Firefly: The Game - Rules of Play says:

Firefly: The Game gives all you Brown Coats the chance to live out your shiny bad guy dreams! Yes, the little show that only ever had one season but has etched itself onto so many hearts and minds now has its own board game! Fly the 'Verse, hire a crew and take on cargo as you try to complete jobs and follow the story goals. There are legal issues, of course - watch out for Alliance ships, and those Reavers are always around to cause mayhem, but hey – who ever said space travel was easy?!

In 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.
