Join Rob as he cracks open the brand-new 20 Strong: Nemesis from Chip Theory Games, part of the Awakened Realms series. In this unboxing, Rob walks through everything in the box, from the general rules of play and game-specific rule books to the play reference sheets, dice, magnetic tracker, and Chip Theory’s signature high-quality PVC cards. Follow along as he explores the components piece by piece and gives you a first look at how this card-and-dice adventure is put together.

20 Strong: Nemesis is a compact solo-to-3-player game where you’re desperately trying to escape a ship and reach Earth in one piece. Roll dice to move through the ship, power up critical systems like generators and engines, prep the escape pods, and salvage useful items along the way—all while evading intruders and making noise the longer you take. Every player has their own objectives, and sometimes those goals mean others might not make it off the ship alive. Designed by Joshua Carlson and Logan Giannini and published in 2026, it plays in about 40–60 minutes.
