Intruders of the shown type move across the Corridor
number indicated. If that corridor is a Technical Corri-
dor, see Technical Corridors below.
• If an Intruder ends its movement in an unexplored
Room, do not remove it and don’t reveal the Room
(or its Exploration token).
• If an adult Intruder is instructed to be placed, but all
8 models are already on board, remove all Adult models
not in Combat. Put the corresponding Intruder tokens
back in the Intruder bag (if possible). Place an Adult In-
truder model in the Room where the Encounter occurred.
TECHNICAL CORRIDORS
• Both the Technical Corridors Entrances (present in
some Rooms) and the special space of Technical
Corridors are not normally accessible to the Characters.
• If a Noise marker should be placed in a Technical
Corridor Entrance, place it in the Technical Corridors
space instead.

• If an Intruder moves to the Technical Corridors
Entrance, discard all its Injury markers, return its token
to the Intruder bag, and remove its mini from the board.

WINNING THE GAME
PLAYER GOALS
A game of Nemesis may result in multiple winners.
To consider a player a winner, they must meet 2 con-
ditions:
1. Survive: [1] hibernate in the Hibernatorium with
the ship still functioning and jumping to Earth (or Mars
for the Quarantine Objective) OR [2] use one of the
Escape Pods to evacuate the ship.
2. Fulfill their Objective: Per their objective card.
END OF THE GAME
The game ends when one of these conditions is met:
• The Time marker moves on the final blue space of the
Time Track. The ship jumps into hyperspace. Everyone
on board and not in Hibernation dies.
Hyperjump death does not apply to Intruders!
• The Self-Destruct marker moves to the final red
space of its Track OR you are instructed to place a 9th
Fire or Malfunction marker. The ship is destroyed. All on
board (both awake and in Hibernation) die.
The ship being destroyed does kill all Intruders.
• The last alive (not hibernating) Character on board
the ship dies, Hibernates or uses an Escape Pod. Move
the Self-Destruct (if active) and Time markers to the
final red space on their respective tracks. In both cases
resolve the effects of those markers as described above.
If one of these conditions is met and at least 1 Character
Survived, proceed to the Victory Check .
VICTORY CHECK
1. Check Engines: If two of the top Engine tokens
do not have a working status, the ship explodes.
All Characters on board, (awake and hibernated), and
Intruders die.
Malfunction markers do not affect an Engines status.

If the ship is not headed toward Earth, all Characters
asleep in the Hibernatorium die. (Unless you have
the Quarantine Objective.)

3. Check Contamination: Each alive Character (in the
Hibernatorium or an Escape Pod):
A) Scans all Contamination cards they have.
B) If there is at least 1 “INFECTED” card, shuffle all cards
then draw 4 cards. If there is at least 1 Contamination
card (Infected or not), the Character dies. If there are
none, they are lucky to survive.
• If your Character board has a Larva, skip step A.
4. Check Objective(s): Each player whose Character
is still alive at this step reveals their Objective card
to the other players and check if they have met all
its requirements. If so, then they have won the game.

