How to Play Five Nights at Freddy's Survive 'til 6AM Game

#tabletopgames #fivenightsatfreddys #boardgames
In this video, I look at the rules of Five Nights at Freddy's Survive 'til 6AM, a board game for 1-2 players ages 13 and up.
From the publisher:
You are the night shift security guard for a Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and it is your duty to check the security cameras and keep the equipment in good, working order.... and beware the animatronics that activate on their own at night! Each turn you’ll check the cameras and react to the movements in the dark. Choose to turn on the lights or close doors to protect yourself-but watch out! Each reaction depletes your limited power. Keep Freddy and his friends out of your office until you can clock off at 6:00 am! Highlights: Game by Prospero Hall Ages 13 and up For 1-2 players Playing Time: 20 minutes

Want to see the game in action? Here's my single-player playthrough video -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4S4mKtrfciKobM

[@fortnightlovergaming185]

Thank you for posting this how to play because the rule book does not make the rules easy to learn

[@TabletopJason]

Yeah, some of it was kind of vague. I played a bunch with my son and we figured things out together. Check out my solo play video too if you'd like a demo.

[@fortnightlovergaming185]

I did I keep losing to power

[@DarkPassenger07]

Love this game. Extremely difficult to win.

[@TabletopJason]

It's definitely got some interesting rules. Did you watch my playthrough video?

[@DarkPassenger07]

@TabletopJason yes, I picked this up 2 years ago and still find it very tough to succeed lol.

[@TabletopJason]

@@DarkPassenger07 I'm planning to a 2-player video with my son soon. But yeah, 1-player is really hard.

[@anonymous_emo674]

Thank you so much! Just got this for Christmas and the rules didnt make sense to me in the instructions. This was really helpful 👏 🙂 😊

[@anonymous_emo674]

Almost had a mental breakdown trying to understand this game by myself 😅

[@aaronsaxon7033]

Omg same, my brother got this for christmas and we are looking up how to play it.

[@TabletopJason]

Glad it was helpful. The instructions definitely seemed lacking. Had to play a couple of times with my son to work things out :)

[@TabletopJason]

Yikes! Hope you enjoyed it after things made more sense.

[@TabletopJason]

It's an okay game. Not a lot of replay value, in my opinion. But definitely different than a lot of other games I've played. Check out my solo play video if you'd like a demo.

[@gregoryfouse1511]

Thank you, this explained the game a whole lot better.

[@TabletopJason]

Glad it helped. For being such a simple game, the rules don't make a lot of sense until you play it a couple of times.

[@mj_ayoo]

thank you for the how-to and review!

[@TabletopJason]

Hope it was mostly clear. I'm planning to 2-play playthrough with my son soon. Thanks for watching :)

[@MartinezLopezFamily]

Omg thank you so much! I got this for my daughter for Christmas and I was so confused on how to play it

[@TabletopJason]

You're welcome. Hope you enjoy the game!

[@MitzyDoodle13]

I read in the instructions that if you run out of power, you can't react to any of your cards, you have to play them out. Technically, I think you can still make it to 6 am although it's really difficult. Of course, if you really want to be close to the video game, you can't do anything but wait until Freddy gets into your room but if you want to, you could do it the other way. Either way is fun, I think, because it can be challenging and rewarding or you can be creative and do the sound effects for the Freddy card and slowly trot him to the office, laugh, and then... WWWHHHHHAAAAAA!!!! Jumpscare Freddy!!

[@TabletopJason]

Yeah, for what it is, the game is not as simple as it seems. Thanks for watching :)

[@FOX_u.b.i.v.a.e.t]

Goddamn. You save my life. Thank you so much for explaining 🙏🙏🙏

[@TabletopJason]

Thanks, hope that helped.

[@chrissiephillips6499]

Thank you for this. The instructions were not easy to understand.

[@TabletopJason]

Thanks. The instructions make this game seem more complicated than it actually is.

[@noahsnonsense1425]

THIS WAS VERE HELPFUL

[@TabletopJason]

It's a fun game. Thanks for watching!

[@noahsnonsense1425]

YAY

[@Dolingo]

I'm Brazilian, and I decided to learn English just to play this game (I already spoke English but not much)

[@TabletopJason]

Well, I hope you weren't disappointed!

[@leaf1820]

Hey! I got this game for my sis’s birthday and we played 1 game so far, and only with the help of your awesome video! One question, I ended up with an animatronic card on my hallway cam and it was the only card in that cam. What would I do in that instance? Please and thank you! The directions that come with it are less than helpful!

[@TabletopJason]

Thanks for watching :) I think it would advance toward the next card stack.

[@MitzyDoodle13]

You know, this may be where the power comes in. I think you would have to keep rolling the die and or dice so it wouldn't get into your office. Doing nothing is what moves it one spot toward your office. So, keep using power until either you run out and they get you, 6am comes or when you can't react to one that will move into your office eventually. If you think about it each card with an arrow represents an action as in turning on lights and using the camera more than necessary so by that logic, I think you can hold out until your power goes out. Just keep reacting to it until 6am...if you can.

[@TabletopJason]

@@MitzyDoodle13 Great observation!

[@TabletopJason]

Here's my unboxing video of this game -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHykkISHgLxni5I

[@bigsalmon7973]

Thanms for this run down i definitely think i was playing this wrong 😅.

[@TabletopJason]

Thanks hope it helps

[@bigsalmon7973]

@@TabletopJason it did. I saw my mistakes and it was pretty fun solo

[@Spiralredd]

I bought this and tried reading the rules and they make no sense

[@TabletopJason]

Yeah, I had to play through a bunch of sample games to make sense out it.

[@guilhermebranco8377]

What happen if a player run out of cards?

[@TabletopJason]

It doesn't say in the instruction book, but I believe that since it's a game with a fixed number of turns, it isn't possible to run out of cards.

[@CooleGuy456]

You cannot lose the animatronic cards unless you die

[@TabletopJason]

@@CooleGuy456 Yup. That makes it all the more frustrating and difficult.

[@Lxclips7]

I’m missing 3purple cards

[@TabletopJason]

Did you buy it used, or did the cards somehow get left out of the box?

[@loadingtekno]

I didn’t understand absolutely anything

[@TabletopJason]

Sorry. My playthrough might be a little more clear. Check it out here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4S4mKtrfciKobM

[@loadingtekno]

Hahaah that’s alright! Thank you very much, just watched your play through. I got this game today and I am loving it

[@TabletopJason]

@@loadingtekno They game's actually not that bad once you get the rules straight. It's still pretty difficult to win.

[@michael-ronin]

This game will go down as the worst board game in history. Stupid.

[@TabletopJason]

Definitely a gimmick game.
