About the game

What you do in a play session

Buby is a promotional character for 'The Last Friday', adding a new layer of strategy and tension to the game. At the start of each chapter, players can choose to control Buby instead of a regular camper. Buby comes with special rules that set him apart: he can't collect tokens or pick up keys, but he can still take refuge in available cabins. His special ability, 'Fright', forces the maniac to reveal themselves if they are adjacent to Buby at the end of the turn, and allows Buby to move an extra space. This mechanic adds an element of suspense and strategy, as Buby can be used to unmask the maniac or create distractions. The Buby promo card was distributed during events like Gen Con 2016 and Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns, making it a sought-after item among fans of the game.
