Thrilling solo game

A very intense thrilling solo game. A great homage to the horror films, fast paced gameplay and lots of replayability in the hopes that you will survive.

I would recommend getting the expansion like Happy trail horror to go alongside the core box for your first game, I got the organism as my first one, it was great fun but with so many special rules it was a bit overwhelming at first.

This is now one of my favourite games and highly encourage people to give it a go.

Great solo game

This is such a great solo game. Easy to learn and great solo play. If you are interested in the theme (which is richly presented) this is a must buy!

Incredibly thematic, though very reliant on luck

Final Girl is often quite divisive in the forums and review sites - it is well worth watching a playthrough to see how it appeals to you. That said, I absolutely love it.

Gameplay wise, there is a large amount of luck involved, though there are ways to mitigate unlucky rolls - however, this is folded into the horror theme incredibly well. The emergent storytelling is incredible, but again, is very much theme dependant.

As someone that puts a lot of importance on theme and narrative, that provides a huge amount of enjoyment for me. However, if you focus more on pure mechanics, it might not provide enough variety to satisfy long term.

OVERVIEW

Playing on a famous horror movie trope, Final Girl is a solitaire-only game that puts the player in the shoes of a female protagonist who must kill the slasher if she wants to survive.

The Core Box, when combined with one of our Feature Film Boxes, has everything you need to play the game. Each Feature Film Box features a unique Killer and and iconic Location, and the more Feature Films you have, the more killer/location combinations you can experience!

In game terms, Final Girl shares similarities with Hostage Negotiator, but with some key differences that change it up, including a game board to track locations and character movement. You can choose from multiple characters when picking someone to play and multiple killers when picking someone to play against. Killers and locations each have their own specific terror cards that will be shuffled together to create a unique experience with various combinations of scenarios for you to play!

PLEASE NOTE: This Core box is NOT playable by itself and requires you to also own at least one Feature Film Box.
