Nemesis

At the start of each Player Phase you draw action cards until you have a hand size of 5; if your Action deck is empty shuffle your discard to form a new deck and continue drawing (see p.10).

When you enter an unexplored room you flip the room tile and reveal its Exploration token, resolve the token's effect (Silence/Danger/Slime/Fire/Malfunction/Doors) and then, if the room is empty, perform a Noise roll — Danger can instead move Intruders or place Noise markers (see pp.14–16).

An Encounter occurs when an Intruder is placed in a Room containing a Character; you draw an Intruder token and compare the token’s number to the number of cards in that player's hand — if the player has fewer cards than the token number, a Surprise Attack (an Intruder Attack) occurs (see p.18).

You may freely drop any Item or Object from your Hands or Inventory any time during your turn without spending an Action; dropped Item cards are discarded while dropped Objects remain on the board in that Room (see p.22).

To be a winner you must both fulfill your Objective and survive by either hibernating in the Hibernatorium (only possible when chambers are open and you pass the Noise roll) or by evacuating in an Escape Pod; Escape Pods start locked but may unlock automatically after the first death or when Self‑Destruct becomes critical (see pp.11 and 26).

During the Victory Check you scan all your Contamination cards (deck/discard/hand); if any card is labeled INFECTED you reshuffle your cards to form a new Action deck and draw 4, and if you have at least one Contamination card (infected or not) your Character dies — see scanning and contamination rules on pp.11 and 20–21.
