Rebel Studio Nemesis Board Game - Sci-Fi Horror Adventure! Detailed Miniatures, Cooperative & Strategy Gameplay, Space Survival Challenge, Ages 14+, 1-5 Players, 1-2 Hour Playtime

There is not a single downside to this game (unless your typical game night excedes five players). The main game is "semi-cooperative”. You must work together to survive. You could get knocked out of the game on the second turn, permanently. But you also have personal objectives that might tempt you into deceit, sabotage, and murder. There are also Fully Cooperative and Revive Modes that eliminate paranoia and promote deeper compassion and communication. There's even a single-player mode! Optionally, the first player to die can play as the Intruders, making an already overwhelming enemy more threatening. Worth the pricetag, every dollar your spend is packed into the game. This is a well-designed and organized game box: a place for everything and everything in its place. High-quality and gorgeously detailed plastic figures, a double-sided game board (standard and harder layout), detailed instructions, handy reference cards, great artwork and more. A short story you can read aloud sets the drama while actually teaching the game's flow. My group played last weekend, and we couldn't help role-playing our characters. NOT our usual game night!! Intense with moments of screaming hilarity. If you like games like Catan, Twilight Imperium, Gloomhaven, etc. OR if you are a fan of the Alien movie franchise, consider this a MUST BUY.

I went back and forth for weeks on purchasing nemesis, i finally gave in and ordered. Because of this game I now have a dedicated board game group JUST for nemesis. Its a hit. It takes awhile to play, the instructions are quite extensive, and i dont recommend this for those newer to board games. Its a large box and once everything is on the table it requires tons of space, dont get this unless you have a long table to play on. Two of the miniatures came broken inside of the box prior to me receiving it. I super glued them back together and theyve been fine since. Additonally part of my box broken when putting the lid back on, i think this game could use a more durable box. Overall I love the game and highly recommened it, as every playthrough feels different and engaging.

Let me start by saying that this is a great game! A narrative experience where players attempt to survive a starship which is falling apart around them, vicious alien intruders, and possibly other players who might pursue their own sometimes selfish agendas. Terror and treachery are around every corner and players must attempt to pursue a secret personal goal(s) in order to attain victory and some co-operation is required as the game is hard. However, patient players wait until the fruits of betrayal are ripe and a sudden door closing, room lit afire, or drawing the intruders to a room occupied by your now-former friends can change the narrative of the game for better or worse. The game itself does have a lot of rules and actually winning can be a daunting task. There are rules for co-operative and solo play, but the main game, fully involved is the true gem here. The game components are very nice - quality cardboard, plastic chips for the noise markers, fires and malfunctioning room tokens. And of course, the figurines are great! The intruders are large and menacing and the most common foe has multiple sculpts and poses. All the figures and components come pre-assembled and the box is packed full of game pieces. The rules book is large and fairly easy to follow, but there are a lot of rules and you will be referring back to it often, even once you've played a few times. It also comes with 2 separate sheets that define what the different rooms do, so the players don't need to pass around the rule-book constantly - a nice well-thought out touch. Overall, my group enjoys this game, but less competitive groups might not like the semi-co-op version of the game as much.

I can’t praise this game enough! Nemesis is a STAPLE of our weekly game nights. It has a TON of pieces, each piece feels like good quality, and the gameplay is crazy fun…but be warned: friendships are tested as you never know if your friend is out to get you. The premise of the game is easy, and learning the game isn’t too difficult. Move: roll noise dice. Play cards. Fight aliens if they arrive (or run away from them). Complete onjectives. Go to Earth. What we love the most about the game is that it’s never the same every time you play it since the rooms are randomized. It keeps the game fresh every time you play it. Heads up: it’s a BIG game by size and requires a large play area. Also, get the expansions! They add to the core of the game.

Alot of fun!! A bit long to learn, but totally worth it!!
