We delve into this huge social deduction game, Nemesis Retaliation! This is the 3rd installment of the Nemesis Ameritrash series from Awaken Realms, which has lots of items and asymmetry inside a sci-fi world. Will the aliens destroy your team of marines, trying to explore the facility to do their hidden agendas? What will your dice rolls be to make sure the aliens don’t spawn on you and attack you? Oh, the horror. You must run through corridors, making sure you don’t die from contamination too (player elimination does exist). There’s even a solo/cooperative variant for those more euro-minded. How is the replayability with the modular board?

This game was massively profitable on Gamefound, but with all of the add-ons and crowdfunding news, is the finished product any good? How is the Sangrevores expansion? Did Awaken Realms provide a compelling package with nice miniatures and chits? We also cover the Neoflesh cult, Xyrians, and support squad boxes.
