Nemesis is a game that I received shortly before Christmas. I played it for the first time on Christmas day and became addicted to it. I have been playing it just about every day since then. So, in this post and the next I want to show you the figures that come with the game, starting with the six crew members.
At the far left is the Captain. He starts the game armed with a Six Shooter Pistol which has 6 shots. It is a classic weapon and can only be reloaded with the Reload Action card. When you roll double damage you deal 1 additional injury. He is a good all-rounder.
Next up is the Mechanic. He starts the game armed with a Sawed Off Shotgun, which only has 2 shots. Rolls of 1 damage are treated as double damage. He is the guy who is best suited to repairing stuff.
At the far right is the Pilot. She starts the game armed with a Shotgun which also has 2 shots. Every time you deal at least 1 injury you deal 1 additional injury. She is the person you most want to get to the ship's cockpit, where her skills prove most useful.
Moving on is the wheelchair bound Scientist. He starts the game armed with a Pistol, which has 3 shots. Unfortunately, rolls of double damage are treated as single damage, so that's not good. Obviously, science skills are his forte. He is not good in combat.
The female Scout is next in line. She starts the game with a Rifle, which holds 4 shots. It has no special rules. She is excellent at exploring the ship and can check out rooms without entering them or move silently.
Last up is the Soldier. He starts the game armed with an Assault Rifle, which has 5 shots. Each time he deals at least 1 injury he deals an additional injury. Obviously, he is the character best suited to fighting the Intruders.
The figures are nicely sculpted with realistic proportions. However, the facial detail on them is poor. All of the figures have textured bases, which is a nice touch. The game is designed to be played by 1 to 5 players so you can't field all six characters. When I've been playing, the most I've taken has been four. However, I usually play with three characters. My win ratio is good but every game is so tense and unpredictable. Victory is never a certainty. The Intruders are truly frightening and I'll show you them in my next post.
When you mentioned "Nemesis" before Bryan, I was rather intrigued and this posting has added to that interest enormously. What an incredibly different cast of characters the game provides, and thanks for taking the time to explain their various in-game roles and equipment etc. Really looking forward to this becoming available in stores :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Simon. I hope you don't have too long to wait for the game to be available commercially. I really can't recommend it too highly. It has fast become my favourite board-game!
DeleteShame about the facial detail Bryan, as otherwise the models look good, and nice to see all aspects of a crew being represented
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, Dave. The figures are very nice but let down by their lack of facial detail. There are more crew figures coming with wave 2 of the game. I'm very much looking forward to receiving them.
DeleteI know nothing about the game Bryan is played out on a spaceship ?
ReplyDeleteYes, Frank, it is played on a spaceship named "Nemesis". The game board is double-sided each with a different layout of the "Nemesis".
DeleteSounds pretty cool. Those minis are ace. I like the yellow one, who looks like a foppy Prince Adam.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom. I think you're right about Prince Adam. :-)
DeleteThis is the first I have heard of this game. Sounds interesting. Is it like the game Endure the Stars?
ReplyDeleteCheers, Major. I am not overly familiar with "Endure the Stars" but I do see certain similarities between both games. I guess if you like one you'll like the other.
DeleteCool looking minis Bryan and nice paint jobs.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Simon.
DeleteDo you have problem with your eyes or you just kidding?
Deletehahaahha... stop trolling with this painting hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
My name is Olisa Blessing, I am so pleased. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I lost my job because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred Dr. Utu Herbal Cure to me, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the herbal medication from him and was forever cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
