Hello, All! I was all set to go and launch on October 6, but my list building was anemic at best. I’ve moved out to early 2027. But every day I see a list builder, marketer, “we’ll help you launch” ad and I don’t trust any of them. Are there any that you might recommend. It’s a small card game with a $2000 goal.
Thanks everyone.
I’ve had this for about 25 years. When I moved the glass cracked and I never got it fixed. But it’s been decorating my basement by itself unhung and brooding alone. Still a huge Clive fan, but if I was to sell it to a fan who might appreciate it more, what do you think the value might be. (And the first person who says “it’s worthless, I’ll give you a $1” will be visited by The Arsonist in the painting. lol.)
Hello Final Girl fellowship! I wanted to share a new storage idea I came up with for my Final Girl collection.
I 3D printed a little video store to hold the minis, along with a matching VHS tape that holds the Final Girl cards. The store can hold 20 minis (2 seasons worth, I believe), and 20 sleeved cards are in the classic memory-inducing video tape.
I was trying to come up with something that felt like it actually belonged with Final Girl instead of just being another storage box, and I’m pretty happy with how this turned out.
Figured you guys might appreciate it. Would love your feedback and if anyone wants to know more about it feel free to hit me up.
As many of you may know I designed and printed a core box, box of props, and accessories box organizer. Today I finished my Terror Vision Killer Keeper. It holds 12 killer miniatures (or I can turn one of the pairs of boxes into one larger one with a divider). The fun part is it’s stackable and… the lid looks like an old television set. What do you all think? Would love your opinions.
Just added Once Upon a Full Moon, as I’ve heard it’s a solid simple set. And my LGS just started carrying some FFs so I had to thank them by picking one up: Madness in the Dark. These are numbers 6 and 7.
What is the difference between Vignettes and Feature Films in the Final Girl games?
I recently posted about this but I wanted to add some more pictures and share details on the final version. I’ve been playing a ton of Final Girl lately, and after adding the Box of Props and Accessories Box, I wanted a way to keep all of the stuff I use every game together instead of pulling components out of multiple boxes.
So I designed this.
It holds everything from the Core Box, Box of Props, and Accessories Box, including all 19 dice, Action Cards, Final Girl cards, Eyes Only cards, victim meeples, health hearts, tokens, and all 12 deluxe health tokens.
A few things I specifically wanted when I designed it:
I printed mine in matte black and then experimented with a subtle blood-spatter paint job, which is what you’re seeing in most of the photos.
I ended up being happy enough with the design that I’ve put it up on Etsy for anyone who wants one (DM me for the link), but I also just wanted to share it here because this community is largely responsible for how deep down the Final Girl rabbit hole I’ve gone. 😂
Would love to hear what you guys think, especially if there’s anything you’d want in an organizer that I somehow missed.
I’ve been working on FIXR for quite a while, and I’m excited to finally have the Kickstarter pre-launch page live.
FIXR is a fast-paced salvage card game for 1–5 players set in the world of Sand Slicers. The race is over, the track is covered in wreckage, and your crew of FIXR bots heads out to scavenge Engines, Hulls, and Vents before rival crews beat you to them.
On your turn, you can salvage a visible Part, dig for something better, or lock in a completed Build. It’s designed to be quick to learn, play in about 10–15 minutes, and have that immediate “let’s play again” feel.
The physical game is now in production, and the Kickstarter pre-launch page is live. If it sounds like your kind of game, I’d really appreciate a follow.
I’m also happy to answer questions about the game, development process, or anything else.

A couple weeks ago I posted a 3D printed tray and cover for Final Girl to include the Box of Props. Well of course I now also have the Tear Dice (because you always need to buy that next thing for FG) and so I created a full new design. It works with sleeved and unsleeved cards, holds all 19 dice, has removable "bowls" for hearts and all the miscellaneous tokens and tears. The victims all fit nicely into a wide coffin shaped holder. Plus there is a slot at the top to keep all the booklets from the Core Game and both the add on boxes. The file can be downloaded on my site at SandSlicers.com - just click the downloads button at the top. If you are interested in me printing one for you, dm me and we can talk.
