A new installment in the beloved Nemesis horror board game series has just been revealed with a crowdfunding campaign, and it met its goal in less than a minute.

Nemesis Legacy promises to take the series' cat-and-mouse mechanics and turns them into a long and bloody campaign where each of your decisions have consequences. It seems as though fans are very into this idea, because the Gamefound pledge page is well over 1,600% funded… and counting. (The last time I checked, it was sitting at €818K in pledges, or $920K.)

If you want to see why we adore the series so much, you can pick up the latest instalment (Nemesis Retaliation) from Miniature Market or, if you're based in the UK, for £151.20 via Wayland Games.

The original Nemesis is one of our all-time tabletop favorites, and it's arguably among the best board games ever made if you're a horror fan.

The basic premise is pure Alien; you're trapped in a facility with creatures unknown that would really like to rip you limb from limb. To make matters worse, not every player is working toward the same goal of getting out alive. Some have their own selfish objective, so you're never sure if you can wholly trust your teammates. The resulting tension is exquisite.

Nemesis Legacy differs by introducing a 35+ hour story with branching missions that shape what comes next with permanent changes. However, it's "fully replayable" thanks to a recharge pack that lets you start the campaign again.
