In case you didn't know, the name of the first terror card, "Who Goes There?", is the title of the book that the move The Thing was based on.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I forgot about that! Good catch :)

[@dozensofdonuts8695]

31:42 "disco infer-NOOOOO" That was brilliant lol

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha, best moment

[@keving82383]

Mike, I love how much fun you have during your playthroughs. You're constantly laughing and making little jokes and I love it. Your videos always feel genuine. Thank you.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much!! It definitely depends on the game though… I don’t have fun with all of them 😅😅😅

[@mischiefpuppy9859]

I believe 26:29 if there is a victim and a final girl in the same space, the victim always gets attacked first UNLESS a card (event cards i think) says you carry over the damage You dont have to listen to this but i think its thematic and a bit easier on you sometimes

[@Michael.Virtus]

Great playthrough. Thanks for showing 'The Thing', Mike. Besides the mandatory Core Box I plan to buy only 2 Feature Films: 'Into the Void' (Alien) and 'Panic at Station 2891' (The Thing), because these are one of my favorite movies of all time. I just realized the number of Station 2891 is 1982 backwards which is the year when 'The Thing' movie came out.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh fun observation! And The Thing and Alien are also two of my favorite horror movies of all times, up there with The Shining

[@psymon1981]

Good job! I got this as my first Final Girl set yesterday and had my first play through last night. Thought I'd have a look just to make sure I was understanding everything right (and to get some tips).

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hope you have fun!

[@AlwayzFresh]

I started this hobby 3 years ago, and for me this is the only Kickstarter I have seen worth going all in. Very excited for season 2.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Same here!

[@eugenekhoo990]

Same here too

[@Paper_Smith]

I love hearing how excited you get when you role a star haha I’m the exact same way! I play with my boyfriend and whenever the blue boyfriend meeple comes out, he always makes me try and save him 😂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nah, gotta let the boyf die! It’s final GIRL, not final couple ;)

[@jasein2theriver]

Really great video, this is a tough game to showcase but you are doing a fantastic job. The zoomed in shots/editing are great.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks! Takes a while but I think it’s worth it :)

[@dannyholland6180]

Loved the ending where you just threw all the cards on him and made a flamethrower sound. Definitely something I’d do 😂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Lol, I forgot about that

[@johnberry5296]

This looks absolutely amazing. I didn’t back so really hope there are some UK copies to retail . Want all of the series 2 sets!😊

[@wei-jenoldschoolmeeple7464]

What an amazing final turn! Great playthrough!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Toady1018]

Thank you for the play through. So far season two seems like a step up from season 1, based on your play through and Paula’s play through of the intruders. I am waiting for my season 1 to come in, now I have to convince my wife to let me get season 2. Thanks again

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good luck in that conversation!!! 😅😅

[@TheSludgeMan]

You like to live dangerously, rolling dice in between your meeples like that 😂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It cost me several times in this play 😅😅😭

[@tavanesh9122]

Great showcase of this feature film! Thanks for bringing it to the table. I might be wrong, but it seems like you had more than the hand limit of 10 cards at the start of round five, however.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It's likely, since I just realized I forgot about the hand limit, lol!!!

[@joelcole161]

Ah, looks great! I backed all the Season 1 content, and the Season 2 KS launched before I really explored much of the first batch ... so I let it pass me by. Very much regretting it now, but I'm hopeful I'll be able to pick up the individual titles in retail after this round fulfills. Nice video, Mike - I always enjoy your playthroughs.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I’m sure you’ll be able to find them!

[@micpom]

Hahaha !!! I laughed so hard at the end, great playthrough. Can't wait to receive it. Should be soon I think. Close call, this game is sooo difficlt to win. Nice job Mike ! 👍👍

[@OneStopCoopShop]

A very tense ending for sure!

[@Jeroen72]

Thiis looks like great fun. Cant wait for season 2 :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Same here! I wanna play the alien one 😅

[@Keanotix]

Just tried this today, bit of a pain to set-up but a vastly different experience than some of the later sets. I delayed testing two of the Exposed until nearly the last two turns ( the first one died of Frostbite, and he turned out to be Safe 😞) I did kill one of them with a knife and critical blow, but the bad roll I got killed me in the process. First time I managed to run the terror deck down too.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

This is an extra tense set in the game for sure! Sounds like an epic, tragic ending to the play!

[@MerlinsManor]

Thanks for this. I couldn't wrap my head around what it meant by shuffling the mutation cards (the 3 larger cards that represent each mutant) as there were 6 cards (2 for each mutant) and then some had killer actions and other were a person. At first I shuffled all 6, then I realized they had different mutants on them so I figured you shuffled each set for a mutant, but then I was like, what does it mean if the one with just a person comes up. Seems like the instructions could have had more detail there... although once I saw the answer it seems like it should have been obvious.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad to help!

