Gale Force Nine Reveal Firefly: The Game! Shiny!
February 12, 2013 by brennon
We knew something was coming to do with Firefly but we didn't know it would be this soon! Gale Force Nine yesterday announced that they would be piloting Firefly: The Game which is due out in Autumn...
"In Firefly: The Game, 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). It will be the first in a series of tabletop hobby boardgames and miniatures games from GF9 set in the Firefly Universe."

This can only be a good thing and considering how well Spartacus was received we have a good pedigree working on this game.
Maybe this game is being created in line with ToyVault, because last time we heard anything they were making games in this universe.
What do you think of this news?
Good news! so that is now toyvault and GF9 that have been given the licence, buy all the games!
Buy this – or I’ll get the chain of command*
* You know what the chain of command is? It’s the chain I go get and beat you with ’til ya understand who’s in ruttin’ command here.
Time to get my coat of a brownish color.
Oh yes. That is all. 🙂
Looking good. This better come with a brown coat so we can feel like we’re truly in the game 🙂
Taking bets on a one off special limited edition run with the brown coat… 🙂

I’d rather it came with a life size cut out of Morena Baccarin. Giggidy! 🙂
O Joy !
This better be good or I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you!
despite all the hype on this thread, I have to say I have never heard of Firefly. 🙁 It looks a bit like BSG or SG. would I be correct in this assumption? or does it have a different edge to it like Eastenders in space? 😛 hehe
think wild west in space, with a brother and sister running from the “Evil Empire” by hiding on board a rogue trader, hijinks ensue… 🙂

OO sounds promising, might have to watch a few episodes via t’internet 🙂 Thanks Justin, now I have to decide how many of the copious new board games I am gonna get, hehe. Board looks nice clean and simple, which can be a huge boost to the NEED appeal. It does look very Spartacus, in terms of overall game layout and seems like similar game play to, but in space. So should be good. However, I will be trying to get a few 1+ player ones in order for a different video-gaming-like experience. Found some of the old choose your… Read more »
lol bloody hell man I’m not that old… 🙂 and yea the game looks epic cant wait to see what happens with it, I just wonder if we can poke GF9 in to sending us a beta copy to playtest and film a little Battlefield Autopsy for before release… 🙂

Awesome idea matey would look forward to it!!! would you be so kind as to pit it against other “like” games to?
I’d like to think I’m not that old to, but i remember those day you cheeky little rug rat!! But you have to admit it, you do look a bit like Seasick Steve with that beard, LOL 😀
Get the boxset for a tenner, it’s well worth it. The stand-out thing with the show was that everyone involved in making it, clearly loved it, and that comes across well on screen.
So pissed that it was canned because Fox had a retarded dislike of Joss Whedon.
Of course the show isn’t going to get viewers if you keep changing the day it’s on and showing it at stupid oclock at night.
A man walks down the street with a hat like that, people know he’s not afraid of anything.
My days of not quoting Firefly are certainly comin’ to a middle.
Looking forward to trying this out. Until then .. Merchants of Venus anyone??
Now that does look shiney. Very shiney indeed.
It will be mine, no power in the ‘verse can stop me
