Victory Point Games began Kickstarting an updated edition of their solitaire game Nemo’s War earlier today. During gameplay the player takes on the role of the Jules Verne anti-hero, Captain Nemo, as you encounter a myriad of challenges from the novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The original edition came out in 2009 and you can check out our review here although I’m kind of surprised VPG didn’t use our review in the KS write up since it scored very highly. Oh well…
You can reserve your copy at the $56 pledge level and the Kickstarter project is well on its way to funding in the first 24 hours.
From VPG:
Set in the year 1870 of Jules Verne’s classic novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, assume the role and motive of Captain Nemo and set sail in his amazing electric-powered submarine, the Nautilus.
Nemo’s War: Second Edition is a single-player board game of underwater exploration and combat. You will search the oceans, combat vessels of all nations, brave the hazards of the seas, find mysterious treasures, behold and chronicle amazing wonders, and travel around the world in your quest for knowledge and vengeance.
This second edition of Victory Point Games’ popular solitaire game from designer Chris Taylor is a greatly enhanced offering, featuring mass-production printing and amazing Ian O’Toole art and graphics throughout.
- Decision-rich, narrative-enhanced solitaire gameplay
- Four Nemo “Motive” objectives, three levels of difficulty, plus other gameplay options
- Channel your “inner-Nemo” in an immersive strategy role-playing experience
- Great references and quotations from 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne throughout

Sorry, Jeff! Every quote and review we used was for the SECOND edition. You’re right, though, the first edition was very highly praised in reviews, but we have plenty of new material to pull from.

Not a problem Alan; just thought it strange to see a lot of BGG user quotes so I assumed they were for the first edition.
