Nemesis

Traverse a terrifying spaceship journey in “Nemesis” — a heart-pounding semi-cooperative sci-fi horror board game where survival, betrayal, and alien threats collide.

Waking from cryosleep aboard a compromised starship, your crew must complete personal objectives, fend off deadly intruders, and survive long enough to return to Earth—or backstab your way to a selfish victory.

How the Game Works

Players control crew members with unique abilities, navigating ship rooms to access items, explore, and fight threats. Each turn, you draw from an action deck and perform actions by discarding cards. Events like fire, damage, and intruder spawns make each moment tense.

Hidden objectives mean not everyone shares the same goal—some cooperate, some betray. If you fulfill your objective and survive until mission end, you win—even if others don’t make it out alive.
