1P 252 - Arkham Horror: Final Hour
Saturday Apr 23, 2022
Saturday Apr 23, 2022
Don't be alarmed - this is not the final hour of this podcast! Actually, we are talking about a game called Arkham Horror: Final Hour from Fantasy Flight Games. It being an Arkham Horror game, you can pretty much guess what this game is about and like. If you do, you'll be half right and half wrong. Thematically, this is pretty much the same game as Arkham Horror or Arkham Horror: The Card Game. You are running around fighting monsters and cultists while trying to stop some GOO from showing up. Mechanically speaking, however, you will be surprised. This game feels and plays very differently from other Arkham Horror games.

1P 249 - Final Girl
Saturday Apr 02, 2022
Saturday Apr 02, 2022
This week we talk about the slasher film game Final Girl by A.J. Porfirio of Van Ryder Games. This game is built on the foundation of Hostage Negotiator and expands on that system to make a fun but creepy game about trying to survive in a horror movie while a killer is after you.
This is a modular game series in which you need to buy at least two boxes to play, the core box with rules and a Feature Film box with a killer and location to play in. With multiple Feature Films, you can mix and match killers for more variety in your games.
