Board Game Geek Rating: 6.14. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 8.57. This is a solo board game for 1 player, published in 2021 by Van Ryder Games. It's the Kickstarter Edition of the Final Girl Core Box game. The core box is essential but not a complete game on its own. You'll need at least one Final Girl Expansion Scenario (like A Knock At The Door, sold separately) to play. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise. Playing on the famous horror movie trope, Final Girl puts you in the shoes of a female protagonist. Your goal is to kill the slasher to survive. When you combine the Core Box with a Feature Film Box, you have everything needed to play. Each Feature Film Box comes with a unique Killer and an iconic Location. The more Feature Films you own, the more killer/location combinations you can try! In gameplay, it's similar to Hostage Negotiator but has key differences. There's a game board to track locations and character movement. You can choose from multiple characters and killers. Each Killer and Location has its own terror cards, shuffled to create unique scenarios. We're happy to support campaigns to bring you games like this. A significant part of your spending on this game will go towards backing new games on Kickstarter. If you have any purchase questions or need game advice, contact The Game Steward.
To play Final Girl, first, you'll need the Core Box. But remember, it's not a stand - alone game, so you'll have to buy at least one Final Girl Expansion Scenario. Once you have all the necessary components, combine the Core Box with a Feature Film Box. This gives you everything to start. You'll play as a female protagonist and aim to kill the slasher to win. When setting up, shuffle the terror cards specific to the chosen Killer and Location. The game board helps you keep track of where your character is and how they move. You can pick different characters and killers each time you play to have a fresh experience. Keep in mind that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are usually not included. If you want to expand your game collection, buy more Feature Film Boxes to unlock more killer/location combinations. As for maintenance, keep the cards in a dry place and away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. The game board should also be stored flat to avoid warping.
