Which Final Girl expansion after the base game?

The game

Already own Final Girl? Then you know the system: the Core Box is the engine and each Feature Film is a killer in a location. This page is about which film to get next.

Strictly 1 player. Nothing plays without the Core Box, and every Feature Film needs it. Films mix: any killer can visit any location.

No Core Box, no game. Feature Film boxes hold a killer, a location and final girls, but no dice, boards or rules engine. The Starter Kit bundles the core with the first film.

Killers and locations swap. The fun of owning several films is mixing: a killer from one box in the location of another.

Series is a release wave, not a campaign. Series 1, 2 and 3 films all use the same core. Buy the themes that scare you, in any order.
