Legendary Encounters: A Firefly Deck Building Game

A co-op Firefly deck-builder: play crew members, build your deck and tackle show episodes together.

Serenity's crew, but they are all in your deck. Legendary Encounters: A Firefly Deck Building Game is a standalone cooperative deck-builder built on the Legendary Encounters system, set in the Firefly universe. Each player picks an Avatar from the Main Characters, and every game uses 5 Main Characters and 4 Supporting Characters, so all nine crew members appear. The 14-card stacks of the supporting cast are shuffled into a Crew Deck that feeds each player's growing deck. Together you work through objectives for episodes from the show. Around 500 cards, fully cooperative or solo, for fans of the series who like a puzzly, card-driven team challenge, about ninety minutes.

Who it's for

You love Firefly and want a cooperative deck-builder with lots of cards to explore, alone or with three players.

Not for you if…

You do not know the show or want a competitive deck-builder, or you dislike large card pools.

Vibe's take

A team puzzle where everyone builds a deck while the game throws episode challenges at the group. It rewards planning together and knowing what each Avatar adds.
