15:12. You don’t roll but you still choose which corridor gets a noise token.

This is one of the absolute best how to explanations of a board game that I have ever seen rivaling some of the best from Watch It Played and others. Very detailed with great production, camera angles, and graphic overlays to make it easier to understand. I think you may have found a new format for your channel. Hope you do more of these for many other games. Well done!

[Protodip]

I was pretty late getting into Nemesis... your video was the best how-to-play on this game I've found yet... cheers from 2024.

[shaunmullen]

you know, people dont give enough credit to a well made instruction video. Thank you for a great video. Quick, concise and even has timestamps.

[WitchDoctor]

Please make another video for the expansion when release please. This video was very helpful!

[dalethurber]

Thorough, logically ordered and covers niche situations. Well, well done.

[Johan_Cohen]

This is the LAST video they ever published, RIP Board game Replay

[mechasduo]

I read through the entire manual and just wanted to get a refresher for a game tonight... This was excellent! I will certainly be subscribing. Your editing, script and pace for proceeding through the rules was excellent!

[stevendossantos]

Excellent video. Thank you! Just one minor omission: when a player passes, they can place any number of their remaining action cards in their hand into their discard pile.

[christopherbartlett]

Fantastic work. I usually can't make it more than 15 minutes through rules videos (I usually just go read the rules instead), but I watched all 50 minutes. Thanks!

[iphatbass]

I just played my first game last night and we had a blast! Really awesome game! Only thing that I didn't like is that I have to search in manual explanation for every intruder bag development phase :D They could have add those icons on the rules summary page, so i don't have to go to page 10 for those symbols :D

[Bloodball]

28:56 Not 4 serious wounds. Rulebook: a Character with 3 Serious Wounds suffers any additional Wound (Light or Serious) they are instantly killed.

[KnucklesEki]

Well, I tried it for the first time. Solo play, got to the end. Destination: Earth, check. Contamination: Clear, check. Objective: Complete, check. Engines: Broken...


I was just trusting luck at the end, there was 1 working and 1 broken engine (that I couldn't fix since the QUEEN was there), and I couldn't check the last engine since there were too many intruders on the way. I was already pretty beat up, so I didn't want to risk spending more time, so I just hoped for the best, 50:50 chance. It didn't come...

[lujolonewolf]

Omg why did I buy this, I won’t remember how to play lol

[tyleralmquist]

Please Play Twilight Imperium 4th Edition!

[darrenmurphy]

At 18:38 ish ypu say "if you want to craft an item and there are non left" i was waiting for "the ship blows up" 😂😂😂😂

[mattsully]

I agree with you fully on the terminology for round vs turn, however, I really think you should make a point of sticking to the terminology used in the rule book for each game, to avoid confusion for people watching.

[ivankashmere]

Great explanation of the game. We played it yesterday and as I now know only made some minor mistakes. We really enjoyed it, the Alien-Movie/Dead Space feeling Is Strong in Nemesis.

[andrecabral]

Very good video. I read the manual and was a little bit overwhelmed by the rules (even though I understood them, there were too many rules hahahhaa). But after watching the video, the rules were much clearer!

Just a small correction: I don't know if I missed it, but isn't the video missing the rule that if there is a closed door on the corridor an intruder is going to move (on the event phase), the intruder don't move but the door is destroyed?

[GenJacoty]

This has been very helpful, even for someone who already played, just to keep things clear. Thank you. Any chance you'll do the Aftermath and other expansions?
