Awaken Realms and designer Adam Kwapiński have much to be cheerful about. Is it because Nemesis is one of the highest-rated space board games of all time? You could argue so, but it also has to do with the fact that the original Nemesis, rated 8.2 on BoardGameGeek, and becoming a staple of the “Aliens” genre, has just completed the biggest Gamefound board game campaign on Gamefound, a crowdfunding platform.
Nemesis: Retaliation Becomes Highest Funded Board Game on Gamefound
Both the team behind Nemesis: Retaliation, the latest chapter in the game and Gamefound are based in Poland, and both have been doing a tremendous job of elevating the status of the hobby in the country. Awaken Realms and Kwapiński’s latest instalment in the Nemesis franchise has just pulled in the whooping $12.1 million in backer funding, becoming the largest campaign in history.
Nemesis: Obsession shifts the battlefield and takes the fight to the alien species that have been wreaking havoc and terrorizing space-farers, no more because a team of highly-trained marines will now fight the pest in the very heart of the alien nest.
Oh, and just because you are a professional soldier, this doesn’t mean that you may not realize the suicidal nature of your mission and decide to turn and run, which adds the betrayal mechanic that has become so quintessential for the entire series and such a suspenseful element of the entire title.
The Gamefound campaign offers a Nemesis Master Collection Pledge, which is ideal for players who want to update their entire collection or want to scoop up a real quality product at a serious discount.
This includes not just the new instalment with Obsession, but also tons of cosmetic features, such as Sundrop options for the minis, expansions, stretch goals, and new enemy races, because who wants just the run-of-the-mill Ridley Scott-inspired race of predators to deal with, more expansions and very possibly hundreds of hours of gameplay.
Master Pledge All the Way, Baby!
Consuming the entire content that you get through the $900 Master Pledge is a little hard at first, but you will be securing a near-unending variety of options to elevate your Nemesis experience.
If you have been enjoying Nemesis and the Lockdown expansion, Retaliation and its many bells and whistles may be a fantastic addition to a growing collection of alien-surviving and alien-slaughtering seafarers lost in time.
You can check the Gamefound campaign and share in the clear madness that is Nemesis: Retaliation. As to us? We went with the Master Pledge, apparently.
