About the game

What is Firefly: The Game – 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition?

In Firefly: The Game – based on the popular Firefly television series created by Joss Whedon – players captain their own Firefly-class transport ship, travelling the 'Verse with a handpicked crew of fighters, mechanics, and other passengers. 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. Players begin with a ship, and travel from planet to planet, hiring crew, purchasing ship upgrades, and picking up cargo to deliver (jobs) all in the form of cards. Some crew and cargo are illegal, and can be confiscated if your ship is boarded by an Alliance vessel. Traveling from planet to planet requires turning over "full burn" cards, one for each space moved. Most do nothing, but you can also encounter an Alliance ship, have a breakdown, or even run into Reavers. Completing jobs gets you cash. First player to complete the story goals wins! Firefly: The Game – 10th Anniversary Collector's Edition is the whole 'Verse in a box. Containing every expansion ever made in a single container, along with a new Still Flying expansion, this collection features upgraded components such as: — 15 hand-painted resin ships — Enamel metal first-player dinosaur token — Complete rulebook — Custom made multi-piece storage solution — Over 1,000 cards (including every promo card ever made) — Neoprene mat with a stitched edge of the whole 'Verse.
