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.

I have no interest in the theme, not being a horror movie fan in the slightest, but I still feel that if you're going to do a thematic game you should make SOME effort. This is just a reskin of a simple set-collection game and doesn't carry the theme off at all. Even ignoring that issue, the game is really random and unfun.

Fantastic game, really allows you to mess with your friends. I'm also a F13 fangirl, so i might be biased.
