Nemesis (board game)

Nemesis is a science-fiction survival horror board game designed by Adam Kwapinski and published by Awaken Realms following a 2018 crowdfunding campaign. One to five players take on the roles of crew members aboard a damaged spaceship that has been infiltrated by hostile alien intruders, each pursuing a secret personal objective that may put their goals at odds with the rest of the crew. Players explore procedurally revealed rooms of the ship, manage limited resources and noise levels that attract creatures, and must decide whether to cooperate, sabotage one another, or attempt to escape via one of several possible endings such as escape pods or self-destruct sequences. The game draws heavily on the visual and thematic conventions of the Alien film franchise, featuring evolving alien life stages, contamination mechanics, and asymmetric hidden roles that create tension and betrayal among the crew.
