Awaken Realms , Carnomorph Expansion: Nemesis, Board Game, Ages 12+, 1-5 Players, 90-180 Minutes Playing Time Multicolor REBNEMENCAR

Origin Story: The game is set in the aftermath of a catastrophic event triggered by a seemingly innocent cat onboard a spaceship. Its accidental exposure to a mysterious XNA virus leads to a nightmarish scenario where players must confront grotesque Carnomorphs. Larvae Threat: Players face the initial onslaught of Metagorgers, the larval stage of the Carnomorphs. These creatures, while initially manageable, pose a threat as they can rapidly multiply and evolve into more dangerous forms if left unchecked. Evolutionary Progression: Shamblers, the evolved form of Metagorgers, present a significant challenge. They are stronger and more formidable, actively seeking out and consuming entire bodies to evolve further. Players must strategize to prevent their evolution by disposing of bodies or risk facing even deadlier Fleshbeasts. Intense Combat Dynamics: Combat mechanics emphasize a proactive approach, pushing players to engage in direct confrontation rather than avoiding conflict. The stakes are high as failing to eliminate threats promptly can lead to the emergence of more powerful adversaries like Butchers. Mutation Mechanics: Mutation cards introduce additional layers of complexity, offering both advantages and disadvantages to players. These mutations, portrayed in a cinematic fashion, force players to adapt their strategies dynamically while facing the ever-escalating threat of the Carnomorphs.