ability. If your insanity is lower, or if the card cannot be
resolved; increase your Insanity level by 1.
Encounters: When an Encounter takes place, the Void
Seeder type placed depends on the Insanity Level of
the Character who triggered the Encounter.
LAIRS
Lairs count as Intruders for the purpose of any Action.
Characters in the same Room as a Lair are in combat.
Lairs do not move, retreat, attack, or force players to
choose Objectives.
Lair Exploration: Place a Lair mini in this Room.
Do not preform a Noise roll.
Lair Effect: Make a Noise roll after every 2 actions (or
1 action and pass) while in a Room with a Lair.
Lair Injuries/Death: or above hits a Lair.
1. Draw 2 Intruder Attack cards, check the Blood icons.
2. If there is a Retreat Icon on any of the cards
drawn, the Lair is not Destroyed.
3. If the Blood icon of the higher valued card is
equal to or lower than the number of injuries, The Lair
is destroyed. Place an Intruder Carcass. Remove the Lair
mini and place it on the Void Seeder Board.
VOID SEEDERS
The terms Void Seeder and Intruder are equivalent.
Void Seeders ignore closed Doors during Movement.
INJURIES/DEATH
When a Void Seeder is defeated, add a random Void
Seeder token to the bag. Void seeders do not leave
Carcasses when they die! (Except for Lairs.)
When attacking a Void Seeder, each type treats their
Injury Effect differently as follows:
Lurker: Draw 2 Void Seeder Attack cards. Check
the “Blood” icons, the lower numbered card is
used. If on either card, the Void Seeder Retreats.
Whisperer: Same as regular Adult Intruder.
Stalker: Draw 2 Void Seeder Attack cards. Check
the “Blood” icons, the higher numbered card is
used. If on either card, the Void Seeder Retreats.
Despoiler: When it would receive an injury, do
not place one. But still draw a Void Seeder Attack
card to check for Retreat . The Despoiler is only
defeated when all 3 Lair spots on the Void Seeder
board are filled. (By finding and defeating all 3 Lairs.)
Defeating all 3 Lairs fulfills “The Great Hunt” Objective.
Once defeated, the Despoiler can never return to the game.
OTHER CHANGES
CLOTHES ITEM
There is no Slime in Void Seeders so it cannot be
removed, but this Item still dresses 1 Serious wound.
REST/SHOWER ROOM/CANTEEN
When performing these Actions players may reduce
their Insanity level by 1 (unless you’re at level 3)
and/or Scan Contamination cards from their Hand.
(Canteen still also heals 1 Light wound).
SURGERY/ANTIDOTE ITEM
When performing these Actions, reduce your Insanity
level to 3. (Instead of removing a Larva). All other rules
regarding these actions are the same.
LABORATORY
To Analyze a Character Insanity Level (and thus reveal
that Weakness) 1 living Character with an Insanity of 3+
must be present in the Room. All other rules regarding
the other Weaknesses/Laboratory are the same.
INFECTED RESULT
When scanning, if an INFECTED result is revealed,
increase your Insanity level to 5 (not above 5).
CONTAMINATION CHECK (AT END OF GAME)
A. Each alive Character checks ALL their cards. For
each Contamination card, (Infected or not), they raise
their Insanity level by 1, until they reach level 5. (Cannot
go above level 5 or die in this step).
B. Each Character who has an Insanity level of 5,
shuffles all cards, then draws 4 cards. If there is at least
1 Contamination card (Infected or not), the Character
dies. If there are none, they are lucky to survive.
• If you’re already at Insanity level 5, skip step A.
ENCOUNTER
Encounters can be triggered by some event cards.
1. Discard all Noise markers from all Corridors
connected to this Room (including Technical Corridors).
2. Draw 1 Void Seeder token from the bag and resolve
it according to the tokens below.
Void Seeder Token: Place a Void Seeder
mini in this Room corresponding to the
Insanity level of the encountering Character.
Compare the number on the Void Seeder token with
the number of cards in the player’s hand (including
Contamination cards). If the number of cards in their
hand is lower than the number on the token, a Surprise
Attack occurs − receive 1 Contamination card and
resolve a Panic card. Otherwise nothing happens.
Discard the drawn Void Seeder token.
If there are no more of a mini, use a lower level Void Seeder.
Insanity Token: Place a Noise marker in
all connecting Corridors. The player who
triggered this Encounter resolves a Panic
Card. Return this token to the bag.
If Laika triggers this, Noise is placed around her Room and the
Bounty Hunter resolves the Panic Card.
Blank: Place a Noise marker in all connecting
Corridors. Return this token to the bag.
EVENT PHASE CHANGES

