Nemesis Lockdown - Sci-Fi Horror Tabletop Miniatures Strategy Game, Cooperative Adventure for Teens & Adults, Ages 14+, 1-5 Players, 90-180 Min Playtime

My husband's favorite game of all time is Nemesis. So of course he HAD to have Nemesis Lockdown in his collection, so like the loving wife I am, I purchased it for him. Little did I know, I found the perfect trap – I mean, game – for him! Here’s why it’s a wife’s secret weapon: Husband Magnet: This game has magnetic powers over my husband. Once he starts playing, he’s glued to the table for hours. It’s like magic, but with dice and alien invaders. Many, Many Hours of Fun (for Him): This game takes FOREVER. Like, seriously, hours upon hours. But you know what? That means I get tons of "me time" while he’s occupied with his gamey things. It’s like a mini vacation for me every time he plays. This game has become my ally in the battle for solo TV time. While he’s conquering the galaxy or whatever, I get full control of the TV remote. It’s a win-win for both of us, really. Survival Skills: My husband is now an expert in surviving alien attacks and navigating treacherous labs. It’s a valuable skill set, I’m sure, in case we ever move to Mars or face an alien invasion. Thanks, Nemesis Lockdown! Alien Encounters: If I had a dollar for every time I heard him talk about alien encounters and secret agendas, I’d be able to fund a real-life Mars mission. The enthusiasm is real, folks. Complexity Overload: I have no idea how this game works. There are so many pieces, cards, and rules that it looks like a spaceship exploded on our dining room table. But hey, he’s happy, so I’m happy. Perfect for Wife Gatherings: Need to drop off your husband for a night out with the girls? Just set up Nemesis Lockdown, and you’re guaranteed he won’t move until the game’s over. It’s like having a built-in babysitter, except he’s the one being babysat by aliens. Nerd Bonding Time: Apparently, this game is also great for bonding with his fellow nerdy friends. They all get together, speak their nerdy language, and have a blast. It’s like watching a bunch of grown men play make-believe – absolutely adorable. In conclusion, the Nemesis Lockdown Board Game is a wife’s dream come true – a husband trap disguised as entertainment. If you need some husband-free time or just want to witness pure geeky joy, look no further. Highly recommend, with a side of humor and a full fridge of beer.

Functionality.. well thought out, fun game. It has some luck to it. Ease of Learning? It was a bit hard to learn. But I actually enjoyed figuring it out. I noticed there are two event decks that are the same except for the card backs. Only one of the two decks is used. Which one? Since they are nearly exact, it doesn't matter which one. (go big into boardgame geek to see the talk about it in forums). It took a few hours to figure this out. I enjoyed the study immensely. Strategy? Oh there's the rub isn't it? The strategy for one type of game with one or two types of missions with 1 to 6 players, with one board side, or the other.... I LOVE IT! Quality: Superb. Size: It's a biggish box. Quite Heavy. I was careful to note the order of the layers as I opened it up. I would bet there are a few "unboxing" videos on line.

Excellent game. I recommend whole heartedly, even for solo play. The only down side is this games extremely long setup time.

Llego todo perfecto y rapidisimo!! soy de argentina y en 1 semana lo tenia en casa en perfectas condiciones! muy conforme

One of the best games I’ve ever played!!! Super thematic. Me and my brothers have a blast every time we play it.

The game is amazing, it took me a long time to learn it from reading the rule book. I have played this with my friends about 5 times already and have enjoyed the fun. Have not played the alternative side of the board yet. Pros -Great game -Perfect game time of an hour to 2:30 -Figurines look great -Plenty of tokens and reference materials for playing -Quality printing and card/boardgame quality -Plenty of replayability -Solo/Coop mode or semi coop mode available! Cons -The directions were great however, sometimes the rules would call something a different name than otherwise referenced earlier in the rule book. This caused some confusion. -Some action cards/event cards may have you do something and you aren't %100 sure if you're executing it correctly. As a veteran magic the gathering player, I am used to cards reading EXACTLY what they do. so I may be a little bias on the wording from the creators of this game. Overall I am impressed with this game and will be purchasing more from these creators Note: I did not play the original Nemesis game or aftermath expansion, but plan to in the future.
