Alien

Alien board games based on cult sci-fi movies

When director Ridley Scott made the first Alien (starring Sigourney Weaver) in 1979, he may not have known that he had just created an iconic work that would continue to appear on screens at more or less regular intervals until the present day. Pick up the original licensed Alien board games and set out to survive.

Subsequently, 3 more equally successful films about bloodthirsty beasts from outer space were made. Alien has also gradually made its way into the world of video games in the form of Aliens vs. Predator, and now we've finally seen Alien in the board game arena.

Nemesis: a board game about survival among Aliens

Nemesis is an Alien-themed sci-fi survival game for 1-5 players. Players take on the roles of individual crew members of a spaceship that has just awoken from hibernation. All emergency messages claim that a critical system error has occurred and it is unable to continue its journey.

In the base game you can play as a captain, soldier, pilot, scientist, mechanic and explorer. You are given two missions - personal (usually in line with the crew's interests) or corporate (the latter usually requires becoming a traitor). The goal of the game is to fire up the engines, set a course, kill the aliens, and get to Earth safely. 

The moment the first alien appears on the game board, you must choose a mission to complete for the rest of the game. As crew members, you can't directly kill each other, but you can take the opportunity to perform various sabotages. For example, lock your opponent in a room that the intruders have entered.

Nemesis also has a number of expansions for additional characters and maps that provide repeated gameplay extensions, new elements of fun and the opportunity to learn new strategies.
