In Nemesis: Retaliation, players take on roles of highly trained marines infiltrating an alien nest. The game blends cooperative and semi-cooperative elements where survival against overwhelming alien forces and possible betrayal are key. A modular board with special exploration cards ensures varied gameplay, while individual objectives and a reworked health system demand tactical planning. Dice rolling and item management add layers of strategy.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets experienced players aged 14 and up who enjoy complex semi-cooperative and cooperative horror adventures with player elimination. With a playtime around 180 minutes, it requires patience and strategic thinking. Prior experience with similar games or the Nemesis series helps but is not mandatory.
How It Works
Nemesis: Retaliation uses a modular board assembled differently each game. Players have individual hidden objectives and may act as traitors. Dice rolling determines combat and action outcomes, while the health system and item management regulate resources. The combination of cooperative and semi-cooperative mechanics with player elimination creates tension and uncertainty.
What Makes It Special

The game expands the horror sci-fi setting with new tactical options and traitor mechanics, differentiating it from classic cooperative games.
