Nemesis: Lockdown

Players navigate a secret Martian research base laid out on multiple levels, moving between rooms via stairs and elevators while managing power and lighting across floors. The game mixes cooperative and competitive play: players collect items, perform advanced computer and contingency procedures, craft, run, fight hostile lifeforms, and use a CSS hatch system as they pursue hidden personal objectives that can conflict with the group. Components and mechanics emphasize tense, cinematic play with new characters, a distinct alien species, and expanded board systems that change tactical options and risk assessment.

    One play. Really little interaction and randomly roaming about the map until something happens and then everybody scrambles to obtain objective and escape. Pretty fun for the last third of a 3h game… not my cup of tea, absolutely, even if I recognise it's probably well done for what it tries to do. But for me there's really too little interesting interaction between players. You're just trying to beat the game before the others. And the main mechanic of the game is the randomness that generates anxiety and "theme" of the Alien movie suspance. Not a game, more of a story, a movie or an experience together.
