- Van Ryder Games - Horror Board Game - Final Girl - Core Box – Feature Film Box Required - 1 Player Board Game – 20-60 Minutes Gameplay – Ages 14+

I don’t like horror movies but heard good things about the solo game series: Final Girl. People were right! It is a fun game system and the components are really high quality. The game is hard, but in a way that makes me want to keep playing to beat it.

If you're a fan of solo board games or love horror movies, Final Girl by Van Ryder Games is an absolute masterpiece. Honestly, it's the best game I've ever played! The theme is spot-on, immersing you completely in the terrifying world of a slasher film. From the moment you set up the game, it feels like you’ve stepped into a classic horror movie. The tension is real, the stakes are high, and every decision feels meaningful. The modular system is genius. Being able to mix and match different “Final Girls” and killers with various locations keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting. No two games feel the same, and I keep discovering new strategies and surprises each time I play. What I love most is the level of storytelling it offers. Every playthrough is like your own personal horror movie, filled with twists and turns. The mechanics are simple to grasp but layered enough to keep you engaged for hours. It’s strategic, nerve-wracking, and incredibly rewarding when you finally outsmart the killer and survive. Van Ryder Games has truly outdone themselves with the production quality. The components are stunning, from the beautifully designed boards to the detailed miniatures. It’s clear a lot of love and thought went into creating this game. I cannot recommend Final Girl enough. Whether you’re a solo gamer, a horror enthusiast, or someone who just loves a game with high replayability, this is a must-have for your collection. Trust me—you won't regret it.

This is one of the best solo games out there. The barrier for entry is pretty low as well. Once you get the core box, then you can get the feature film boxes one at a time as you want/need them, and with a 3rd season coming soon there is a bounty of content. And being able to mix/match the locations and killers makes the replay ability outstanding. The quality is great. The boxes are exactly the size needed, and the fact that you save space and material with the box doubling as the playing boards is really clever. The cards are a decent thickness, the components are all nice. It's just a really well designed and well manufactured game. And don't be afraid, the boards are made to bend at the seam, so you can fold it back so it lays flat when playing. I think it would take a lot of rough bending to damage them. The theme is wonderful too. It's very evocative, and is certainly challenging. I played the Hans/Camp one and lost twice as I learned the rules, won the third time (but realized I'd made a few errors that made it easier on me) lost a fourth and then won a fifth and sixth. And I had a blast each time. Even re-playing the same combination of killer/location feels different after a few plays. I just can't express enough how much I love this game. But I love it so much I gave my copy of this core set and the handful of locations I have to a friend, because I went and backed the season 3 Kickstarter to get all 3 seasons all-in with all the minis and upgrades--the most I have ever spend on a board game. And I don't regret a cent. If you're on the fence, just get it!

I am a horror movie fan and have been my whole life. Someone introduced me to Final girl recently and, knowing that I have a hard time investing the time when there is a complicated setup, they showed me how to play. Having played the game now, it's worth the setup every time. She had a lot of the 'feature films' that are used with this core box, so we have now failed once in what is clearly the movie aliens when we saved everyone else, then died idiotically, and I have also died to the eyeless, which is like the monster from quiet place on a map that had the gyroids from tremors. This game is so much fun and a 100% win for any horror movie fan willing to learn how to play it. It does also have a companion app, which makes the setup MUCH easier. This is the core box - you will need this to play any of the games, but it is itself not a playable game. Think of it as this is your game system, the feature films are the games you play on it. Hope this review helps anyone looking for a gift for the horror movie fan in their life!

This is the core box needed to play any of the other feature film boxes. This core box currently works with all released films series 1-3. At least ONE other feature film is needed to play the game, THE CORE BOX ALONE IS NOT A GAME. That being said I absolutely love this game series. All of the feature films are reasonably priced and modular so you can mix and match any of the locations, killers, or final girls. The game can get pretty difficult, so I’ve had a lot of fun trying to win using different strategies in all kinds of scenarios. An absolutely fantastic value, whether a hardcore fan or just trying it out.

A bit fun, but not as much as the hyped reviews. Far better is Dawn of the Zeds, and Plum Island.

Final Girl is a wonderful game! It’s so nice to have a true made for one player game. If you’re looking at this you probably already know this is the base part of the game. You need to buy feature films (the camp one is best for beginners) to play. It is addictive and fun to play and add to your collection. It did take me a bit of time to become comfortable with playing and I was lucky to have a friend show me how. It can be intimidating to start but don’t worry, it gets better!

de lo mejor para jugar en solitario una belleza

One of the best solo games out there. If this is your introduction to this series you are better off getting the starter set which includes one feature. Only get this core box if you know which features you would like to get and don't want the happy trails feature.

Con esto tienes las herramientas necesarias para jugar a cualquier película. Es la primera vez que juego a un juego de mesa en solitario y me ha encantado, además hay mucho contenido para añadir. Recomendado.

Lo mandaron en una bolsa, nisiquiera de burbujas, solo una bolsa plástica junto con otra cosa que pedí y se maltrato un poco. Pero el juego llego completo, el interior intacto, y me gusta mucho. Ocupas comprar una de las "peliculas" (feature films) para iniciar, yo compre el camp happy trails y esta muy bueno el juego. Es entretenido y retador.

Es wsr ein Geschenk und das "Geburtstagskind" hst sich sehr gefreut.

First solo type game like this and I enjoyed it, this is the "base game" so you will need to buy 1 additional "VHS" style box to actually play which is part of their mix n match if you get a small collection to play for hours or months even with 3 "VHS" as this game is not super easy nor too hard to understand. I recommend reading reviews on which one would suit you as some are simple and some are little more complex with its rules and can feel "too much" if you dive deep first. I'd say its atleast a age rating of 16+ as its a mature game with violence since its a "slasher" survivor type game.
