Firefly: Adventures is a cooperative; mission based; skirmish-level game where the players use the different skills and abilities of Malcolm; Zoë; Jayne; Kaylee and Wash to succeed. The game contains two distinct miniature game pieces for each crew member; one in Casual relaxed pose; the other in a Heroic action pose. Crew may choose to Act Casual or Act Heroic and each pose has a unique set of actions that the Crew can perform on their turn; but be warned – while no one’s gonna pay much mind to someone with a casual demeanor; acting all heroic is sure to attract unwanted attention.
When you and the Crew get to work; a Job Briefing will tell you all you need to know; what your Crew needs to accomplish; how they might succeed and how long they have to get it done. Some Jobs are easier and faster; some are longer and more involved. What type of Job you want to tackle is up to you. You can work a single Job; or a series of Jobs; using the Credits you earn from one Job to equip the Crew for the next Job.
Working a Job is never easy; there’s always some manner of malcontents standing in your way. You and the Crew are sure to run afoul of hired Goons; whether it’s a posse of unruly Cowboys or a gang of Eavesdown Docks Thugs. Depending on the circumstances; you may be able to talk your way out of trouble or distract them with some technical know-what. If not; then the situation may require a bit of violence! Brigands & Browncoats includes ten unique detailed Goon game pieces; five Cowboys and five Thugs.
