Firefly Fluxx

**Firefly Fluxx®** is a variant of the Fluxx® series. It was released on March 18, 2016 under dual license by Looney Labs and Gale Force Nine by permission of 20th Century Studios (f.k.a. "20th Century Fox), owners of the "Firefly" property. It is based on characters and situations from the 2002 FOX-TV sci-fi series ***"Firefly"*** and its' 2005 feature film sequel ***"Serenity"***.

This set has been placed in the "Looney Labs Vault", which means there are no future plans to reprint or re-release the game. This is usually due to the licensing agreement expiring. As of 2023, it is available in limited supply through the Looney Labs Webstore in a "Demo Copy" version, which is essentially the same as the originally-released set, but with a large, pink "Demo Copy" sticker on it. This also means when they sell out, no more will be produced.

### Packaging

The Packaging for **Firefly Fluxx®** is the standard flat 2-part box (4 13/16" length x 3 11/16" width x 1" depth) currently used for Fluxx® sets. The box holds all the cards in two piles with a cardboard divider insert keeping said piles apart for storage. It also holds an instruction sheet and a catalog of Looney Labs merchandise.

### Cards

The game contains 100 cards: 21 Actions, 2 Creepers, 32 Goals, 18 Keepers, 21 New Rules, 5 Surprises and 1 Basic Rules card. Each card carries the following copyright information under the Fluxx® logo on the back: *"FIREFLY™ & © 2015 TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED."* *NOTE: This was prior to Fox being bought out by the Disney corporation and being renamed **"20th Century Studios"**.*

The packaging design and card art was produced by Adam Levermore.

As of 2023, three single Promo Cards and two Expansion Packs have been produced specifically for use with this set. (See PROMO CARDS & EXPANSION PACKS below.)

### Promo Cards & Expansion Packs

As of 2023, three single Promo Cards and two Expansion Packs have been released specifically for use with **Firefly Fluxx®**.

Two of the single Promos were issued in 2016. The first was **The Alliance** Creeper. The Alliance was released in March of 2016 as a retailer exclusive, to help promote **Firefly Fluxx®**. The card is one of two in this group with what might be considered a "printing error" (the other being the "Bridget" Keeper; see entry below), in that the lettering on the left-hand side of the card is, in some instances, bright white instead of the tan shade used for the background of the card and the lettering of the cards in the rest of the set. (This may have been for only part of the run, as the image used for the card in the Webstore has the lettering in tan.) The card's Special Effect is: *"During your turn you can move this to a player with River Tam, Stolen Goods or Serenity."* As of 2023, the card is still available through the Looney Labs Webstore (SKU: LOO-800-071 / MSRP: $1.00).

The second was the **Alliance Treasure** Keeper. It was released in Game Trade Magazine #193 for March 2016. The Card Lore reads: *"Counts as Stolen Goods or Money or Booty. Cannot be Plundered."* This text allows the card to be used in several other Fluxx® sets, including Pirate Fluxx. As of 2023, the card is still available through the Looney Labs Webstore (SKU: LOO-800-072 / MSRP: $1.00).

In addition, the first of two Expansion Packs, the Saffron Expansion, was released. This included the Saffron Keeper and three related Goals. (Details on these cards are in the entry for the Expansion.)

Two years later, in 2018, the ***Firefly Upgrade Pack*** was released with 10 cards, including two new Keepers (Yolanda & Jubal Early), six new Goals and two upgraded Creepers. (Details on these cards are in the entry for the pack.)

In addition, the Bridget Keeper was released as a Loose Promo. (Details on this card are in the entry listing.)
