Game description from the publisher:

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. As a captain desperate for work, players are compelled to take on any job — so long as it pays. Double-dealing employers, heavy-handed Alliance patrols, and marauding Reavers are all in a day's work for a ship's captain at the edge of the 'Verse. 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.

Entretenido a más no poder. Partidas de 4 horas y ni te enteras

Uno de los mejores ameritrash que he probado, de los más temáticos donde sientes como estás jugando identificándote con las aventuras de la serie, en la posición de capitán de una nave Firefly. Dos acciones por jugador en el turno, que no se pueden repetir: volar, comprar tripulantes/equipo, conseguir nuevas misiones, realizar trabajos. Elección de objetivos finales de la partida, decenas de cartas de tripulantes, equipamiento nave/tripulantes, mejoras de la nave, etc. Tensión por el crucero de la alianza y por la nave de los reavers. En definitiva mucha variedad e inmersión en un juego carga
