My husband and I had been wanting a good two-player game, so we were excited to find Firefly: The Game, as we both enjoyed the show. He joined Dicebreaker as editor-in-chief in 2019, and has been trying to convince the rest of the team to play Diplomacy since.

As you progress through the game, the kinds of upgrades and equipment you find will also change how you play. Its many features combine to make for a lot of exciting gameplay and fans of Firefly will find many of the quotes and gear amusing. I liked the nerdy RPG elements (gear / crew / missions) though I don't know the source material very well. There is also a greater chance of someone starting to fly to start a job early, putting pressure on everyone else to wrap up their mining and get started with working contracts.While there are games we have that are just as big to set up, this one feels massive because of all the decks to shuffle. Seriously, in the next couple sentences I will spoil the game for you, and give you the secret to winning. 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. Massive box includes everything ever made for the game, plus a new expansion and upgraded components.

The additional supply cards offer new resourceful crew members for hire and specialized gear to help you pull off the big scores. Named for the late Hoban Washburne and built on the newer Series IV Firefly chassis, the Jetwash befits its namesake: fast, with plenty of tricks up its sleeve. I cannot recommend this one enough, especially since it was a game that firmly placed my wife and I along the path to becoming serious about the board gaming hobby and proved to my wife that she can learn, and enjoy, long games with fairly complex rules.One of my isolation tasks is to learn the great games I have and in post isolation teach them to others. In addition to these power-ups, we've also introduced a new twist to the game by including permanent power-ups for some of the characters. Players will continue to venture around space, completing jobs, and earning money, until someone fulfills the game’s goal requirements (6 different scenarios are included in the game). That simply meant us all doing our own thing, trying to complete deliveries, or committing crimes as fast as possible. Gale Force 9's "Firefly The Game" is a product of a deep love for the ill-fated TV series and the 'Verse it was set in.
