In Friday the 13th: Horror at Camp Crystal Lake, an anxiety-driven, press-your-luck horror game, players take on the roles of cliché camp counselors like the stereotypical Nerd, the Partier, the Nice Guy, the Final Girl, the Diva, and the Jock as they rely on chance and strategy to survive five nights being terrorized by blood-thirsty Jason. Coveted tools of survival are just within your reach to randomly draw from a camp bag: cast iron pans, gasoline, cleavers, flashlights and more. Collect them to make various combinations for points and use additional fear cards for ways to escape his attacks.
You have only strategy and supplies to keep you alive, but the odds of returning safely to the camp get slimmer with every turn! Steal supplies from your friends, take them with you to the cabin, or keep what you find and wait out the nights to be the last one standing!

Friday the 13th is a good potential theme for a board game. That theme is all but useless here, but fear not - what is in the box is a solid risk/reward game that can be taught quickly. With our table of 5, it still felt like Jason tokens were a tad easy to come by. But I'd play it again in a heartbeat.

Fun and light push your luck bag pulling game. I think there might be a but too much luck, but the experience and laughs are worth it if you just shut your brain off and don't care who wins. The theme is somewhat well implemented too for a game that's been pasted on for the third time. As a game it isn't much, but it's quick and gets a fair amount of laughs and oooh and ahhh moments. Overall, if you want a game you won't find much meat on this bone, but if you want something that's fun and easy and you like the theme you might enjoy this.

5/24/20 Woohoo, first to comment! Pre-ordered on GN. List price was $27 but I had a $10 credit so it cost me $17. Expected release date is late July. Update: this game is the exact same game as the Snow White Gemstone Mining game. I didn't think that different games would be allowed to have the exact same mechanics or card abilities, but here we are. I guess the only thing you can trademark is the title? That said, I like this theme better, but the gemstone mining game has nicer components and looks nicer overall. Overall, I'm happy I got it because I love the gemstone mining game and I got this for much cheaper.
