Saturday 8th March Firefly   Leave a comment

Return to Firefly with Darryl, Mike, Phil and Andy.
Crown Jewels fakery this week.
Tough scenario. Lots of crazy twists. Darryl might have won if he had listened to his sage advice to keep cargo handy. But he did not alowing Phil to seduce away his disgruntled Kaylee and River. This allowed Phil to travel to Londonium narrowly escaping the reevers and complete the second goal. As leading player at midnight he claimed a slight victory thanks to the generosity of the players early on.

Saturday 18th January: Firefly.   Leave a comment

Firefly the boardgame.
Bruce, Darryl, Phil, Andy and Mike played this game for the first time. Darryl self sacrificed by taking the best ship. Bruce set the Alliance Police against Phil. Andy shipped Beef and Darryl worked as a taxi. Mike pulled off a dangerous job fighting gangsters. Phil tried to commit a crime but generally did smuggling. At the end Bruce had the most money. Was fun.
