About this expansion

20 Strong: Nemesis is a 1–3-player survival board game played in about 60 minutes, challenging you to reach Earth in one piece while exploring a failing ship and evading intruders.

The ship begins with its rooms inactive, leaving you little chance of escape until you restore its critical functions. Roll dice to move through the ship, search for generators, engines, and escape pods, and work toward bringing its systems back online.

Time is dangerous. The longer you take, the more noise you make, adding pressure to every move as you explore. Along the way, the ship may provide valuable military or technical tools that you can salvage and use wisely.

  • Explore the ship and roll dice to move throughout it.
  • Restore generators and get the engines running.
  • Prepare the escape pods before it is too late.
  • Salvage useful military and technical items.
  • Evade intruders and watch for possible betrayal.

Survival is not the only concern. Every player has their own objectives, and those goals can shape their decisions throughout the game. A crewmate may be willing to betray you, while another player’s choices might even require that you do not make it off the ship alive.

In 20 Strong: Nemesis, restoring the ship is only part of the challenge. You must focus on your own survival, manage the growing danger, and make sure you are among those who reach an escape pod.
