Three incredible worlds to explore and all the core 20 Strong components you need to enjoy other decks! 

The base game bundle comes with the 20 Strong: Nemesis core box as well as the Tainted Grail and Etherfields decks. The core box contains the titular 20 Strong dice, a tracker dial and chip, general rules of play, and finally the 20 Strong deck set in the iconic world of Awaken Realms’ Nemesis! 

While every other 20 Strong deck is solo-only, 20 Strong: Nemesis changes the game and offers the only cooperative play experience in the entire series. 

Of course, 20 Strong is designed to transport you to many universes across many games. To help with that, you have TWO more options for when you tire of terrifying aliens chasing you around your ship.

20 Strong: Etherfields pulls you into a surreal dreamscape with flipping cards and an uncertain future. Your deck is constantly evolving as you attempt to navigate your nightmares.

If traditional fantasy is more your speed, though, 20 Strong: Tainted Grail offers a fast-paced take on deckbuilding, giving you an exceptionally easy-to-learn and quick-to-table dark adventure full of crunchy decision-making and experience.

In 20 Strong: Nemesis, you desperately want to reach Earth in one piece, but it won’t be easy. As you explore the ship and evade the intruders, you may encounter crewmates willing to betray you. Roll dice to move throughout the ship. Discover critical functions like generators, engines, and escape pods. The longer you take, the more noise you’ll make.

Rooms start inactive at the beginning of the game, so you’ll need to get the ship up and running again to have any chance of escaping. Get the generators online and engines running, and prep the escape pods! The ship is full of useful items. Salvage what military or technical tools you can and utilize them wisely. Every player has their own objectives. Their choices might even require you not to make it off the ship alive. Focus on your survival and make sure you’re in one of those escape pods!

In 20 Strong: Etherfields, your hero will move through an ever-shifting dreamscape map on each of their turns, making unique connections and spending resources to trigger special actions in a variety of evocative rooms. Cards will flip during gameplay and will remain that way through future sessions, creating a deck that is unique to you and the sum of your decisions throughout every game you’ve played.

Expand your awareness, deploy your cunning, and unleash your wrath. Influence cards shape what’s possible in the dream. Spending these resources will augment your pool of dice and keep you moving through the dream. Players are free to use actions whenever they wish, leading to some of the most creative play in the 20 Strong universe. Work over time to uncover the deck’s secrets, finding and defeating every hidden boss Etherfields has to offer.wn objectives. Their choices might even require you not to make it off the ship alive. Focus on your survival and make sure you’re in one of those escape pods!

In 20 Strong: Tainted Grail, you will choose your path as four enemy types confront you, each one with a different level of difficulty and different rewards for taking them down. Shift between foes to build a well-rounded hero for a final fight against the boss. Combos in combat are critical as the dial severely limits the dice you can apply to enemies, but you can get around those restrictions by playing combat cards to unlock more options.

The deck-building and combat card combinations change your strategy each time you engage an enemy! If you don’t want to face a certain enemy or are scouting for a different one further down in its deck, cast it aside into the Menhir Stack at the end of an engagement. After eight turns, you will face off against an extremely difficult boss, who will bring one or more Menhir Stack minions along for the fight. If you defeat it, you’ve won the game!
