About the game
If you feel that the tension of Nemesis: Lockdown isn't quite enough, this Stretch Goals pack arrives to crank up the chaos. Essentially, it gathers almost everything promised during the Kickstarter campaign, turning the experience into something even more visceral and varied. The main highlight here is the introduction of the Chytrids, a new alien race that brings 12 terrifying miniatures (including the Queen and the Deathcaps) and spore and mycelium mechanics that shift the survival dynamics within the ship's corridors.

But it doesn't stop there. The content isn't just about adding monsters; it integrates Lockdown with other base game expansions, such as Aftermath, Carnomorphs, and Void Seeders, as well as including the Medic character. This means you can mix threats from different expansions, creating customized nightmare scenarios. The pack also includes treats for component lovers, such as the Mars Rover token, extra plastic doors and gates, and even a first-player marker in the form of a space raccoon — because, of course, every horror game needs a raccoon.

For those who love narrative, the highlight is the 'Untold Stories #3' comic book, which provides six cooperative campaign missions. This adds a layer of progression and storytelling that makes the experience less random and more focused on specific objectives. Keep in mind that while the content is amazing, the language dependency is high, so if you aren't fluent in English, you'll need a translation to fully enjoy the missions and new cards. It is the definitive upgrade for those who want to turn Lockdown into a complete space horror experience where paranoia is the only constant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which game do I need to use this content?
You absolutely need Nemesis: Lockdown. This is a set of expansions and extras specifically for that game.
What are the Chytrids?
They are a new alien race with 12 miniatures and their own spore mechanics, making ship exploration much more dangerous.
Does it come with the Hacker and Xenobiologist characters?
No. Those two characters are already included in the Lockdown base box, so they aren't repeated here.
Are the campaign missions difficult?
Nemesis is known for being ruthless. The 'Untold Stories #3' missions maintain this level, requiring cooperation (and luck) to survive.
Can I use it with original Nemesis expansions?
Yes! The pack includes specific cards to integrate Lockdown with Aftermath, Carnomorphs, and Void Seeders.
Is the game very complex?
With a BGG weight of 3.66, it's for experienced gamers. If you already know Nemesis, the curve is smooth; if not, be prepared to read the manual carefully.
