The Verdict
based on 19 reviews
“Firefly the game, ah, now I do understand what people were were raving about this. It's a really good game per se even if you knew nothing about the show. If you know about the TV show then it's going to be even more pleasant for you.”(26:29)
“But if you have not played Firefly it is worth picking up the base game the base game alone is a very fun game it gets more fun with the more expansions that you add and this is the 10th anniversary edition is the most fun of all”(17:37)
“I love this game, very surprised that I like it. It's super thematic, like I said I haven't watched the show, um, but I love the interaction especially with the more players.”(21:41)
Ultimately, this game is more than just a pastime; it’s a vessel for boundless adventure and spirited camaraderie.
“If you're a Firefly fan, it's a great jumping in point. And I think another thing that we, this should be applauded for is we've seen many copyrighted games, many some rush, some okay.”(23:34)
“Anyway, it’s great and you should get it, regardless of how familiar (or unfamiliar) you are with Malcolm Reynolds and his lovable band of miscreants.”
“Oh, so much, I adore this game, totally adore it. It was probably my favorite game for years. I mean, I've never done an actual ranking, but I would say this is in my top five, maybe my top 10 at the, the least. I love this game.”(12:06)
“Firefly: The Game can almost be called a love letter to the Browncoat. The game is incredibly thematic (nominated for our 2013 Thematic game award), easy to learn, and a must play for any fan of the show.”
“This game for me fills the niche that Arkham Horror does for a lot of other people, where it's an experience game first. It's about immersion in the theme, it's about immersion in the atmosphere in the setting. As Joanna said, it does that fantastically.”(7:38)
“However, Firefly: The Game does such an amazing job of capturing the feel of the series. I'd argue that it does the best job of any game based on an existing franchise.”
“This game is HIGHLY thematic and knowledge of the Firefly universe, Firefly: The Game is a must. I can see this being an average 'Pick up and Deliver' game to non-Firefly fans but I love it.”
“Firefly has a lot of randomness in it, so some players won’t like it. But if you call yourself a browncoat, the game absolutely drips flavor and provides a meaty gaming experience.”
