About the game
What you do in a play session
Firefly Adventures: Brigands and Browncoats is a cooperative miniatures game that puts you and your friends in the roles of the iconic Serenity crew. Each team member — Mal, Zoë, Jayne, Kaylee, and Wash — has unique abilities and two different miniatures: one in a casual pose and another in heroic action. Choosing between acting discreetly or drawing attention with heroic deeds is part of the strategy, as each style offers different actions and unique consequences. Missions vary in complexity and length, and credits earned in one can be used to equip the crew for the next. Get ready to face bandits, gunslingers, and situations that may require anything from smooth talk to outright violence, all in the spaghetti western-in-space style that only Firefly can deliver. The game includes ten detailed enemy miniatures, adding even more life to the universe created by Joss Whedon.
