Thought this may be of some interest to some people here:

Firefly The Game ~ FALL 2013

Firefly: The Game – based on the popular Firefly television series created by Joss Whedon – 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) and the first in a series of tabletop hobby board games and miniatures games from GF9 set in the Firefly Universe.

Up to 4 players
Ages 13+
2 Hours

I wonder if its actually a good game. Games from other licenses usually have a bad track record.

Ramplate · 05-20-2013, 05:23 PM

Looks like it's not the only one coming - they plan to put out more - including a miniatures game http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/25018.html

IanTheCool · 05-20-2013, 05:27 PM

Well, that's the same company which made the Spartacus game, which did make waves in the board game world last year.

carnage4u · 05-21-2013, 01:20 PM

i never noticed this thread.. weird.

I love board games. I agree on the Firefly game. At first I didn't care, but as you said, the same people made Spartacus,which is really good.

here is my collection

Ramplate · 05-21-2013, 01:42 PM

Wow man

carnage4u · 05-21-2013, 02:08 PM

That picture is MOST of my games. I keep some of my 2-Player games in their own area (War of the Ring/Starfleet Fleet captians) - Both excellent games.

I've started to really enjoy the nice 2 to 3 player games as much as the ones that play well somewhere between 4-6 people.

I also have been lucky enough that our group players board games about every other weekend. Our game sessions can go from 6 hours to 12+ hours.

Ramplate · 05-21-2013, 02:17 PM

I have a lot of work ahead of me now that I'm home.
gonna clear out some stuff and make some room in here for gaming

carnage4u · 05-22-2013, 07:39 AM

I've been debating picking up the Arkham Horror games. There are a ton of them out now, and I keep watching bulk auctions on Ebay. I will need another bookshelf soon to hold games. I already picked the Entire series 2 of Zombicide on kickstater.

I'm also thinking of grabbing more of "flying Frogg" games. I really like Fortune and glory, which has 2 expansions coming out this year, but all their games are very stylish and thematic. A key element that really clicks with our group.

IanTheCool · 05-23-2013, 07:37 PM

Wow, you really like sci-fi and fantasy games. Like, a lot.

El Grande seems very out of place.

A 7 Wonders fan! I just got the Wonder Pack in the mail with all new player boards.
