Ever wondered 'what happens next?' after an intense game of Nemesis? That's where the Aftermath expansion comes in. The star of the show is the Epilogue Mode, a condensed experience (lasting 45 to 60 minutes) that serves as the perfect conclusion to your story. The coolest part? The board isn't just reset; the scars, damages, and chaos left over from your previous session directly influence the setting of this new game.

In this mission, you won't use the same survivors, but rather new investigators entering the ship to figure out what on earth happened. Forget the long-term objectives of the base game; here, things are more dynamic, featuring quick Personal Requirements and urgent Alerts that force players to cooperate... or be selfish, should someone decide to accept the 'Lucrative Offer'.

Beyond the new mode, the expansion introduces 5 new characters with distinct abilities. The selection system is clever: when picking a character's color, you choose between the base game version or the Aftermath version, ensuring a varied group composition. To spice things up further, every character now gets a Trait card, adding permanent advantages and disadvantages that deepen character customization.

Regarding components, you get 4 new rooms and an additional Shuttle board, which acts as a small annex docked to the Nemesis, expanding the exploration area. If you already love the tension of surviving alien intruders, Aftermath turns the experience into something faster, yet more lethal and unpredictable. It's the ideal way to close a campaign cycle without needing a five-hour session, while keeping all the drama and adrenaline the franchise is known for.
