Final Girl, @vanrydergames.bsky.social, #PlayAllMonth, Day 9

Gwynn vs. Billy the Bear in Buddyland

Billy etc. killed eight in the first two turns, and there was little else I could do when they mopped up the remaining two in the next turn. I don’t like this box yet.
#Boardgame #SoloBoardgaming

A completed game of Final Girl wherein Gwynn has been absolutely bludgeoned in a corner by three bad guys.

You may not think Tales of Myth and Legend would fall into that category, but have you ever been face to face(s) with Cerberus?!

Stay tuned because as busy as October is with the spooky stuff, November will bring new holidays and new preorders!

Look at that, a finished mini!

This is Hans, the killer from the first "tape" you get with the Final Girl starter box, Camp Happy Trails.

The initial girls are still in progress, but overall very cool minis. From @vanrydergames.bsky.social

Final Girl, @vanrydergames.bsky.social, #PlayAllMonth, Day 2

Christie vs. Razorface in the Hellscape

The dice did me zero favors in this one, but neither did I, breaking one of my cardinal rules (always have movement cards) and ending up with two zero-action turns.
#Boardgame #SoloBoardgaming

A completed game of Final Girl that did not end well. Note the lack of Afflictions, at least.

We love this one for both introducing new players to games, including younger gamers, but also for lightweight gaming with enough different mini games for all to play!

If you've played this one, what is your favorite mini game and why?
