I really really really want to like Nemesis, but that price hurts. Huge fan of the Aliens series, which this draws inspiration from, and this has some Among Us elements thrown in, but I've heard too many people say that the sheer amount of RNG and player elimination break the game. There are things that get you killed earlyish, and then you just sit there for 2½ hours while your mates finish the game, and lose anyway because the game is all random anyway. There's little skill involved, and the handful of strategies that work apparently discourage players from doing game mechanics (using up cards to perform an action because there might be a sneak attack). I love the ideas behind it, but I know I'll probably never get anyone to take the time to learn/play it with me, and definitely won't have anyone to play again if reviewers' experiences (which seem to be common) happen to me too. I could justify it around $40, but $140 is a massive reach.

Nemesis is definitely one of those games that isn't for everyone. Well, more the whole list is, in that regard. But Nemisis is probably the main one that'll leave a sour taste for folks. Player elimination is never fun, though in games like this it's kind of necessary. There have to be stakes for all the players. That said, it's not right to have RNG dictate so much. Nemesis does do a LOT right, and I'm remiss to not have that be what I think about it, but I'd never blame anyone for not being able to get over the glaring flaws. Particularly the price.

Yeah, speaking of definition, BGG defines 'semi coop' very specific as 'a game where only one player wins or everybody loses together', whereas general players take it as 'anything that allows you to work for and against each other'. But yes, semi coop games allows things to be more fluid and interesting.

I probably read the definition awhile ago, but couldn't remember exactly what BGG states. Either way, I think the spirit of the concept and idea remains true :D

The only game that I've played that MIGHT be considered semi-cooperative (and I admit that that's kind of debatable) is Fortress America. They did have rules that allowed for individual players to win instead of, for example, the invaders to win as a team. But after playing it that way, most people decided to simply consider it a 1 vs. many type game instead. That said, I think I recall that in tournament play, at least how they ran it at Origins, you'd be compared against all other players who played the same faction as you did (I think -- it's been so long since I've played the game).

Interesting to know! I'm personally really unfamiliar with Fortress America, so can't speak much about it, but I'd argue that differences in tournament play wouldn't really count in this context. Regardless, I like the idea of having the potential for skirmish team games to include individual goals for the members. I know a handful of the COIN series games do that.

Haha yea, I've been debating about something like this, sadly haven't had much time to consider either how it'd work or what to include. Not sure if I'd focus more on fun/satirical ideas or really try to get something usable for folks. We'll see.
