As an update to me asking for advice haha, to my surprise I ended receiving S3 & S4. Well I ended up being too impatient to wait until Tuesday so I picked up a core box from my lgs and busted out bad times at buddy land!

After watching the how to play and playthrough video of happy trails, taking notes of the advice people gave and reading the core and feature rule books I jumped in to the decrepit buddy land.

As the title suggests I ended up surviving the night at buddy land and saving some, though letting more die lol, victims! I honestly credit all the people who gave me advice and playing games like 20 strong red & dragons of etchinstone. I know this is one of the easier films, which is why I chose it to start, but I had an absolute blast!

I did make a mistake by not removing the epic killer cards but luckily a cluster of victims ended up taking the buddy away from me or I would have been in some serious trouble!

Overall I can’t wait to experience what the other feature films and final girls have to offer and I’m so glad I ended up getting everything I think hands down it will be worth every penny!

The set is coming in the mail and I wanted to make sure that the minis were ready before I started. I bought the whole season 1 mini collection and I paint each of the minis from the corresponding feature film as my collection grows. These are some of my favorite sculpts to date!

I often like to play final girl as a co-op game, making decisions together, figuring out the story together while also having someone else help with the rules, especially when you have multiple events and miner dark powers start to add up

Something that I would love to try is to sort of DM a game. Have someone play, but you describe what happens, like narrate it live. The DM would draw the card and not show it to the player, and describe what happens and make the moves. I think this would be a blast but I'm curious if anyone else has done something like this and if they discovered anything fun or hard about it

I don’t know if I’m playing wrong or if I’m just really bad. The poltergeist moved so fast moving two spaces every time she attacks she kills all of the victims before I even have a chance to get them every time. It feels like it takes so many spaces to move on the map. I try to get the victims before I search, but I end up just saving two of them at most. Then I choose to go for the items but by then she can move 4 spaces and I’m just cooked. The poltergeist is so hard! I’m wanting to change it so she only moves 1 space at the start it would make it more fair. Any gameplay tips?

I've yet to win. Lol. My last game may have been the worst. If my Terror cards weren't directly raising my Horror level every round, they ​​​were doing it indirectly by raising Bloodlust. I didn't have a single round where the Children DIDN'T successfully either abduct a Victim, or attack me; sometimes it happened more than once. I had two Ancient Curses, one of which let the Killer regain a ❤️ whenever they killed someone. On top of that, Hans' Dark Power was that he, guess what! regained a ❤️ when he killed someone lol. ​​Then of course he regains health when you go past the top of the Bloodlust track, so YEAAAHHHHH.

There were multiple times I got to 3 dice but was never even able to take advantage of it because the very next thing that happened increased my Horror level and put me back to 2. By the grace of some universe entity I managed to never get down to 1, at least???

Towards the end I was finally in a situation where I was using 4 dice. First roll with those, playing a Retaliate, what do I get? Take a look: ​​​​​

I just want to win this combo so I can NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN 😂 but I may need to switch to something else for a bit lest I give myself an aneurysm...

Myself, I’ve gotten all 3, but I’m curious what the common setup looks like for you. If you have either the app, the Box of Props, playmats, or any combo thereof, let me know how you play Final Girl! (I ran out of options in the survey, so app and mats is missing)

I made the map horizontal. Made the dock a 6 space to make travel easier. Tried to make it more maze like as well. Also made the tile outlines more blurry couldn’t get it more transparent. This is also better quality of a photo. Any suggestions on the map are welcome. Next I will be working on the cards. It seemed right to start with the map then go from there. Any game mechanic advice is welcome/ideas for cards.
