I don\u2019t want the live version, I don\u2019t want the \u201cRadio Edit\u201d version (the one that snipped 45 seconds so that it removed some of the fade in\/fade out melodies to fit ad-supported radio stations), I don\u2019t want the cover by some random jazz band, and I <i>definitely<\/i> don\u2019t want the KIDZ BOP version.<\/p>\n<p>But remember that stretch in 2019 when Lil\u2019 Nas X released <i>Old Town Road<\/i>, then after it had a run on the Billboard Hot 100 for a few months, the country charts decided it just wasn\u2019t quite country enough? Lil\u2019 Nas X went out and got Billy Ray Cyrus to join him for a remix of <i>Old Town Road<\/i>\u2026and the song went nuclear. Over the last 10 years I\u2019m not sure there has been a signature remix that hammered it quite like <i>Old Town Road<\/i>, and when you listen to the different versions of the song, that remix really didn\u2019t change much to the structure of the song beyond adding Cyrus to the vocals.

I bought a copy of <i>Hostage Negotiator<\/i> at Gen Con years ago; that was my first dedicated solo game, and I loved it.<\/p>\n<p>The tension in <i>Hostage Negotiator<\/i> was what kept me coming back. The idea of playing a negotiator who uses a hand of very thematic cards to buy time while trying to get some of the hostages out before they are killed off by the round\u2019s antagonist was just perfect to me; I love bad cop movies and I REALLY love the Samuel L. Jackson flick <i>The Negotiator<\/i>, so playing <i>Hostage Negotiator<\/i> just felt good.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, I made it a few months with <i>Hostage Negotiator<\/i> before selling my copy and moving on. Fast forward to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/articles\/meeple-mountain-at-pax-unplugged-2021\/\">PAX Unplugged 2021<\/a>, and there I was, standing in front of AJ Porfirio and having a bit of a flashback because as I stared at his latest release, <i>Final Girl<\/i>, at the Van Ryder Games booth, I swore I recognized the mechanic on the player board.<\/p>\n<p>And then it hit me. <i>Final Girl<\/i> IS <i>Hostage Negotiator<\/i>, but this remix is one of the greatest board game remixes ever. <i>Final Girl<\/i> takes the best parts of the cardplay in <i>Hostage Negotiator<\/i>, maintains the tension of the original game, rethemes the entire enterprise into a core box system that lets players swap in various elements from other expansions in this new <i>Final Girl<\/i> universe, and blows the original game\u2019s artwork out of the water with a pulpy, distinctive, bold style that makes the box really pop on your shelf. And for a horror movie junkie like me, <i>Final Girl<\/i> brings it all home by making players the female protagonist in the game, similar to classic horror-film franchises such as <i>A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, <\/i>and <i>Poltergeist<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Final Girl <\/i>is a masterpiece. I thought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/reviews\/under-falling-skies\/\"><i>Under Falling Skies<\/i><\/a> would be the best solo game I played in 2021, but <i>Final Girl<\/i> has taken the prize.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242017 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-pid=\"242017\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-74x55.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 74w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-111x83.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 111w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-215x161.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 215w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2.jpg?size=528x396&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 528w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-600x450.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-990x743.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 990w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-1200x900.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-1320x990.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1320w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-2.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px;

Wanna walk from one space on the Location Board to another? Play the Walk card, roll a couple of bright red D6s and hope you make it to your intended destination. Need to sit and heal up a bit? Play the Short Rest card and hope your rolls give you 2 critical life points back instead of just one.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the cards utilize a cost that eats into the time you\u2019ll spend running around the board. That\u2019s important, because any leftover time you have is spent during the Planning phase on the \u201cAction Tableau\u201d, the card market where you will be able to buy better actions for future rounds while also scooping up any free action cards available from previous turns.<\/p>\n<p>Managing your hand in <i>Final Girl<\/i>, just like <i>Hostage Negotiator<\/i>, is such a blast. That\u2019s because on your Horror Roll, 1s and 2s are misses. 5s and 6s are successes. But 3s and 4s are the toughest choice: an icon showing 2 cards. That means you can convert 3s and 4s to successes, but only if you burn 2 cards from your hand, and let\u2019s just say your hand is never bustling with extra cards.<\/p>\n<p>That makes your selections in the Action Tableau so challenging. And picking the cards you think you will really be able to use in the next round is key, at least until a game effect randomly discards half of your hand, killing off your great planning. (Like a movie, so many random things happen in this game. The balance of strategy and tactical ingenuity in <i>Final Girl<\/i> is part of the fun.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242019 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-pid=\"242019\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-74x55.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 74w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-111x83.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 111w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-215x161.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 215w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4.jpg?size=528x396&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 528w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-600x450.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-990x743.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 990w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1200x900.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1320x990.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1320w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1920\/1440;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-pid=\"242019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-74x55.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 74w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-111x83.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 111w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-215x161.