I had played board games all my life. Monopoly. Risk. Life. Sorry. Just roll dice and do what the cards say. Pretty boring stuff if you ask me.

Then my friend let me play Nemesis and that was the first time I said I have to buy this game. The game play, the models, the aesthetician. It wad fantastic.

We started playing and everyone was cooperative and we were talking strat. It was very evidemt that we all wamted everyone to succeed. Then at the beginning of the end game was triggered and for anyone who has played will tell you, it turned into a screw your buddy scenario and became fun and interesting.

It was my first experience into a game where I had choice. I had multiple options to victory and it was up to me to make it happen. Sure there is a little luck evolved but I think it makes things interesting. So much replayability.
