Game Salute along with Toy Vault have released a Kickstarter campaign for a new game based on the Firefly universe: Out to the Black. I don’t think I need to explain how exciting this is, so I’ll just let the guys at Game Salute explain:

Firefly: Out to the Black is a bit different than a lot of games because, in this one, 3 to 5 of ya will be cooperatin’ with each other, tryin’ your best to survive the various entanglements the game throws at you. Ya ain’t competin’ with each other here: either everyone wins or everyone loses.
For each round there’s a Job that can be completed in one of four ways using the Skills you and your team possess. The better you do at the Job, the more rewards you and your crew reap… but if you do poorly, you’re sure to suffer some harsh penalties. The Alliance is hot on your tail, Gorramit Cards can make just about anything go wrong, and improving your situation is usually going to cost you some Credits or Honor. In the end, if you’ve been able to skirt by without usin’ up all your Credits or Honor, haven’t taken every card in the Alliance deck, and’ve completed all the Jobs Cards, then you and your team win. Be careful though; it’s a might tougher than it looks cuz nothin’s easy when you’re out in the black.

So it’s a co-op game with a reasonably short play time, features art work from the series, and best of all maintains all the feel of short-lived series. So I’m sold, how about you?!
But there’s a kicker (like what I did there?!), due to a licensing issue the game won’t be sent to addresses outside of the USA; this doesn’t prevent you making a Pledge, just that it’ll need to go to someone in America who can forward it to you.
But fear not! Geek Pride is going to ask the questions and find out if anything can be done to bring this cracking looking game to the UK. So what can you do? Get commenting, let them and us know how much you want this to come to the UK! Happy writing!