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 215w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4.jpg?size=528x396&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 528w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-600x450.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-990x743.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 990w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1200x900.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1320x990.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1320w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-4.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2>The Killer!<\/h2>\n<p>So, you\u2019ll play your Action cards, save some Victims, maybe even attack the Killer. (At least in the first 2 boxes I have played, the Killer\u2019s location is not secret, so you don\u2019t have to spend time locating the Killer, a big concern of mine when I first opened the rulebook.)<\/p>\n<p>But your goal is to kill the Killer. The Killer\u2019s actions are great in that they are very easy to initiate: usually, target a Victim nearby (or maybe even you!), walk towards that Victim, murder them off. Every dead victim hikes the Bloodlust Track up another notch which makes the Killer faster, stronger and usually an even worse problem than it was a moment ago. Then a Terror card is played, which serves as the Killer\u2019s event system, with a series of additional things to manage or Victims to add to the Location board.<\/p>\n<p>Planning for each turn is a fun mini-puzzle that changes every game thanks to the variable setup and the random selection of items to find in a given game.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242016 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-pid=\"242016\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-74x55.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 74w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-111x83.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 111w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-215x161.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 215w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1.jpg?size=528x396&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 528w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-600x450.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-990x743.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 990w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1200x900.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1320x990.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1320w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1920\/1440;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-pid=\"242016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-74x55.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 74w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-111x83.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 111w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-215x161.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 215w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1.jpg?size=528x396&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 528w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-600x450.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-990x743.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 990w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1200x900.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1320x990.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1320w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-1.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2>The Final Girl System<\/h2>\n<p>The <i>Final Girl<\/i> Core Box includes your dice, player board, meeples, heart tokens and everything else you\u2019ll need to play expansion content. You need the Core Box to do anything else; from there, you can add expansion content\u2014known as Feature Film boxes\u2014to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n<p>The playable characters in <i>Final Girl<\/i> have different skins, with 2 Final Girl characters in each Feature Film box. The different characters are quite similar. All of them have a special power (either a one-time bonus or an ongoing effect) that triggers after you save their allotted number of Victims from the board, anywhere from 4-6 Victims. But character choice comes down to a choice of skins; do you prefer Nancy or Barbara or Adelaide or Meiko or someone else based on their appearance?<\/p>\n<p>The real choices in <i>Final Girl <\/i>come with each expansion\u2019s Location and Killer boards. Each Feature Film box comes with one of each Location and Killer, and across the Season One product line there are 5 Locations and 5 different Killers that can be mixed and matched. Then you add in a couple dozen different setups and 10 different playable characters, and you have something that might be enough to be your only solo gaming system for weeks, if not months.<\/p>\n<p>And the variety within these different Locations is fantastic. My experience playing through the review content of <i>Final Girl<\/i> took place using 2 of the 5 Feature Film boxes for what is known as Season One: \u201cSlaughter in the Groves\u201d, featuring a cult leader who harnesses energy by collecting victims in certain locations on the Sacred Groves Location board, and \u201cCarnage at the Carnival\u201d, featuring Geppetto the Puppet Master and a carnival that doesn\u2019t feel like the right place to bring the kids. (Not just my kids. ANY kids!)<\/p>\n<p>Loads of items, weapons, events, and \u201cTerror\u201d cards are in each expansion. You\u2019ll likely not see all of it from any single box for a half-dozen plays in the same game, although I have already seen some item duplicates in the first 2 boxes I opened up.<\/p>\n<p>Need more flavor text than what you get in the box? Don\u2019t worry, Van Ryder\u2019s got you. If you go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanrydergames.com\/finalgirl\">Van Ryder site<\/a>, you can use the completely optional \u201cGruesome Deaths\u201d manual to animate kills as if you were reading a book after any Victims bite it during the game.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, let\u2019s talk about the actual design of each Feature Film box:<i> I love it.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>These packages are the perfect representation of simple elegance. Both the front and back box covers are magnetically sealed to hold the box together, and these covers are then used as either a Location or a Killer Board. Cards are kept secure using the plastic inserts on both sides of the box, and the size of the entire Final Girl collection can easily fit into a large backpack. Or, if you are like me, you\u2019ve found your perfect game-on-the-go box that can fit on a hotel desk for solo play after a long day walking around a convention hall.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242020 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-pid=\"242020\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-74x55.