[@geoffreyhawley503]

I agree with you that the rulebook was unclear.

[@Pryde551]

Ahh this one looks great! I have everything for Season One, but I am going to have to pick this up at my LGS when it arrives!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hopefully soon!

[@nifarious]

35:04 Gotta listen to this finale on repeat. Finally tried this out myself too last night. Still digesting the rules but with the hidden monsters, this version of the game plays out pretty cleanly. That frostbite is brutal, though.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Stay indoors!! 😂😜

[@davidko9289]

That was a nailbiter. I saw a few effects that scaled based on the number of enemies, but it does seem swingy.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah, the big one is that the finale effect doesn't do anything until only one monster is left, but still, it would be way tougher to have 2 or 3!

[@jlohry]

Thanks for the play through. Cannot wait until Season 2 arrives!! So glad I backed this one!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hope we all enjoy it. I expect we will :)

[@InvertedWIng]

"OH MY GOD! YOU'RE NOT LEWIS! YOU'RE A HORRIBLE HULKING MONSTROSITY OUT TO ASSIMILATE US ALL! AAAAAGGGHHHH! By the way, can you just wait a few minutes while I test out Frank here?" "sUrE, nO pRoB!"

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHA, hey, Lewis ran off to eat some other people. Frank's got nothing else to do. No harm no foul!

[@InvertedWIng]

@@OneStopCoopShop Such a polite abomination.

[@MerlinsManor]

BTW, if the killer had not died (extra hearts on the token), it would have immediately ended your action phase.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good point! Lucky he went down :)

[@uchti]

Great gameplay video :) Will check out the other feature films that I dont own :) The dog is less loyal than you make it out to be though ;) It wouldve run when you took damage from failing some cards earlier and not been around to damage the opponent or protect from its 4 damage attack! I think you are actually dead there^^

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh darn, I think you might be right! Guess I'll just have to go play again ;)

[@TheAlmightyGameGenie]

Incase anyone's at all curious, I did some quick math (correct me if I'm wrong on this math, as I said this was quick math) but there is a roughly a 61.11% (22/36) chance of getting just 1 killer, 35.19%(19/54) of getting 2 killers, and a 3.7% (1/27) chance of getting all 3 killers. Edit: Should not have done math while going to bed lol fixed it!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for that!

[@TheAlmightyGameGenie]

@@OneStopCoopShop No problem! Looking so forward to playing this one especially, since The Thing is my all time favorite horror film, so wanted to do the math myself when you explained how it worked so I know how dead I can expect to be haha

[@user-cx7dx7pu3v]

3 Killers should be 1/27 I think? Each time we test and is killer chance is 1/3, 1/3^3=1/27. And my result is 11/18(61.1%) for 1 Killer, 19/54(35.2%) for 2 Killers and 1/27(3.7%) for 3 Killers.

[@TheAlmightyGameGenie]

@@user-cx7dx7pu3v yeah I messed up, this is why I shouldn't try to do math as I'm going to bed haha. Fixed it

[@uchti]

@@user-cx7dx7pu3v shouldnt it be 1/3 for 1 killer? Because there is only 1 way this happens: 2/3 for the first test (human), 1/2 for the second test (human again). thats 2/3*1/2*1 = 1/3. = 33.33%

[@JoeHuddleston]

Flexing the Hoplomachus dice tower.

It’s the only dice tower I own 😅

[@charlez2729]

Final Girl is supposed to hit port Feb 6th in US

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That's awesome! Can't wait for my pledge!

[@user-cx7dx7pu3v]

I thought here is a special setup "Before setting up the Item decks, find a Two-Way Radio and place it in your inventory", did you get this item before game start?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Darn it, good call! I knew there was something to make the helicopter a bit easier but forgot it for the video :(

[@penoyer79]

very similar to Hostage Negotiator.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yup. Same designer and same basic system

[@Anwar-AT]

Nice gameplay ❤ But why do u roll if u/ victims are equidistant. Don’t u get to choose?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I messed up a bunch of stuff for victims in this video, so that might be one as well ;)

[@alexpartenopei1021]

Am a big fan of Hostage Negotiator but the theme of Final Girl is not really my thing but it does look great. Do you think the differences/improvements in FG would compensate for the lack of excitement of the theme?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Maybe? A lot of my enjoyment is in the theme, since I love horror movies. But that being said, I do love the movement aspect which is generally missing from hostage negotiatior

[@alexpartenopei1021]

Do each of the ‘Movies’ have a different feel to them? So if I was careful picking ones that mirror movies I did like (The Thing, Alien) maybe they got anither buyer!

