Con Man, the online show created by Firefly actor Alan Tudyk, is to get its very own card game spin-off.

For those not in the know, Con Man is loosely based on Tudyk’s own acting career, having played spaceship pilot Wash in the beloved cult sci-fi show Firefly until its much-maligned cancellation. Tudyk has also appeared in a number of Disney films, including Wreck-It Ralph, Frozen and Moana, as well as the latest Star Wars entry, Rogue One, as the sassy robot K-2SO.

In Con Man, Tudyk plays Wray Nerely, a former sci-fi actor in a cult sci-fi show (sound familiar?) who now spends most of his time attending conventions, making press appearances and bemoaning the contrasting success of his co-stars, including Jack Moore, played by Tudyk’s fellow Firefly alumnus Nathan Fillion.

The show broke crowdfunding records for web series on Indiegogo for its first season in 2015, raising over $1 million in under a day and going on to gather in excess of $3 million. A second season was released online last December.

Catalyst Game Labs is creating Con Man: The Card Game, which will see players cast as a handful of Nerely’s acting pals, all of whom are attempting to steer the hapless ex-star towards their own objective.

It’s due out this April.