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 74w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-111x83.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 111w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-215x161.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 215w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5.jpg?size=528x396&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 528w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-600x450.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-990x743.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 990w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1200x900.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1320x990.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1320w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1920px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1920\/1440;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-242020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" data-wp-pid=\"242020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-74x55.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 74w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-111x83.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 111w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-215x161.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 215w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5.jpg?size=528x396&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 528w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-600x450.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 600w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-990x743.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 990w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1200x900.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1320x990.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1320w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b1803394.smushcdn.com\/1803394\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Final-Girl-5.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1320px) 100vw, 1320px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h2>A Love Affair (with Blood, the Occult, Murder and Knives)<\/h2>\n<p><i>Final Girl<\/i> never struggles to find ways to create dread. The health meter is tight. The time meter\u2014the scale you\u2019ll use to buy cards before the Killer attacks every round\u2014is tight. The number of resources you can find to defend yourself is tight. The number of great attack cards is REALLY tight.<\/p>\n<p>And that tension is what makes <i>Final Girl <\/i>shine.<\/p>\n<p>Now, tension is great, but that tension turns to outright anger on occasion, especially when poor dice rolls lead to your character\u2019s demise early in the scenario. And I got straight up murdered off the board in one instance thanks to a situation where I topped the Bloodlust track and triggered 4 consecutive ongoing effect Events in a row. On my next turn, I took damage from 3 Minions and the Killer with my 5-health Final Girl and was killed off faster than you can say \u201cCamp Crystal Lake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But those situations are rare. And even then, poor planning did me in; you really have to invest in searching sites for weapons and items if you are going to survive in <i>Final Girl<\/i>. Rushing the ending is almost impossible, which I appreciate.<\/p>\n<p><i>Final Girl<\/i> is quite a puzzle, with theme for days, and great reference material for fans of classichorror franchises. With so many expansions already in the wild, you\u2019ll never run out of reasons to look at the beautiful art by Vladyslava Ladkova, Tyler Johnson, Roland McDonald, Tumo Mere and many other credited artists.<\/p>\n<p><i>Final Girl<\/i> is the only solo game you\u2019ll need to buy this year; it\u2019s a tough customer that is infinitely replayable. I played it 6 times prior to writing this review and I could play it 50 more times and still find joy in the proceedings. It\u2019s a slick production, and if you want to splurge on minis to replace the included wooden meeples or go bigger and get the amazing dual playmat set (seriously, amazing), go to town. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/vanrydergames\/final-girl-series-2?ref=nav_search&amp;result=project&amp;term=final%20girl\">The Kickstarter is live for Season 2<\/a> and it&#8217;s already gotten 5,000 fans to buy in.<\/p>\n<p>And for the record: I do sorta like the KIDZ BOP version of <i>Old Town Road<\/i>. In fact, please excuse me while I go queue that up right now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin packs a butcher knife for his review of the excellent solo game Final Girl by Van Ryder Games!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":69,"featured_media":242125,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[1654],"coauthors":[6089],"class_list":["post-242015","reviews","type-reviews","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-card-games","category-horror-board-games","tag-solo-gaming","designers-a-j-porfirio","designers-evan-derrick","mechanisms-dice-rolling","mechanisms-hand-management","mechanisms-pick-up-and-deliver","mechanisms-solo-solitaire-game","mechanisms-variable-player-powers","publishers-lucky-duck-games","publishers-van-ryder-games","artists-roland-macdonald","artists-tyler-johnson","release_year-2622"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Final Girl Game Review &#8212; Meeple Mountain<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Justin packs a butcher knife for his review of the excellent solo game Final Girl by Van Ryder Games!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/reviews\/final-girl\/\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/reviews\/final-girl\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Board Game Reviews\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/reviews\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Final Girl Game Review\"}]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Final Girl Game Review &#8212; Meeple Mountain","description":"Justin packs a butcher knife for his review of the excellent solo game Final Girl by Van Ryder Games!","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/reviews\/final-girl\/","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/reviews\/final-girl\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Board Game Reviews","item":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/reviews\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Final Girl Game Review"}]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews\/242015"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reviews"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/69"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reviews\/242015\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242015"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.meeplemountain.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=242015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
