I had heard many great things about the series. From there I was hooked. I became one of the many late fans that wondered why the show never got a second season. Firefly has gone on to heavily influence me.
You can see it in my writing. A reader once told me she saw the cover of my first book from across a book fair and immediately thought of Captain Mal. It has gone on to influence my gaming. That essence is not unique to Firefly but it has a pretty distinctive flavor of it. It has even influenced my take on other media. I fell in love with Star Wars: Rebels in no small part because of the Firefly ish feel of the Ghost crew.
But I did pick up the board game a little while back. The game comes with several small plastic space ship models. The pieces are reasonably detailed though are all just a single color. You get an Alliance Cruiser, Reaver cutter and several Firefly class player ships. The Alliance ship, due to the nature of its tall spires, is not particularly sturdy. One of the spires broke off almost immediately. But that said, they are all pretty nice for what you get.
You get a thick stack of money in multiple denominations that are modeled after the money used in the show. And I do mean thick. These bills are not your flimsy Monopoly dollars. Each one feels like it could be genuine currency. These are really quite well done.
The board is sturdy and distinctive. The game really shines in its ability to capture the feel of Firefly. The core gameplay involves struggling to stay afloat, gathering a crew to help you and avoid any Alliance entanglements. You start out with a ship, a little bit of cash and the open sky.
From there you decide how to complete your objectives. Along the way, you can stop at many of the locales from the show and pick up missions from colorful characters or go shopping for spiffy upgrades. Shopping is where you pick up new crew along with new gear.
All of the Firefly characters are available as crew, except Mal who is one of the captains. Firefly fans are going to love this Firefly Monopoly game. This version of the property trading game features the big damn heroes of Firefly.

I say think of it as a Risk type game you leave up for three hours and take a break from at some point. It takes a while to ramp up building money and crew but once you get going it draws you in. UH: Agents of S. Some say by a lot. Others say it now bears watching. Me, I found the 1st season to be reasonably enjoyable, especially after the Captain America tie-in.
Season 2 started off a bit shaky then took off with a bang. I think that early first season they were coasting on the whole Agents of S. They soon learned their mistake. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