Carnomorph Adaptations randomly face down. Place
a Shambler, Fleshbeast, and Butcher mini on their
corresponding Adaptations.
4. Shuffle and place Carnomorph Attack, Event, and
Mutation decks.
MUTATIONS
INFECTED Result: When Scanning, if an INFECTED
result is revealed, gain a Mutation marker.
Mutation Markers: When gaining a Mutation marker:
• If you do NOT have a Mutation card, draw 2 Mutation
cards, choose 1 to keep face down, and reshuffle the
other. (Don’t gain a Mutation marker).
• If you DO have a Mutation card, place a Mutation
marker (Ammo/Injury) on the Character mini picture on
your board. If a Character gains a 4th Mutation marker,
their Character dies. (Place a Shambler mini and a
Character Corpse in the Room they died in).
There is no way to remove a Mutation Marker.
Mutation Action: To preform a Mutation Action from

hand and gain 1 Mutation marker.
• If the card is INFECTED, preform the INFECTED action
on the Mutation card. (Discard the Contamination card).
• If the card isn’t infected, remove this Contamination
card and place a new one in your discard pile. Then
perform the NOT INFECTED action on the Mutation card.
Surgery/Antidote Item: Instead of removing a Larva,
these actions now remove a Mutation card. All other
rules are the same as the base game.
CONTAMINATION CHECK (AT END OF GAME)

Escape Pod):
A) Scans all Contamination cards they have. If there
is at least 1 “INFECTED” card, gain a Mutation card.
B) If the player has a Mutation card, shuffle all cards
then draw 4 cards. For each Contamination card drawn,
gain 1 Mutation marker. If the Character gains a 4th
Mutation marker, they die.
• If you have a Mutation card, skip step A.
CARNOMORPHS
The terms Carnomorph and Intruder are equivalent.
METAGORGER ATTACK
Characters attacked by Metagorgers gain a Mutation
card (if the Character doesn’t already have one), a
Contamination card, and suffer 1 Light Wound. Then
add a Shambler token to the bag, and remove the
Metagorger mini from the board.
All other Carnomorph attacks are the same as the
base game Adult Intruders.
INJURIES/DEATH
When a Carnomorph is attacked, draw a Carnomorph
Attack card and check the blood icons. The top number
corresponds to Metagorgers only. The bottom number
applies to all other Carnomorph types. If the number
in the matching blood icon is equal to or lower than
the number of Injury markers, the Carnomorph is killed.
However, Carnomorphs have different effects after
dying and removing their mini, as follows:
Metagorger: Place an Intruder Carcass normally.
Shambler: Place an Intruder Carcass normally.
Fleshbeast: Place an Intruder Carcass and a
Shambler mini in this Room.
Butcher: Place 2 Shamblers in this Room.
Once killed, the Butcher can never return to the game.
CARNOMORPH SPECIFICS
Red Metagorger: whenever you would add a
Metagorger token to the bag, always add Red
Metagorger tokens first. (Then blue if you run out).
Butcher: The Butcher cannot enter Technical
Corridors. It stays in the Room instead.
CARNOMORPH ADAPTATIONS
Each time a Carnomorph type appears the first time,
(besides a Metagorger), remove and place on the board
the corresponding mini from the Carnomorph board.
Then reveal the Adaptation card that was below it.
Revealed Adaptations apply to ALL Carnomorphs.
Laboratory: When Characters use the Laboratory to
discover a Weakness, they instead discard the revealed
corresponding Adaptation card from the game.
The Adaptation must be revealed to discard it.
Weakness Objectives: All Objectives that require an
Intruder Weakness to be discovered, instead require
the corresponding Adaptation(s) to be discarded in
order for the Objective to be fulfilled.
ENCOUNTERS
The only change is:
Blank: Place a Noise marker in all connecting
Corridors. Return this token to the bag. (If
the Blank token is the last token in the bag,
add 1 Metagorger token to the bag).
EVENT PHASE CHANGES
4. Time Track (Same as base game).
5. Carnomorph Attack and Feeding.
1. Carnomorphs in Combat with a Character attack them.
2. Carnomorphs not in combat Feed on Heavy Objects/
Metagorgers in the same Room as them (see below). If
there are more than one Carnomorph in the same Room,
resolve Feeding according to the following priority order:
Butcher > Fleshbeast > Shambler > Metagorger
Feeding: 1. Heal: remove all Injury markers from the
feeding Carnomorph.
2. Evolve: replace its mini with a Carnomorph of the
next level as follows:
Metagorger > Shambler > Fleshbeat > Butcher.
The Butcher cannot Evolve any further, but still Heals/Eats.
3. Eat: Remove Heavy Object/Metagorger from Room.
If there’s more than 1 Heavy object/Metagorger, remove
them in the following priority order:
Red Character Corpse > Intruder Egg > Intruder Carcass >
Metagorger > Blue Character Corpse
If the Blue Character Corpse is removed, one Objective cannot
be fulfilled.
6-7. Fire Damage. Resolve Event card. (Same as base).
8. Bag Development: Draw 1 token and resolve its effect:
Blue Metagorger
Remove this token and add 1 Metagorger
token to the bag. All players perform a
noise roll in order except those in combat.
This changes the blue token to a red one if possible.
Red Metagorger
Place a Metagorger mini in ALL Rooms
containing a Metagorger, and/or a Heavy
Object. (Even if it’s in a Characters Hands). If the Nest is
explored and not destroyed, also place a Metagorger
there. Return this token to the bag.
Placing Metagorgers in this way doesn’t cause Surprise Attacks.
This does cause players to choose their Objectives.
Shambler
Return this to the bag. All players perform
a noise roll in order except those in combat.
Fleshbeast
Return this to the bag. All players perform
a noise roll in order except those in combat.
Butcher

