Core Worlds: Nemesis

About this expansion

Core Worlds: Nemesis is a solo deck-building game for 1 player, with sessions lasting about 90 minutes. It is the official solo version of the Core Worlds deck-building game, putting one player against the AI-driven Nemesis Empire.

Your objective is to conquer the Core Worlds while the Nemesis follows its own simulated strategy. A special Nemesis deck represents the opposing empire and is designed to recreate the decisions and pressure of playing against a human opponent.

As the game develops, the Nemesis deck helps determine which worlds the opposing empire is targeting in each sector. It also tracks which Core Worlds the Nemesis is planning to conquer as it drafts cards throughout the game, giving its actions a distinct direction to anticipate.

• Solo play: Face the Nemesis Empire without requiring additional players.
• AI-driven opponent: Use the special Nemesis deck to simulate a human player.
• Strategic anticipation: Watch sector targets and planned Core World conquests as the Nemesis drafts cards.
• Included promos: Every promo card released for Core Worlds is included in this expansion.

Core Worlds: Nemesis combines the card-drafting and deck-building foundation of Core Worlds with an opponent system built specifically for solo play. Rather than simply playing through an automated sequence, you must interpret the Nemesis’s developing plans and respond to its intended targets.

Released in 2021, this expansion provides a dedicated way to experience the Core Worlds setting alone, while also bringing together every Core Worlds promo card released. For players seeking a focused one-player contest centered on conquest, drafting, and reading an AI-driven rival, it offers a complete solo framework.
