Product Information

Get solid with Harken and you’ll avoid all but the cruiser’s card itself, or carry a Cry Baby on your ship. If you begin your next turn in the same sector with the Cruiser or Corvette, you may move normally, you are not stopped twice.

Some jobs require you to get your hands dirty and skirt around the watchful eye of the Alliance, while other jobs merely require you to stop on a planet and take care of business at that one destination.

There is some sense of luck involved, both in the flipping of cards while flying through the ‘Verse and in the roll of a dice while completing cards from the Misbehave deck, but many of those can be mitigated with the right combination of crew, ship upgrades, and items. For the most part the element of chance works well in conjunction with the other mechanics, and choosing to tool up can help minimise the risks, but there are a few brutal cards located within the game that can deal major blows, setting players back quite a bit, and in some cases effectively taking them out of contention.

If you draw an encounter card while doing a full burn and you need to Evade, that ends your movement. So much time in this game is spent moving a space, pulling a card that says “continue”, moving another space, another uneventful card, another space, another card, etc etc etc. A joyous union of board game and brilliant TV show, Firefly: The Board Game manages to hit all the marks.

Yet I’ve also had my share of them go my way and help me sneak in a victory against my wife, who is easily the better Firefly player of the two of us. To complete the goals listed you’re going to need cash, a skilled crew to pull it all off and perhaps even some fancy gear to help you get out of a tight situation. While it certainly looks pretty enough the rule-book doesn’t offer the most intuitive layout, and there are several rules within the pages, and listed on cards in the game itself, which can leave you at a loss, either through a lack of detail or vague wording. There is nothing that can be done here about the size or the components, but it illustrates the challenges of taking a full size, multi-player game and using it for a single solo player.

They mention that the missions are interesting and provide a wider range of approaches to the missions. It is far from feeling like a fiddly game most of the time, but there are a lot of things that go into both the set-up and the gameplay. Made from polypropolyne soft rubber the items that came with mine are malformed and damaged very badly. Some people might complain about the low level of player interaction, even though it is never an issue for me. Should you find yourself involved in an absolutely immoral job any crew members listed as being moral become Disgruntled.

Most games with two end up being very close, with both players racing to get that third goal token or being awfully close to that number of required credits. It also enables a player who loses crew members to still have a chance, with a lucky draw or roll, to pull off an upset from time to time.