token from the bag.
Blank
Return this to the bag. Remove from the Board
all Shamblers which are not in a Room with
a Character. Put their respective tokens in the bag, +1

MISCELLANEOUS
INTRUDER MOVEMENT
• When drawing an Event card during Event phase:
Intruders of the shown type move across the Corridor
number indicated. If that corridor is a Technical Corri-
dor, see Technical Corridors below.
• If an Intruder ends its movement in an unexplored
Room, do not remove it and don’t reveal the Room
(or its Exploration token).
• If an adult Intruder is instructed to be placed, but all 8
models are already on board, remove all Adult models not
in Combat. Put the corresponding Intruder tokens back
in the Intruder bag (if possible). Place an Adult Intruder
model in the Room where the Encounter occurred.
TECHNICAL CORRIDORS
• Both the Technical Corridors Entrances (present in
some Rooms) and the special space of Technical
Corridors are not normally accessible to the Characters.
• If a Noise marker should be placed in a Technical
Corridor Entrance, place it in the Technical Corridors
space instead.
Technical Corridors can never hold Door tokens.
• If an Intruder moves to the Technical Corridors
Entrance, discard all its Injury markers, return its token
to the Intruder bag, and remove its mini from the board.
Don’t remove a Noise from the Technical Corridors space.
DOOR TOKENS
Only placed in Corridors. Each Corridor can only have
one Door token. Doors do not affect Noise markers, and
can have 3 statuses:
1. OPEN (No Door token.)
2. CLOSED (Standing Door token.) Characters and
Intruders cannot move through this Corridor. Grenade
throwing is also affected. When an Intruder tries to
move through a Corridor with a Closed Door token, it
does not move but destroys the Door instead.
3. DESTROYED (Lying down Door token.) Movement is
allowed through this Corridor. A Destroyed Door can
never be Closed again. (Exception: the Mechanic’s
Plasma Torch Item.)
• If there are no Door tokens left, take any Closed Door
token on the board and place it in the required Corridor.
• If several Intruders move from the same Room, they
destroy the Door instead. All stay in the starting Room.
Danger results on a Noise roll ignore Closed Doors!
WINNING THE GAME
PLAYER GOALS
A game of Nemesis may result in multiple winners.
For a player to win, they must meet 2 conditions:
1. Survive: [1] hibernate in the Hibernatorium with
the ship still functioning and jumping to Earth (or Mars
for the Quarantine Objective) OR [2] use one of the
Escape Pods to evacuate the ship.
2. Fulfill their Objective: Per their objective card.
END OF THE GAME
The game ends when one of these conditions is met:
• The Time marker moves on the final blue space of the
Time Track. The ship jumps into hyperspace. Everyone
on board and not in Hibernation dies.
Hyperjump death does not apply to Intruders!
• The Self-Destruct marker moves to the final red
space of its Track OR you are instructed to place a 9th
Fire or Malfunction marker. The ship is destroyed. All on
board (both awake and in Hibernation) die.
The ship being destroyed does kill all Intruders.
• The last alive (not hibernating) Character on board
the ship dies, Hibernates or uses an Escape Pod. Move
the Self-Destruct (if active) and Time markers to the
final red space on their respective tracks. In both cases
resolve the effects of those markers as described above.
If one of these conditions is met and at least 1 Character
survived, proceed to the Victory Check .
VICTORY CHECK
1. Check Engines: If two of the top Engine tokens
do not have a working status, the ship explodes.
All Characters on board, (awake and hibernated), and
Intruders die.
Malfunction markers do not affect an Engines status.
2. Check Coordinates: reveal the Coordinates card.
Check the current space of the Destination marker.
If the ship is not headed toward Earth, all Characters
asleep in the Hibernatorium die. (Unless you have
the Quarantine Objective.)
Death from destination does not apply to Intruders.
3. Check Contamination: Each alive Character (in the
Hibernatorium or an Escape Pod):
A) Scans all Contamination cards they have.
B) If there is at least 1 “INFECTED” card, shuffle all cards
then draw 4 cards. If there is at least 1 Contamination
card (Infected or not), the Character dies. If there are
none, they are lucky to survive.
• If your Character board has a Larva, skip step A.
4. Check Objective(s): Each player whose Character
is still alive at this step reveals their Objective card
to the other players and check if they have met all
its requirements. If so, then they have won the game.
ENDING THE GAME BEFORE OTHER PLAYERS
If any Character uses an Escape Pod, Hibernates or
dies, they no longer actively participate in the game.
At the end of the game, Characters that are still alive
determine if all their Objectives have been met, and
thus if they have won or not.

CARNOMORPHS
The terms Carnomorph and Intruder are equivalent.
METAGORGER ATTACK
Characters attacked by Metagorgers gain a Mutation
card (if the Character doesn’t already have one), a
Contamination card, and suffer 1 Light Wound. Then
add a Shambler token to the bag, and remove the
Metagorger mini from the board.
All other Carnomorph attacks are the same as the
base game Adult Intruders.
INJURIES/DEATH
When a Carnomorph is attacked, draw a Carnomorph
Attack card and check the blood icons. The top number
corresponds to Metagorgers only. The bottom number
applies to all other Carnomorph types. If the number
in the matching blood icon is equal to or lower than

