Final Girl: Starter Set – Core Box + Happy Trails Horror

Everything you need to survive your first horror movie.

The Final Girl: Starter Set gives you everything you need to start playing Final Girl: the Final Girl Core Box plus the complete Happy Trails Horror Feature Film.

Inspired by classic slasher movies, Final Girl is a solo horror board game that puts you in the role of the last heroine standing. Manage your time, gather what you need, protect potential victims when you can, and face down a killer who would very much prefer that you didn't make it to the credits.

The Core Box provides the shared rules and components that power the Final Girl system. Happy Trails Horror provides your first killer, location, and Final Girls.

Put the two together and you're ready to play.

Your First Feature Film: Happy Trails Horror

Summer camp has gone very, very wrong.

At Camp Happy Trails, Hans the Butcher is stalking his next victims—and one Final Girl is going to have to stop him.

Happy Trails Horror gives you a complete Feature Film to play with your Core Box, with its own killer, location, Final Girls, challenges, and slasher-movie atmosphere.

Survive Hans, and there are plenty more horror movies waiting.

How Final Girl Works

Final Girl is designed for one player. It's you against the killer, making every risky decision yourself.

The Core Box is the foundation. Its components and rules are used with the Feature Films in the Final Girl series.

Feature Films provide the horror story. Each adds a killer, location, Final Girls, and its own twists and mechanics.

Build your horror collection over time. Additional Feature Films are sold separately and use the same Core Box.

And here's the especially fun part: as your collection grows, killers and locations can be mixed and matched, creating new horror-movie combinations and considerable opportunities for terrible things to happen. 😁

What’s Included

1 × Final Girl Core Box
The shared rules and components required to play Final Girl Feature Films.

1 × Happy Trails Horror Feature Film
Featuring Hans the Butcher and Camp Happy Trails, with the Feature Film components needed to bring this particular nightmare to life.

Why We Love It

You really are the Final Girl. The solo design puts every choice—and every increasingly questionable survival decision—in your hands.

It understands the movies that inspired it. There's genuine tension here, but also the heightened characters, settings, and occasional absurdity that make slasher movies so much fun.

The modular system is fantastic. A Feature Film isn't simply another scenario. As your collection grows, killers and locations can be recombined, giving the system much more replayability.

This set removes the confusing part of getting started. You need both a Core Box and a Feature Film to play. This Starter Set gives you both, so you don't accidentally arrive at movie night with half a horror movie.
