot of plays out of this one before it could begin to wear out its welcome. Gamers who enjoy a pick-up and deliver mechanism will certainly find some things they love about this game, and anyone who enjoys a sci-fi theme should have a fun experience as well, so long as they understand there isn’t any direct conflict with the other players.
