The FroGames Card
You are running through the ferns. You feel the pack's breath on your neck. You have two bullets, one witness to save, and zero room for error. The clock doesn't stop, and the raptors just learned how to open doors.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT
A deadly reality show where you are the prey
The Raptor Games is the fifth Feature Film expansion for Final Girl Series 4, designed by Byron Jorjorian and A.J. Porfirio with illustrations by Tyler Johnson. Set on Isla Lagarto, a secret island where the planet's last dinosaurs survive, the game puts you in the shoes of a contestant who must survive a globally televised event: a brutal reality show where the billion-dollar prize goes to the sole survivor. Or at least, that's the promise.
Raptors are not just any creatures: they hunt in coordination, move with blinding speed, and act as if they share a single mind. As long as they stay together, even trained soldiers don't stand a chance. You'll have to move between the island's zones, manage your hand of action cards, rescue witnesses, and decide whether to confront the predators or if your true goal is to eliminate all the Raptors from the island to end the games forever. Requires the Final Girl Core Box to play.
What they say abroad

Final Girl: The Raptor Games
Final Girl is designed exclusively for solo play. The Raptor Games brings a killer automa that simulates coordinated pack hunting: Raptors move, attack, and become deadlier as victims fall. Complete experience, no multiplayer planned.

Key elements of the Feature Film
The Raptors
The killer of this scenario: fast predators that hunt in packs. As long as they remain grouped, they are almost invincible. Your only hope is to divide them or eliminate them one by one.
Isla Lagarto
The location: a secret island modified for entertainment. Different zones, hidden witnesses, weapons to retrieve. Each area has specific rules and dangers.
Final Girls
Two playable protagonists included in the expansion, each with unique abilities. You can combine them with any other killer or location from the series.
Terror Deck
The deck that controls the killer: event cards that determine how the Raptors move, attack, and react. The more victims fall, the deadlier the deck becomes.
🎲How to playThe rules in four steps▼
How to play
The flow of each round
Final Girl alternates your action phase with the killer's phase, in a crescendo of tension.
You play cards from your hand to move, search for items, rescue victims, or attack the Raptors. Each action costs cards, and your hand is limited. You must prioritize.
Draw cards from the Terror Deck: they reveal how the Raptors move, attack victims, or you. Events worsen as victims fall.
If you confront a Raptor, you roll dice and compare the result with your cards and items. Victory: you eliminate the killer. Defeat: you lose health. Draw: both resist.
You replenish your hand by drawing new action cards, but the Terror Deck also advances. Surviving Raptors become more dangerous. Time is running out.
⏱️Your first gameThe chronicle, moment by moment▼
A game in five moments
What happens at the table
Not the rules. The experience.
The reality show begins
Choose your Final Girl, prepare your action deck, and place the victims on the Isla Lagarto map. The Raptors start in a distant zone, but you know they are already sniffing the air. The clock starts, and the first Terror cards reveal where the hunt will begin.
The first victim
You move towards an isolated victim, pick up some useful items. Then you draw a Terror card: the Raptors move, very quickly, and a victim disappears. The Terror deck strengthens. You realize that every second counts and that standing still is a death sentence.
Dividing the pack
You realize that facing them all together is suicide. You use a card to lure one away from the others, position yourself, and face the first duel. You roll the dice, spend resources, hope. If the Raptor wins, you lose health points. If you win, one is out of the game. But the others are coming.
The last victim
Only one victim remains alive. The Raptors have surrounded them. You must decide: do you save them and risk everything, or sacrifice them to have time to eliminate the last predator? Your hand of cards dwindles, your health is low, the margin for error is zero.
End of transmission
Either you eliminated all the Raptors and won a billion (and your life), or you fell, and the island has a new skeleton. You reread the board, counting how many times you were one die roll away from the end. And you wonder: should I replay immediately or wait until tomorrow?
🐸Before you buyThree honest things, from friends▼
Before you buy
Three things to know before purchasing
Requires Core Box
The Raptor Games is a Feature Film expansion. It is not standalone. You need the Final Girl Core Box to play: it contains the dice, tokens, basic action cards, and fundamental rules. Without it, this box is not usable.
Luck present in dice rolls
Combat is resolved with dice rolls. You can mitigate this with cards, items, and positioning, but an unlucky roll can ruin a perfect plan. If you're only looking for deterministic puzzles, Final Girl includes push-your-luck elements.
Few verifiable data
The game was released in 2026 with very few ratings on BGG. The specific mechanics of the Raptors (how pack intelligence works, which Terror cards come out) are not yet documented in detail. Purchase for early adopters or fans of the series.
🏆Victory and defeatWhat the ending rewards▼
How it ends
How you win and how you lose
Final Girl ends definitively: either you eliminate the threat, or the threat eliminates you.
Victory
- Eliminate all Raptors on the island (main condition to end the game)
- Or eliminate the required number of Raptors and complete your Final Girl's objective
- In some scenarios, you save a minimum number of victims and escape alive
Defeat
- Your Final Girl runs out of health points and is eliminated by the Raptors
- All victims are killed before you can complete the objective
- The Terror Deck runs out and the killer overwhelms you (time's up)
The Raptor Games promises the lethal mix of Jurassic Park and slasher horror, within an already proven modular system. If you're looking for pure solo tension, this is the right territory.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Final Girl: The Raptor Games
Can I play The Raptor Games without owning other Final Girl expansions?
Yes, but only if you have the Final Girl Core Box. That contains everything needed to play (dice, tokens, basic rules, action cards). Other expansions are not needed: each Feature Film is independent. You can combine different killers and locations if you own more than one, but it's not mandatory.
What mechanics does Final Girl: The Raptor Games use?
The Final Girl system combines hand management (managing a limited hand of action cards), movement (moving on a modular map), dice rolling (combat resolved with dice), push your luck (choosing when to face the killer or flee) and an adversary automa guided by the Terror Deck. The Raptors have a unique coordinated hunting mechanic.
How long does a game last?
Final Girl games typically last 30-60 minutes, depending on your experience with the system and the chosen difficulty. The Raptor Games follows the same pattern: quick setup, tense game, immediate replay if you lose (and you will lose often the first few times).
Can I combine the Raptors with other Final Girl locations?
Yes, that's one of the system's strengths. You can play the Raptors on any location from other expansions (spaceship, camp, manor, etc.), and you can bring other killers to Isla Lagarto. Each combination radically changes the gameplay. If you own multiple Feature Films, replayability explodes.
Is it available in Italian?
No. The edition for sale is in English. The game is language-dependent: there are event cards, ability texts, item and scenario descriptions. A good understanding of written English is required. Currently, there are no official localized editions of Final Girl Series 4.
