Product Information

This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to. 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. At any time you’re allowed to examine a contact’s discard pile which is formed of jobs that other players have refused to take. 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. As a concession, however, I would recommend that if you have no experience with the license or interest in it take a full point of the final score.

My daughter and I LOVE The Game and I want to love Adventures too but I'm genuinely exhausted from trying to understand the ridiculous instructions. As such even casual gamers should be able to get to grips with essentials pretty quickly, which is a big plus for fans of the TV show who are simply interested on getting their hands on another part of the expanded Whedon universe.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.

The board on its own is quite large and then you need space around the board for all the different decks of cards. 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. Successfully work a job for a contact and you’ll become “solid” with them, which offers up enticing bonuses and also enables you to sell contraband and cargo directly to them, should you find yourself in possession of it. The game is always worth the time spent setting it up, but there are also times when it gets passed over for something with less time invested in getting started.As mentioned above, we even went back down to just the base game for a while and found it was still a really solid, fun experience. A Walking Dead Monopoly still remains a Monopoly under the hood, and a Game of Thrones Catan remains a Catan in the end. 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. That whole damn ‘verse is depicted on a new neoprene mat, with custom ship dice also among the upgrades.
