Firefly: The Game
Players captain a small transport ship and move across a map of planets and systems to take and complete jobs represented by cards. Along the way they hire specialized crew, buy ship upgrades, and load cargo — some of which is illegal and can be seized if boarded by Alliance patrols. Movement consumes full-burn cards and can trigger random events such as encounters with Alliance ships, mechanical breakdowns, or Reavers. Completing jobs earns money, and the first player to reach the scenario’s story goals wins.

Thematic Space Game about Exploration. You have requests and you have to cross space to make them. Most people say that with expansions the game is even better.
Fernando5.0 1 partida. Consiste básicamente en hacer encargos, recogiendo algo o alguien de un sitio y llevarlo a otro. De este modo consigues dinero, te ganas el favor de gente importante y vas completando los objetivos del juego. Me ha parecido demasiado simple, en el mal sentido, porque la simplicidad en un juego la suelo valorar positivamente, pero en este caso para algo tan simple como es llevar cosas de un lugar a otro, se han liado a meter cartas y más cartas al juego, y luego más y más fichas, que acaban llenando la mesa más grande y no por ello mejorando la experiencia.
