Learn how to speed up Final Girl setup using replacement trays for sleeved cards and miniatures for Panic at Station 2891 and Terror From Destiny.
Quick Answer
Use replacement trays to keep sleeved cards organized and swap in miniatures for faster, more immersive setup—especially for Panic at Station 2891 and Terror From Destiny.
Why Trays and Miniatures Speed Up Setup
Replacement trays keep each location and killer's cards separated, so you can grab the right stack without sorting through a pile. Miniatures replace cardboard standees, making it easier to identify characters at a glance and reducing setup time during chaotic moments.
When Miniatures Are Worth the Extra Cost
Miniatures add a premium feel but cost more than the base game. If you play frequently or enjoy painting, they're a great upgrade. For occasional players, the included standees work perfectly fine—skip the extra expense unless you want the visual boost.
Quick Setup Steps
- Organize Your Trays: Sort each location and killer's cards into the corresponding replacement tray. Keep the trays stacked in a consistent order so you can pull the right one immediately. Check that sleeved cards fit snugly—if they're too tight, adjust the sleeve brand or use thinner sleeves.
- Swap in Miniatures: Replace the cardboard standees with the miniatures from the appropriate set—use the Panic at Station 2891 set for that scenario and the Fated Victim set for Terror From Destiny. Before the game, verify that each miniature matches its standee character to avoid confusion during play.
- Store Everything Together: Keep trays and miniatures in the same box or storage container so you can grab everything at once. Store miniatures in a separate compartment to avoid damage. Consider labeling the trays or miniatures to speed up future setups.
