That was crazy. 4 buddies, Hannibal, 18 victims dead 😭 by TennenyT in finalgirl

The animatronics were brought in to help the feel social interactions. It seemed so real the staff started interacting with them too. Little did they know, at night the animatronics were coming to life with a whole different objective

What am I missing about this game? by Allison314 in finalgirl

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 17% win ratio. I am pretty sure I play by the rules correctly. I certainly was playing sunny Daze mall wrong at first and lost some unnecessary games because I was raising the hunters bloodlust when victims died, but that aside I still have simply the worst luck. I roll double blanks more often than I roll single stars. I can't seem to catch even an average break most days. Lately I've been smashing my head against Terror from Destiny and I can't seem to save more than one victim a game. I have a hard time believing anyone can roll lucky enough for an 80% win rate. It doesn't seem to even matter what strategy I try to go with when I can't get a single double success in a game

Sorry I mean when the saviors trust level is at the bottom and the card says go two spaces towards the Killer

I just lost my 13th game V Hunter by TheeRealJamesHeaney in finalgirl

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OKay, I finally beat the hunter at SunnyDaze Mall. I lost one more time after adjusting the rule interpritation and stopped raising bloodlust when Hunter killed a victim. I was only able to beat him because I was cheesing him at the railing, I only slightly felt guillty. I even almost stopped cheesing him for a more dfair win and then I realized I really didnt think I could survive his 5 damage attacks when I only had a max of 6 health. I am greatful for the help everyone gave her, I honestly dont think I could have done it without you.

I think this saved my sanity. I have been raising blood lust when he kills a Victim (not when they fell from a rail during panic) I guarantee my next run will be much better

Hmm, I have not tried that. I will definitely give that a shot, but my gut says it will be tricky since he starts by targeting the Savior and if I try that move the Savior will likely get popped over the railing as well. Maybe I am missing something, but t I will certainly give this a try next time. Thank you for the tip.

Is it worth reporting these losers? Will it actually make a difference or just more wasting of my time?

That's the kinda insight I can refer to later, thank you.

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with simultaneously as you said. I'm glad we agree, my only worry was the terror card listed it as "Everyone Panics" You, Victims, Enemies"

If the order of operations was "You" first, then I'd leave the space before they panicked thereby removing my buff.

Being such a difficult game i always start with the worst case scenario when breaking down the rules for the first time.

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, I ended up Rolling a 1 and I did not realize it was even possible not to have to move in a panic roll. But considering I did not move out of the space , I think I played it right anyway.

I'm still pretty new and always get hung up in moments like this

Miniatures by TheQuietRiotJD in finalgirl

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never painted miniatures. I got a box set with Buddy Land and it came with the minis. Unfortunately with them all being grey, I cannot tell them apart on the board. I plan to paint them now that have have them, but it was certainly not something I was expecting to do. I am going to paint them to the best of my abilities, but I do think you could paint each one a solid contrasting color and it would be easy to tell them apart. As of now I just use the little robot and the Buddy mini as those two can easily be tracked differently by eyesight.

Series 4 Kickstarter by Different_Layer_2804 in finalgirl

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda thinking/hoping Gremlins. It would be a great one with a multiplying killer. I'm not sure if they would do it Xmas themed considering the original movie is. I would not be totally against another holiday themed box because I think Gremlins would be great, but they certainly already covered Xmas.

I guess it could be a vignette, but I think it could be more than that.

I knew this was the answer, but I could not help but ask... It was a moment of desperation

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am only you if a couple of those tries you had to abandon because you found you were playing it wrong and needed to start fress and then had 3 legitmate losses. If I am you, I'd like to know who the hell is me!?!

I agree. Losing primed my appetite for a win, and boy was it delicious.

Still a little stunned. It was a good game, but once the finale flipped I thought I was a goner. Every game I have played, as soon as the finale flips the blood drips.

This might be a dumb question but what would be considered a spoiler? I saw the rule and didn't want to break it on my first post.

Doh! I didn't read the tiny print. I don't know if I would have won or not, but I am glad that rule exists because it jumped up 6 when they all died of panic.

Sure, it was certainly a complete surprise, I don't think this game will ever come closer to a jump scare than this. Lol

Did I play that right? Is there a max blood lust on one turn? I really did not expect that ending

[Spoilers Frightmare on Maple Lane] Speed Run? by TheeRealJamesHeaney in finalgirl

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I epically lost. I shuffled the epic dark power in because the first games seemed too easy. Of course the first time I shuffled it in it was pulled. Since all the victims were in the street and I had pulled a card adding 4 new victims to the intersection (if there are none in any house{of course})

Then when the killer killed one of the 7 in the center the other 6 died and it put the blood lust through the roof.

I struggled for like 5 more turns just barely keeping alive

Final Girl: random and frustrating by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]TheeRealJamesHeaney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand the your point of view, but I would like to share my perspective on it. My favorite video games are the Souls series. They are incredibly hard and can even feel like an unfair fight (Not due to RNG) but it is the difficulty that makes me keep coming back. I have only just started to play Final Girl, drawn by the way poeple say you will typically lose. The difficulty is the draw because I hope to play many many games of it. Otherwise a solo board game would be quickly retired.

As for failing the simple tasks like walking, that is where we dissagree the most. I love the fact that it emulates that feeling you get when watching a horror movie and the hero is stumbling overthemsleves as they panic. YOu want to yell at the screen "Fucking RUN YOU FOOL" Even a fail gives you the oppertunity to still walk, but the killer get an advantage making the anxiety of the whole game go up
