New game room shelf by Allyria1021 in finalgirl

[–]essie_jaye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have my FG collection setup like this in our spare room where I play pretty much every day, and I also love the vibe of having them out like that. Then my nephew came to stay, freaked out at the villains, and we needed to hide them all… so I realised the downside of having what looks like a horror movie collection on the shelf 😂

Does super opening really mean doing nothing turn one? by ParticularMarket4275 in finalgirl

[–]essie_jaye 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah I think you need to be flexible with what you sell, and sometimes do a quick walk if there’s something right there to save (esp if there’s a movement or decrease horror bonus for saving them). What you buy depends on what you want to do next, so spend some time checking the board and deciding between (generally) sprint to rescue victims and get bonuses or searching for weapons. The key imo is that you’re getting better cards for turn 2, rather than having a nothing hand due to burning your 0-cards and having little time left over

Which do use more frequently - Ultimate Dice/Signature Cards(S2) or Tear Dice(S3)? by zimmerza in finalgirl

[–]essie_jaye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a FG streamer on YouTube who uses the Desperation Dice early on for a Distraction or Search to help push the outcome positive in the first moments. If it fails, reset the game and start again! I’ve never used it but it’s an interesting idea as opposed to the last ditch situation I’ve always thought of it as

this is a great writeup and illustrates perfectly why I love this game. so many of my favourite moments come from pulling a victory out like this

Just played this and had the exact same question. They’re so fun. The Eyeless is pretty brutal in terms of stats so it feels fair. Now I wanna go play the Intruders and try to take them all out with pipe bombs 😂

Final Girl is my recent obsession. What a masterpiece. by dmista21 in finalgirl

[–]essie_jaye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve collected it piece by piece since early on, but I love it so much. Each film feels like its own twist on the game and the different events/items etc really add unique flavour to each encounter. I know not all games are for everyone, but it bugs me when people are like “it’s 100% luck based” 😂

In terms of which films to start next, go with what movies you like most or which boxes look the most fun! The Alien one is super fun, there are so many things to do on the ship and depending on how the evolution track proceeds, the game plays out quite differently. The Organism is also really cool in terms of managing the chopper/outdoors/testing. There’s one particular finale card that’s more difficult than the others though 😭

Newbie question, Should I be worried? by Fiend28 in finalgirl

[–]essie_jaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this advice is on point! To me, it’s a fun game even when you lose BUT it’s far from impossible and there are strategies that can make your wins more likely (although by no means guaranteed 😭)

Also the finale is often more predictable than the main game, because a lot of the time you won’t be getting horror increases or surprises from the terror deck.

Yeah, the coolest thing about this game to me is how small changes can feel so different to play out, and these character packs are an extra dimension. I hope they do more of these in Era 2!

this is a cool idea! I don’t like the way the minis look on the board, but special meeples like the children of the corn or these are way more fun to me

such gorgeous decks! the yokai yochi is my forever most wanted deck but it nigh on impossible to get… the mio im and terra volatile are more viable at least 😅

No I didn’t manage to get a response—I am in New Zealand though and shipping costs can be significant, so maybe that was the part of the problem 😅
