Quotes (from this video)
  • This one is cutthroat competitive.
  • Essentially this is a riff on Pandemic but it's so much more than just a Pandemic game.
  • I love the exploration mechanic and you're actually building out the board it's evolving.
  • no dice. I mean, you can play it with dice, but what you can do is you actually have a deck of cards and at the bottom you have different rows. And so, for different things, you can determine okay oh I got that number so it means this.
  • the creepy claustrophobic feel of Nemesis. It's a scary scary game