Here are a bunch of pics. I painted mine in flat black and then added red highlights and some blood splatter!
So, as a certified obsessive now about Final Girl, I of course found the accessories box with tear dice and additional playmat and ordered it. I first thought Tear Dice felt like cheating. That’s not how the game is run, but it certainly did break the fall a little bit when you got absolutely destroyed with a pair of 1s and 2s.
First: wow it happens a lot more than I thought.
Second: I play it as a “reserve of tears” up to 5 that I can dig into to “buy” the perk I want. I have 3 years, for example but want to buy 2 one tear perks, I do that. Or save for the higher value ones.
Short story long: I still lost but still had fun. And the tear options seemed like a nice additional dynamic.
Do you all use tear dice? Am I doing it right?
I used the tool on the Van Ryder games site. So cool.
I received a lot of thoughtful—and very honest—feedback on my original FIXR box design. I took it back to the drawing board and reworked the entire package.
The finished box will be approximately 2.5 × 3.5 inches.
Does this version communicate the game more clearly—and would it make you want to pick it up?
Hi all! I’m about to send my card game to print for the first batch of testers and influencer copies. It’s a relatively simple game - learn in 5 minutes, games last 15-20.
This is the first two pages of the rule book. I’d love your feedback. I’m also including an illustration from the last page that illustrates what a Sand Slicer looks like.
So my questions for you all: Is it engaging? Is it too vague? Does it make you want to play? Does the world and the game sound interesting? I realize it’s a 2 page spread from a 2.5” x 3.5” booklet, but hoping it pulls players in. Any comments - positive and critical - are welcome. Thank you!!!
Got Maple Lane yesterday and I really dig the dynamic and the asleep/awake mechanic. (Got lazy and lost my first round).
I sleeve all my cards. The boiler room mechanic is super cool but I find it kinda clumsy especially in sleeved cards. Any tips or advice?
So, I have seen a bunch of inserts on the various 3d print sites that try to make it easy to keep all the Final Girl pieces together. But they all tried to shoe horn them into one of the existing boxes. I decided to create my own "big box" that can hold all the pieces and parts for the Core Set plus the Box of Props. It also holds all the action cards, Final Girls from whatever sets you have, and the unique character items (eyes only) for them. I made it easier to pluck victims from the box as well as added a removable, easy access tray for heart health markers. I also am quite pleased with the coffin that keeps all the tiny little pieces like the time marker and blood lust splat. There's even a special spot just for the horror track marker!
Let me know what you think!
Myself, I’ve gotten all 3, but I’m curious what the common setup looks like for you. If you have either the app, the Box of Props, playmats, or any combo thereof, let me know how you play Final Girl! (I ran out of options in the survey, so app and mats is missing)
The latest FF I’ve gotten is Hell to Pay because Hellraiser and Clive Barker in general have always been some of my favorite horror. But is it just me or is that one incredibly difficult. I was done in my first run in 18 minutes. The Horror wheel is a Bear.
Thank you all for the comments and feedback on my original card design. I've listened and taken alot of your input to heart. You were right on a bunch of things, so I wanted to share where I've come down. (There are multiple parts from different manufacturers. Here's all the engines.
And, if you want to check the original from a few days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/BoardgameDesign/comments/1utwuqh/enough_photoshop_to_be_dangerous/
I have enough photoshop skill to get by. But I’ve decided to design the cards for my own card game coming to crowdfunding in october. Would love the group’s impression on these. The style, the look, etc. The parts jave been taken from the 3d CAD I created for game parts. Ive abused some photoshop filters to get this comic book look.
The game features scouring a salvage field to pull scrap parts and build your best vehicle. It’s based on the big box game world I’m creating for spring 2027 release.
Honest opinions appreciated.
