Top Five Nemesis Strategies (for your first game)

Nemesis has a lot of pitfalls that aren't apparent when you first play. Here's how to avoid them.

A general tip as well is to not "expect" a complete win. You are on a malfunctioning ship, ill-equipped and surrounded by perfect killing machines and possibly traitors. For me, I want the win...but survival is a good goal too. I a goal of routing the ship to earth and it was wrecked by another player. So at the end, a different player was going to be able to hit their goal and needed to escape. Two turns earlier...I got into an escape pod and told him I'd wait for him. He doubted me but ran towards the pod. I did wait for him and we jetted into space. It felt good to survive and help someone else. THAT is what Nemesis is all about: freedom to create stories

Played a game last night and both me and my buddy got off the ship via cryosleep and escape pod. I like the comment that only worry at 2 or 3 contamination cards. We both had 1 contamination which were infact infected and we BOTH drew them on our 4 card pick! Was halarious, thanks for the great content.

So far we have found that having 4 players is best too, seems kind of weird to consider player count a strategy in a non cooperative game, but having 2 pairs to go out works well. If you have pairs of fighter/repair person then you have good efficiency. 2 people in the same room may have to make noise rolls though, so make sure to hold onto cards that let you run.

Tks for the tips! Nemesis ia such an amazing game. Even when everything goes wrong, you put smile in your face and say: "ok, how can I get out of this situation?"

During my first round (solo), I rushed to the cockpit to make sure it was set to earth, but got covered in slime on my way. As I was heading to the showers, a breeder started harassing me, crawling in and out of the technical corridors.

I like to repair a malfunction early if I find it. It usually can be done pretty easy and then, at least I know, I've taken care of one or two before things start getting hairy.

My 1st game as soldier was 2 days ago. Had quest to leave in droppod and 7 items.
I had extra gun at one point with 3 shots and reroll. Used all ammo on both weapons, but kiled 2 adult aliens.
Finished game with killscore of 3, 8 items, in perfect health. No alien hit me even once, didn't loose my armor, I just roleplayed entire game. The only dude who also won was scientist who was fighting several aliens and fortunatly last one ran off, then he menaged to get into cryochamber and go to mars (his quest) due to good rng on engines

Love Nemesis but i'd never play it semi coop. Just plays weird. Much better game solo or fully coop.
