Can't take the outer rim from me...

By keltheos, in Star Wars: Outer Rim

I liked firefly for a bit, but it does feel very luck driven, almost to the exclusion of anything else. Which is a big put off, especially for a game which is generally quite long.

Looks like someone over at FFG had a sniff of https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/8411/star-wars-corellian-smuggler

Done properly, this could be really good.

That game looks utterly amazing! The more elements of that incorporated into this competitive multiplayer game, the better!

That's what finally did Firefly in for me. Bad luck run and you're looking at a 3 hour game sometimes where you have zero chance of recovering. Also, the more players who knew the game the more it was a race to certain planets to buy out the best mods/crews before anyone else. Great game for a few plays but it kinda seized up. We traded out from Firefly to Xia, much more of a game with plenty of replay in that vein.

Funny, having played both I tend to agree that there are elements of Corellian smuggler in Outer Rim.

Seems a little bit pricey for the content to me. Guess the last drops of milk of the cash cow are more expensive.

Do we know if/when FFG lose the Star Wars license?

No indications it's any time soon
