11:46 - that's what my husband said, cut to him playing Final Girl non-stop... bought series 1 & 2... and now LOVES solos! Which is good bc he's retired and I work. He's so happy he doesn't have to wait for me to get his game on!!
Solo games are having a moment right now, so it's a good time for him to get into solo gaming! I think what's going to keep me from getting all the Final Girl stuff isn't just seldom playing solo; it's that the game, even an easier scenario on the easiest level, is still too hard to win for me!😆 But I am considering getting the Christmas one at the North Pole because in lists it's usually considered one of the easier ones, and I do like seasonal games! I think most of the Final Girl boxes are going to be really frustrating for me; I'm sooo not the Final Girl🤣
I was resistant to Final Girl for the longest time because the theme is not for me (I'm a big scaredy cat! LOL). I love solo gaming though so it stayed on my radar and finally I was drawn in by the Krampus theme. I enjoyed my first play despite losing terribly. 😅I don't think I'll ever get all the feature films but I think it will be one I come back to at least every holiday season.
I'm the same way! I don't like being afraid so I don't seek out scary movies, but I did eventually try it and enjoyed the rhythm even though I lost terribly.
I'm considering getting the North Pole themed Final Girl because I like seasonal games, but mostly because it's supposed to be one of the easier ones. Final Girl is really long and hard (for me) so I think both the play time and difficulty of it will keep me from getting most of them. Losing most games & taking a long time doing it just makes me feel like I've wasted an afternoon. I like the system, but the effort feels too futile to play often. It may end up relegated to Halloween & Christmas (if I get the Christmas themed one).
The rhythm of the game is very compelling! I sort of forgot about the whole slasher theme & just worked the mechanics as a puzzle. It's very difficult for me to win and I feel like the game just drags out too long, especially for a (nearly inevitable) loss!🙄
My tea today is an organic black Chai with a splash of egg nog. Costco started stocking egg nog, so I started buying it :P I'm trying real hard to not buy Final Girl. I don't really play Solo games, and the ones I do own I feel like I should play more. Bullet, Paperback Adventures, and Kinfire Delve are all just sitting on my shelf waiting for me to come back to them. Eventually.
That tea & eggnog combo sounds delish😋 I'll have to try a splash of eggnog in my tea! I, too, have a bunch of solo games that seldom get played😕 Button Shy solo games are the ones most likely for me to play because they're so small there's hardly any setup & they play very fast. I'm really not crazy about the amount of setup for Final Girl or how long it takes to play🙄
We just got final girl too! Looking forward to play it (it’s more a Joana’s thing than Christian’s, but we will both try!) We got the cabin one, but if we like it, we’ll get the North Pole too!, thanks for another great video 🥰
I tried Werewolf over a decade ago. I had never done a social deduction game and it was at a New Years Eve party where I knew exactly 2 people and everyone else was a stranger. I get told that we are playing Werewolf and there is a group of 20 people and someone is running the game. There are no time limits to anything and it was brutal! I don't think I vibe with social deduction, especially with people I don't know. I remember there were two games and both times I was just a humble villager and no one was killing me or whenever they tried I was randomly saved by another player unbeknownst to me. So I sat in this circle for hours, my two pals killed way earlier and I was in the final 5 both times. It was just so long, tedious, and unpleasant. I feel like the way you did it, with a smaller group of people you know, is perhaps a better way. I'm glad you had a good time and have been enjoying some spooky gaming! I always love hearing what you have been getting up to each week!
I really think the app helped tremendously running the game! Also all the versions of Werewolf I've seen have a max player count of either 7 or 10. Your Werewolf experience was probably made worse by having too many players---and no timer for the discussion! I think the game is probably going to be more fun with people you know. And it's really pretty short when you have the right player count! I don't think it'd be as much fun if it went on for a long time. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with it😕
Nice list! Final girl... I know it's a good game but something keeps me from buying it... Skulls of Sedlec, I love button shy games, but just like you the theme made me doubt until now. You think you will buy the expansions? My favourite spooky game: The Bloody Inn and its expansion The Carnies 👌👀
I've heard good things about The Bloody Inn---it's on a lot of Halloween lists! I think I might pick up some expansions for Skulls of Sedlec because additional card types would add in some nifty new challenges! The concept really lends itself to expansions! We do love variability in games!
Final Girl shouldn't take you that long to play. Also, North Pole is the same difficulty level as the other ones. Where did you hear it was easier? BTW - I love tea as well and I really like that you start each episode talking about your mug if tea. It makes me want to put the kettle on!
I don't recall specifically, but I browsed around and found quite a few people ranking Final Girl boxes easiest to hardest. There does seem to be a concensus that some boxes are easier and some are more difficult. As for how long it takes to play...I haven't timed myself, but it feels like it goes on forever😆

@@teaNgames I'm with you! It also doesn't help that I have terrible dice rolling luck!
If ever there was a game that needed loaded dice, it's Final Girl!😆

Good picks there, Bullet is one of my favs!!

@@teaNgames people also created some custom roles and there were 4 or 5 werewolves each game. Oy it was long
@JymmiF Wow😱
