About this game

Nemesis: Retaliation is the third installment of the Nemesis horror board game series. Like the first two, it is designed as a standalone game. This time, players take on the roles of highly trained marines, entering the alien nest with strict orders and the most advanced tools available. But will they be well-prepared enough to face the unrelenting horde that awaits them? In Nemesis: Retaliation, players must survive against overwhelming odds and the possibility of betrayal at every step. Some of the new mechanics are: Reworked health system New character actions Modular map system with special exploration cards Item management track Individual objectives allow for hidden traitors —description from the publisher