Revealed Adaptations apply to ALL Carnomorphs.
Laboratory: When Characters use the Laboratory to
discover a Weakness, they instead discard the revealed
corresponding Adaptation card from the game.
The Adaptation must be revealed to discard it.
Weakness Objectives: All Objectives that require an
Intruder Weakness to be discovered, instead require
the corresponding Adaptation(s) to be discarded in
order for the Objective to be fulfilled.
ENCOUNTERS
The only change is:
Blank: Place a Noise marker in all connecting
Corridors. Return this token to the bag. (If
the Blank token is the last token in the bag,
add 1 Metagorger token to the bag).
EVENT PHASE CHANGES
4. Time Track (Same as base game).
5. Carnomorph Attack and Feeding.
1. Carnomorphs in Combat with a Character attack them.
2. Carnomorphs not in combat Feed on Heavy Objects/
Metagorgers in the same Room as them (see below). If
there are more than one Carnomorph in the same Room,
resolve Feeding according to the following priority order:
Butcher > Fleshbeast > Shambler > Metagorger
Feeding: 1. Heal: remove all Injury markers from the
feeding Carnomorph.
2. Evolve: replace its mini with a Carnomorph of the
next level as follows:
Metagorger > Shambler > Fleshbeat > Butcher.
The Butcher cannot Evolve any further, but still Heals/Eats.
3. Eat: Remove Heavy Object/Metagorger from Room.
If there’s more than 1 Heavy object/Metagorger, remove
them in the following priority order:
Red Character Corpse > Intruder Egg > Intruder Carcass >
Metagorger > Blue Character Corpse
If the Blue Character Corpse is removed, One Objective cannot
be fulfilled.
6-7. Fire Damage. Resolve Event card. (Same as base).
8. Bag Development: Draw 1 token and resolve its effect:
Blue Metagorger

token to the bag. All players perform a
noise roll in order except those in combat.
This changes the blue token to a red one if possible.
Red Metagorger
Place a Metagorger mini in ALL Rooms
containing a Metagorger, and/or a Heavy
Object. (Even if it’s in a Characters Hands). If the Nest is
explored and not destroyed, also place a Metagorger
there. Return this token to the bag.
Placing Metagorgers in this way doesn’t cause Surprise Attacks.
This does cause players to choose their Objectives.
Shambler
Return this to the bag. All players perform
a noise roll in order except those in combat.
Fleshbeast
Return this to the bag. All players perform
a noise roll in order except those in combat.
Butcher

cards, then player order. If there is no Slimed Character,
place the Butcher in the first players Room.) Remove this
token from the bag.
Blank
Return this to the bag. Remove from the Board
all Shamblers which are not in a Room with
a Character. Put their respective tokens in the bag, +1
Metagorger token. All players then perform a Noise
roll except those in combat.
 ——VOID SEEDER PLAYER AID——
SETUP SUMMARY
Remove: the “Room covered in Slime”, the 4 “Slime” and
“Silence” Exploration tokens, and the original Event and
Intruder Attack decks from the game.
Same as Base: Nemesis Board. (Remaining) Room
placement. Coordinates/Destination. Escape Pods.
Engine tokens. The Contamination, Serious Wound, Item/
Craft Item decks. All Markers, tokens, and dice. Status
markers. Character Drafting and components. Objectives.
