Board Game Geek Rating: 5.55. Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 8.05. Players: 1 - 5. Published in 2021. This is a Kickstarter special of the Nemesis Lockdown standalone board game expansion by Awaken Realms. It includes the Lockdown expansion and all stretch goals from the Kickstarter campaign, bundled in the 'Stretch Goal Box'. No need for the original Nemesis core game as it's a standalone expansion. Nemesis Lockdown builds on the tense, cinematic experience of the hit game Nemesis (BGG rank overall #33, thematic #10). It offers more chances for exciting, dramatic gameplay. Be a survivor in an underground base with a terrifying threat. Guess what other players are doing and be ready for the unexpected. Explore a new location - a secret Mars base on a multi - level board. The game keeps the highly cinematic, semi - co - op feel of the original while introducing new mechanics like multi - level base with stairs and elevators, advanced computer actions, CSS hatch system, power and light on different levels, contingency procedure, and new characters and alien race. It comes with all components for a cinematic Sci - Fi horror experience. Suitable for 1 - 5 players, a 90 - 120 - minute semi or full co - op experience that varies each time. Works with most previous Nemesis content. We're happy to support campaigns to bring you this game. A portion of your purchase will back new Kickstarter games. Contact The Game Steward for any purchase questions or advice.
How to play: First, set up the multi - level board representing the secret Mars base. Each player gets a character and starts with a secret objective. During your turn, you can gather items, explore rooms, use actions like crafting, running, or fighting other species. Try to complete your secret objective, but be aware of other players as sometimes your victory might come at their expense. Use the new mechanics like the stairs, elevators, and advanced computer actions to your advantage. Remember, the power and light levels can change, so be ready for surprises. Contingency procedures might also come into play. Notice: The original Nemesis core game is not needed. Paid add - ons from the Kickstarter campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. Maintenance: Keep the game components in a dry and cool place. After each play, make sure to put all pieces back in the box neatly to avoid losing any. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
