I was trying to think of a tagline to close off this video, and all I could think of was Brick Tops speech about Nemesis from snatch. I am such a child.


I'll update this once it's out for retail

I've played this game exactly once. I misread my objectives when it was "Make it back to Earth or be the only one to survive, " as "Make it back to Earth AND be the only one to survive." Everyone was not happy when I tossed a grenade into the room they were all trying to fight the queen in.

I was playing a game with friends, and it was going fine, I was completing my objective (bring the ship to earth) and my friend said he already changed it, next thing I know I'm checking the coordinates because I know him too well, summon the queen, then all doors around me lock. Pretty funny but frustrating

By my understanding, most of the tension in this game comes not from the aliens, but from the fact that you're never sure what your crewmates are planning.

heh... heh hehhh... Hehehehe... Hahahahahaha.... HAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA! 3 MINUTES??! 3 minutes can not even capture the sheer frustration and love and fear and emotion and anxiety and frustration and love and grief this game makes me feel. But it did a damn fkn good job... ❤️

It's worth to mention that Nemesis has full co-op variant AND co-op campaign in comic-book.

Ahh yes, a 3+ hour game with a 50 minute rules explaination taught in 3 minutes.

[tinboy]

Thanks a lot for this! I try so many longer explanations that bore me to death and turns out this quick video taught me more than they ever did!

You only have to play it cooperatively long enough until you don't. That's the fun of it. One time my friend sent my other friend and me sprawling into space on the second turn and won their mission immediately and left the ship and won the game. It was as close to a flawless victory as possible. Another time I played as the scientist and hauled ass through the ship collecting eggs and completing my mission. I yeeted through a room with an adult xenomorph and the next room with a queen and made it through untouched. I won my mission without cooperating for basically the second half of the game and just going as fast as possible. It's the exact correct amount of teamwork and is very realistic.

You should get some god damn commission - no YouTubers has done more to get me to buy board games than your channel

Last game I played of this was exciting as hell. I (P1) had the objective of getting the ship to Mars, which we were on track for. P2's objective was to blow up the ship but there wasn't time left in the game to do that so he was trying to make it to the escape pods.
He made it to first escape pod access room, fought off an alien, and as soon as he killed it, the event card launched the pod he was about to get in to.
Wonderful, I thought.
I manage to *just* evade a hybrid and make it in to cryo, I'm on track to win my objective.
P2 is only one left in play and is desperately making his way to the second escape pod and as soon as he makes it, the event card causes all fire-adjacent rooms to break, resulting in too many broken rooms in the ship, and the ship is destroyed just before he could make it in to the escape pod.
He was so close to winning, then I was so close to winning, then he was so close to snatching it back again, only for us both to perish at the last possible moment.
Excellent game 10/10.

Excellent summary! I love this game but i don’t want new players to feel they have to sit through a 50 minute rule explanation, whether my own or on YouTube. I highly recommend this intro to a first-time player joining veteran players. Then decide if you want to invest 50 minutes to really understand the strategies and twist, or just show up and learn through your mistakes.

It's a great game, but often frustrating... From my experience survival rate is around 20-25%.

Can't wait for my copy to arrive. While Awaken Realms isn't always on the spot with shipping/production timelines, everything I've gotten from them (This War of Mine, Lords of Hellas) has been great. Thanks for the video.

[ripwolfe]

Oh, wow. I was feeling the horror tension of this game just from your description of the rules; not normally my type of game, but I'm considering it now! Also, really, which way _is_ it to the showers? This is a critical question upon waking from hypersleep.

[Vinciini]

Great Snatch reference at the end there!

[AttilaVoices]

Alright, Top Brick. Got me convinced.

[IcePrincessje]

The first time me and my friends played the game we drew the queen as the first enemy. That player is now never allowed to draw in any game for he's bad luck 😂😂

[lugo]

Getting my bad boy tomorrow. I'm hyped.

[wayner]

This sounds awesome. I might just have to look into this
