About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey folks! Ready for another dose of adrenaline in Nemesis? The Exertion mini-expansion has arrived, a promo pack that promises to spice up your survival sessions even more. Launched through the Dice Tower campaign on Gamefound in 2025, this little gem brings a deck of 8 new cards, ready to give you a little boost (or screw you over completely!).
The concept is straightforward: when your character is on the brink of kicking the bucket, reaching a critical health point, you'll draw two of these cards and keep one. Think of it as a secret trump card, a wild card to use in that moment of total desperation. Need to escape a stubborn alien? Want to gain extra breathing room to complete the objective? This card could be your salvation! But hey, nothing comes for free, right? Using this magic card will come at a cost, so choose your moment wisely. It's the kind of addition that makes us think twice before diving headfirst into danger, but it rewards those who know how to take a risk. If you already enjoy the tension and twists of Nemesis, this mini-expansion is a must-have to add another layer of strategy and surprise to your games. Just be mindful of the language dependency, as these new cards will require a good translation to avoid headaches during gameplay.
