About the game
In Nemesis, you desperately want to reach Earth in one piece, but it won’t be easy. As you explore the ship and evade the intruders, you may encounter crewmates willing to betray you. Roll dice to move throughout the ship. Discover critical functions like generators, engines, and escape pods. The longer you take, the more noise you’ll make. Rooms start inactive at the beginning of the game, so you’ll need to get the ship up and running again to have any chance of escaping. Get the generators online and engines running, and prep the escape pods! The ship is full of useful items. Salvage what military or technical tools you can and utilize them wisely. Every player has their own objectives. Their choices might even require you not to make it off the ship alive. Focus on your survival and make sure you’re in one of those escape pods! —description from the publisher

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists 20 Strong: Nemesis for ages 13 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
