20 Strong Nemesis

This is a great implementation of the highly thematic Awaken Realms game with 20 strong system. While the rules are a touch more complicated that I would like (mainly due to exceptions in where the dice come from for different actions), it starts feel natural after a couple of plays and it does an amazing job building the atmosphere and creating tension where each decision is life and death. Can't wait to play it with other players (so far played only solo) to see the semi cooperative nature of this game to shine.

The thrill of running from the Queen to the escape pod just before the self-destruct goes off, all in under 45 minutes! They knocked it out the park with the AW decks! Glad to finally get a taste of Nemesis, and it's pretty tasty mixed with some gasoline dice!

If you like the Nemesis series of games, this is just as fun and so much easier to set up...

Successfully captures the essence of Nemesis into something smaller and lighter without losing the real meat. We played without the objective cards for our first time but I imagine it's even closer to the real thing with them. Definitely want to paly again.
