Nemesis is a game that I received shortly before Christmas. I played it for the first time on Christmas day and became addicted to it. I have been playing it just about every day since then. So, in this post and the next I want to show you the figures that come with the game, starting with the six crew members.

At the far left is the Captain. He starts the game armed with a Six Shooter Pistol which has 6 shots. It is a classic weapon and can only be reloaded with the Reload Action card. When you roll double damage you deal 1 additional injury. He is a good all-rounder.
Next up is the Mechanic. He starts the game armed with a Sawed Off Shotgun, which only has 2 shots. Rolls of 1 damage are treated as double damage. He is the guy who is best suited to repairing stuff.

At the far right is the Pilot. She starts the game armed with a Shotgun which also has 2 shots. Every time you deal at least 1 injury you deal 1 additional injury. She is the person you most want to get to the ship's cockpit, where her skills prove most useful.

Moving on is the wheelchair bound Scientist. He starts the game armed with a Pistol, which has 3 shots. Unfortunately, rolls of double damage are treated as single damage, so that's not good. Obviously, science skills are his forte. He is not good in combat.
The female Scout is next in line. She starts the game with a Rifle, which holds 4 shots. It has no special rules. She is excellent at exploring the ship and can check out rooms without entering them or move silently.

Last up is the Soldier. He starts the game armed with an Assault Rifle, which has 5 shots. Each time he deals at least 1 injury he deals an additional injury. Obviously, he is the character best suited to fighting the Intruders.
The figures are nicely sculpted with realistic proportions. However, the facial detail on them is poor. All of the figures have textured bases, which is a nice touch. The game is designed to be played by 1 to 5 players so you can't field all six characters. When I've been playing, the most I've taken has been four. However, I usually play with three characters. My win ratio is good but every game is so tense and unpredictable. Victory is never a certainty. The Intruders are truly frightening and I'll show you them in my next post.