Start in Hibernatorium. Blue Character Corpse.
Different: 1. Add the 3 “Lair” Exploration tokens with
the others and randomly place them face down on
each Room tile and in each Engine Room. (No Items
in Engines).
2. Add the following Void Seeder tokens to the bag:
1 Blank, 1 random Void Seeder token per player, +2 more.
Then add 1 Insanity token per player, matching their
Character’s color.
3. Place the Void Seeder board with 5 Eggs, and 3 Void
Seeder Weaknesses randomly face down.
4. Shuffle and place Void Seeder Attack, Event, and
Panic decks.
5. Place 1 insanity Track card on each Character
board (covering up their mini picture and the Slime
Space). Place a Status marker on space 1 of this track.
INSANITY SYSTEM
Insanity Track card: this marks the Insanity Level of a
Character. Once you reach level 3 or above, you can
never reduce it back to level 2. (See arrows on card).
If a Character with an Insanity Level 5 increases their
Sanity Level, that Character dies. (Place a Character
Corpse in the Room and drop all Heavy Objects).
Panic Cards: When drawn, if your insanity is equal to
or higher than the value on the card, resolve the cards
ability. If your insanity is lower, or if the card cannot be
resolved; increase your Insanity level by 1.
Encounters: When an Encounter takes place, the Void
Seeder type placed depends on the Insanity Level of
the Character who triggered the Encounter.
LAIRS
Lairs count as Intruders for the purpose of any Action.
Characters in the same Room as a Lair are in combat.
Lairs do not move, retreat, attack, or force players to
choose Objectives.
Lair Exploration: Place a Lair mini in this Room.
Do not preform a Noise roll.
Lair Effect: Make a Noise roll after every 2 actions (or
1 action and pass) while in a Room with a Lair.
Lair Injuries/Death: or above hits a Lair.
1. Draw 2 Intruder Attack cards, check the Blood icons.
2. If there is a Retreat Icon on any of the cards
drawn, the Lair is not Destroyed.
3. If the Blood icon of the higher valued card is
equal to or lower than the number of injuries, The Lair
is destroyed. Place an Intruder Carcass. Remove the Lair
mini and place it on the Void Seeder Board.
VOID SEEDERS
The terms Void Seeder and Intruder are equivalent.
Void Seeders ignore closed Doors during Movement.
INJURIES/DEATH
When a Void Seeder is defeated, add a random Void
Seeder token to the bag. Void seeders do not leave
Carcasses when they die! (Except for Lairs.)
When attacking a Void Seeder, each type treats their
Injury Effect differently as follows:
Lurker: Draw 2 Void Seeder Attack cards. Check
the “Blood” icons, the lower numbered card is
used. If on either card, the Void Seeder Retreats.
Whisperer: Same as regular Adult Intruder.
Stalker: Draw 2 Void Seeder Attack cards. Check
the “Blood” icons, the higher numbered card is
used. If on either card, the Void Seeder Retreats.
Despoiler: When it would receive an injury, do
not place one. But still draw a Void Seeder Attack
card to check for Retreat . The Despoiler is only
defeated when all 3 Lair spots on the Void Seeder
board are filled. (By finding and defeating all 3 Lairs.)
Defeating all 3 Lairs fulfills “The Great Hunt” Objective.
Once defeated, the Despoiler can never return to the game.
OTHER CHANGES
CLOTHES ITEM

