Tried out my 1st mix and match playthrough with the Evo wrecking havoc at camp happy trails. The Evo managed to evolve into a full grown adult and terrorized a few unlucky campers but Reiko armed with her >!signature Axe!< managed to chip away at the ugly sob's health pool. Having already come back to life after facing out on a death and managing to kill 2 additional victims along the way we came across the following scenario.

Reiko was down to a 1hp (unbeknownst to us at the time the final health token was blank) and the Evo had 2. Reiko exhausted from running around the map, saving victims and fighting this monstrous creature took her axe, let out a battle cry and swung her axe into the chest of the beast hoping to kill it one last time

With a weak attack.

Cue the cruel nature of fate, of the 4 dice rolled >!(an additional die was added due to her signature weapons effect when rolling weak attacks)!< 3 resulted in a failure (1s and 2s) with only a single success (5).

The Evo was attacked for 3hp causing the alien to let out a final shriek as it went down finally. Unfortunately Reiko's injuries were too much and she too collapsed next to the beast and faded.

Would this technically be considered a success even tho both the girl and the killer die?

And would the death order be

1. Killer

2. Final Girl

Since the weak attack card shows the hit icon 1st and then the health loss, meaning she does the attack 1st and then loses the health.

I know he was asleep for a couple of centuries but goddamn talk about an explosive reintroduction.

Tried to make a final stand at Ralph's Garage but he was just too powerful.Absolutely love how thematic this FF is. The possessed children mechanic is fun. The location feels a bit too spread thin with the spaces but doesn't hurt the overall experience. How would you guys rate this FF?

Update: The FF is A Rotten Harvest from series 4.

Had an absolute blast trying out cartographers. Initially I wasn't really a huge fan of roll and writes (mainly cause my hand writing is straight up dookie). However, scrolling through the boardgame subreddits I came across a few custom 3d printed templates people use to play cartographers. Inspired by those I got a base 3d printed and bought several hundred acrylic 8mm cubes from AliExpress.

The game turns into this abstract puzzle where I don't have to cringe at my hand writing but I'll definitely be using the provided maps for when playing with more people.

Ended up getting a score of 8 on my 4th try, so going forward I shall be known as KatographerQuinn : Apprentice Surveyor.

Any other roll and writes which might be interesting to look into?

Been thinking of ways to enhance my final girl playthroughs and decided to try and get some custom npc mini's printed out that won't crowd up the board. Also an Evo (technically it's a xeno hehe!).

They definitely do have some issues standing up sometimes and can get knocked down if the fan is on a bit too fast but on the flip side they can be stored in the core set. Might swap between the two sets for playthroughs to spice it up here and there.

Been collecting for around 6 months now, so far some of the highlights have been,

1. Trailblazers - such an amazing puzzly game for the form factor.

2. Final Girl - absolutely love the feature films and probably would be my most played, if it wasn't for the setup and teardown time.( Especially on weekdays).

3. Regicide - the game that started this hobby, the story and the fact it's just a regular deck of cards is insane. Love the companion app and the gameplay loop. Super thinky. Can't wait to see their next few games.

Looking to expand the collection over the next couple of months by adding in a few new final girl ffs (Raptors Games ftw). Regicide Inferno and maybe spirit island?

Any recommendations y'all can think of? So far I mainly looked into themetic and abstract games. Love an easy setup but maybe it's time to dive into something a bit more heavy. Replayability is definitely something I look for since bringing down boardgames isn't always the easiest to where I live.

Ps : Any suggestions of spooky/gothicy yet cozy would be great!

Just got the falconwood files and had a question regarding the map, is the right top part of the map (the shopping mall) supposed to be on fire? This FF takes place around summer time right? ( One of the events mentions that it takes place around the 4th July) So it's not like an fade into fall as well?

Nothing's mentioned in the special rules for falconwood but the more I look at it the more it looks like that area is on fire. Am I tripping?

A few weeks ago I posted regarding whether I should dive into "into the void" or "a knock at the door" as my 2nd FF. Got some amazing replies for both FF's but I ended up choosing A knock at the door since it was the easiest jump from happy trials. And what a journey that was!.

1st of all it was super fun to play against 3 killers. 6 HP per killer seems small until you realize how aggressive they can be. At the start victims were dying left and right and I had no way to damage them sufficiently so it would hurt,and then it hit me .... the crafted items.... I had been collecting different resources times and never actually crafting anything with them. So I quickly crafted up a spear with my knife and wood I had and got to work. Each retaliation/weak attack now had a beefy kick to it as I kept keeping the killers at bay with my trusty spear. Sprinkle in some lucky final health tokens and I managed to defend wingard cottage with 2 HP remaining.

Can't wait to replay this FF and see all the different variation of craftable weapons and to really homealone the 3 killers. Highly recommend it as a nice stepping stone from camp happy trails.

Been loving the game so far and decided to enhance the game with some minis, they aren't the official miniatures but rather Grace Ashcroft & the zombie chef from RE:9. Gonna take it for a spin and see how it goes.

My 2nd attempt at battling Hans trying to survive a summer night at happy trials. For most of the playthrough Hans was fixated with the damned, who I dubbed as "Katie" for this playthrough.

&#x200B;

Managed to jump in and out of spaces with hans as he was moving towards Katie with the help of my lucky rabbit's foot and pepper spray to beat him down to a single health point (and some kick ass furious strikes !).

&#x200B;

And there he was the final health token to be relieved, Hans was knocked down and only had killed a single victim so far my luck was on the up and up, I looked at Katie over at the next space (not pictured here) and gave her a "we won" smirk when suddenly the ground shook.... I had forgotten the golden rule of horror, the killer always comes back. I flipped over the final health token and to my shock I saw a single health marker on old Hansy. I stood there in shock as be made a b line towards Katie and threw his meat cleaver, impaling poor Katie and there she stood lifelessly, still. Shocked as I was I knew I had to stop him. With my remaining walk, one weak attack I limped over and ended him for good. The night ended with katie , hans and Jerry all leaving us. And as the sun rose over the once terrified Summer camp. We all took a pause to have a moment to ourselves. I will avenge Katie one day.

&#x200B;

But for now Hans is defeated and camp happy trails is back in business. You could still feel the uneasiness In the air as we all walked away ,going back into our own lives, now forever changed and linked to Camp Happy trials. I have a sneaky feeling Hans won't stay dead for long...

Got 2 feature films down finally from a relative that was coming back home (unfortunately ,I live in a country where most people still think boardgames mean monoploy and uno,not that I'm complaining.They are great games I just always wanted more)

Played my 1st playthrough as Laurie. I had help around 4 victims escape and Hans was down to 6 health points, I thought to myself I was "maybe this game is too easy". Only to end up with an event card (an explosion in the docks with myself and 2 victims) + a terror card that basically shot up his bloodlust to reveal his dark power and then boomm.....there I was laying on the floor, bleeding out as he just stood there menacingly.

Can't wait to try again and get my revenge on Hans the next time. Any advice for a newbie?

I also got into the void. Gonna try and play a couple of games on Happy Trails before I jump into That one.
