The Achievement Cards are here to add an extra layer of challenge and objectives for those who aren't satisfied with the bare minimum. Think of them as secret missions or goals that pop up amidst the chaos, requiring you and your crew (or what's left of them) to scramble to fulfill them. By achieving these goals, you unlock special actions that could be your salvation... or the final push into the abyss. This expansion doesn't change the core essence of the game, but it adds layers of complexity and replayability. If you enjoy the tension of Nemesis and want more reasons to worry (and perhaps brag about later), the Achievement Cards are a perfect fit. They encourage different strategies and can even alter the dynamics between players, especially if suspicion is already running high. Prepare for more moments of 'do we complete the objective or just try to survive?' and see if your team has what it takes to achieve glory... or just another problem to solve before the aliens take care of business. Remember, these cards are an add-on, a bonus for those seeking a greater challenge or wanting to explore new ways to play the already acclaimed Nemesis. They aren't here to make things easier, but rather to test your limits and give you another reason to stay glued to your seat, hoping no one gets eaten before the mission is complete. It's the extra dose of adrenaline that dedicated fans were looking for! ## FAQ ### Is this a standalone game or an expansion? Achievement Cards is an expansion for the base game Nemesis.