removed, but this Item still dresses 1 Serious wound.
REST/SHOWER ROOM/CANTEEN
When performing these Actions players may reduce
their Insanity level by 1 (unless you’re at level 3)
and/or Scan Contamination cards from their Hand.

level to 3. (Instead of removing a Larva). All other rules
regarding these actions are the same.
LABORATORY

that Weakness) 1 living Character with an Insanity of 3+
must be present in the Room. All other rules regarding
the other Weaknesses/Laboratory are the same.
INFECTED RESULT
When scanning, if an INFECTED result is revealed,
increase your Insanity level to 5 (not above 5).
CONTAMINATION CHECK (AT END OF GAME)
A. Each alive Character checks ALL their cards. For
each Contamination card, (Infected or not), they raise
their Insanity level by 1, until they reach level 5. (Cannot
go above level 5 or die in this step).
B. Each Character who has an Insanity level of 5,
shuffles all cards, then draws 4 cards. If there is at least
1 Contamination card (Infected or not), the Character
dies. If there are none, they are lucky to survive.
• If you’re already at Insanity level 5, skip step A.
ENCOUNTER
Encounters can be triggered by some event cards.
1. Discard all Noise markers from all Corridors
connected to this Room (including Technical Corridors).
2. Draw 1 Void Seeder token from the bag and resolve
it according to the tokens below.
Void Seeder Token: Place a Void Seeder
mini in this Room corresponding to the
Insanity level of the encountering Character.
Compare the number on the Void Seeder token with
the number of cards in the player’s hand (including
Contamination cards). If the number of cards in their
hand is lower than the number on the token, a Surprise
Attack occurs − receive 1 Contamination card and
resolve a Panic card. Otherwise nothing happens.
Discard the drawn Void Seeder token.
If there are no more of a mini, use a lower level Void Seeder.
Insanity Token: Place a Noise marker in
all connecting Corridors. The player who
triggered this Encounter resolves a Panic
Card. Return this token to the bag.

Corridors. Return this token to the bag.