[@user-cx7dx7pu3v]

@@alexpartenopei1021 each box has really different things to make sure it is unique and have flavor of original movie, and The Thing and Alien is my favourite boxes of S2, they are really insane to me.

[@aaronstark5060]

I just played this one and it didn’t go so hot. I had all 3 exposed victims become assimilated and 2 of them quickly ganged up on me. I might have still had a fighting chance if they didn’t have 4 extra health from minor dark powers so instead of being able to quickly dispatch one, I basically just scratched it before they just ate my face.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sounds about right when it’s all 3 😅

[@aaronstark5060]

@@OneStopCoopShop It’s alright because I took it out on the Ratchet Lady and just destroyed her.

[@JLH111176]

I know you had limited space but roll the die on the board with all the tokens and meeples to knock them of the spaces didn't seem like a good idea

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hahaha, definitely a bad idea. Always a challenge to get the camera close enough to see the action in an organized way 😅

[@mentalist71087]

Can you use the series 1 core box with the series 2 features ?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I believe everything is modular and compatible, but you need the series 1 core regardless to play anything else

[@mentalist71087]

@@OneStopCoopShop brilliant thank u just picked up the core box and the organism and forgot to check if it was compatible thanks for the reply :)

doesn’t the finale card say if you’re horror lever is above a 6 during the killer phase, you lose the game?? Maybe I’m reading that card wrong

[@OneStopCoopShop]

You might be right. I was pretty stressed at the end so my literacy level likely dropped 😅😅

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I think I said this at the start of the video, but the Van Ryder team gave me an early copy of just this set at PAX U. Those ones were air shipped prototypes I think, so it doesn’t mean all of our copies are coming soon unfortunately

[@commandershepard9920]

@@OneStopCoopShop My bad, I didn't get very far into the video because I won't want any spoilers and was going to watch it after! Dang, can't wait.

[@andrewlira8259]

I feel like the helicopter needs a slight rework. It should move passively and fly faster should make move it at an accelerated pace.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That would certainly make the map a lot easier. Simple enough to houserule it though

[@Keanotix]

It depends on how many of the terror cards are from the Station's set. Most if not all of them have a frostbite > Heli symbol on them. Also one of the events is a Radio Operator as a Special Victim, who can help move the Heli along using Time units or something.

[@godinneludovic7781]

test item shouldn't be above face up in each item decks ?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I didn't fully understand your question (whether you think they SHOULD or should NOT be above), but in this play the test kits were kept separate from the item decks, with one nearby each, so that (as in round 2) when I searched I could also take a free test kit. Does that answer your question?

[@godinneludovic7781]

@@OneStopCoopShop I guess yes. I thought it was above the items deck itself.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah, above as in physically above/north of them in their own spots. I did that in this video, but the camera doesn’t pan that high so it’s tough to tell

[@godinneludovic7781]

@@OneStopCoopShop English is not my native language. I confounded "above" and "on the top" of the items deck.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@godinneludovic7781 Ohhhh, I get it now. Yes, to clarify, the test items are kept separate from the item decks, nearby, so that you still can draw the top of the deck when you search and ALSO take a test if you want. Hope that helps!

[@void2756]

You are doing the Panic mechanism incorrectly. If the Killer kills a Victim in a space where there are other Victims present during this round, the rest panic and flee to adjacent spaces. Not every single one. After all, why would someone in the outdoors panic because a death happened several rooms over and they couldn't possibly know?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah, AJ pointed that out after I had finished editing the video. My survivors apparently had psychic awareness powers

[@user-cx7dx7pu3v]

I think you are wrong too, the correct one is if victim(s) died this turn (no matter why and no matter where), and there is/are victim(s) at the lacation with Killer, then they panic, died victim(s) do not need to be killed by killer or be with panic victim(s).

[@Keanotix]

To be fair, in the Organism rules, the Exposed Victims (Red, Grey and Black) DO panic every Panic phase regardless. The idea being that Killer(s) are still stalking the halls while incognito. So it's to simulate that.

[@doreenbonick1596]

Is it just me or is anyone else wondering why he never used the close call for it's intended purpose. He could just reroll one of the bad dice to try and get something better. I only ever see him discarding it to turn a three or four roll into a success. Maybe he is not much of a gambler. 😂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Rolling a die with a 1/3 chance of it becoming better isn't smart gambling ;)

[@doreenbonick1596]

Haha, I'm a gambler though. I do it anyways. Maybe that's why I loose.... like a lot... 😅😂

[@MerlinsManor]

I do the same thing unless I cannot use it to change the die face as that guarantees a success instead of a 1 in 3 chance (and at the cost of just 1 more card).
