Board Game Quest has posted a new game review. This time they take a look at the Firefly game from Gale Force 9. "Over a decade ago, a little known TV show premiered on the FOX network called Firefly. As any fan of the show (Browncoats as they are known) can attest to, this sci-fi/western TV show was completely mismanaged by the network until it was canceled halfway through its first season. To say the show has gone on to become a cult hit would be a gross understatement. Firefly has spawned a loyal following of Browncoats that any TV show on the air now would be drooling to have. It's with these fans in mind that we take a look at today's review of Firefly: The Game. Published by Gale Force Nine, the Firefly: The Game quickly sold out at its Gen Con premiere in 2013.

Kind of full circle as it would appear that in college writer Joss Weadon was a player of a certain RPG.
Suspicions are that this was in fact Traveller and the Serenity is in fact to some extent based on that game`s March Harrier. |

That's interesting. Firefly is very similar to a Canadian show called Star Hunter, which preceded Whedon's show, but wasn't half as good. A lot of people think that Whedon was a fan of Star Hunter. |
