Why we say this

What this recommendation is based on

An owner reports about 43 inches of minimum width and 71 inches of length as normal for five players, closely matching this bound.

Real-table report: A published owner table dimension or explicit fit outcome informs the recommendation. It is field evidence, not a controlled laboratory measurement.

Dimensions are planning recommendations for the declared setup, not universal physical minima. Layout, edition, scenario, organizers, helper apps, and expansions can change the result.

Straight answers

Nemesis table-size FAQ

What size table do I need for Nemesis?

Use at least 72 × 42 inches for the declared setup. A 84 × 48 inch surface is the more comfortable target.

Will Nemesis fit on a 5 × 3 foot table?

Not cleanly for the declared setup. You would need to reduce the layout, move components off-table, or use a larger surface.

Will Nemesis fit on a 6 × 3.5 foot table?

It should fit, although the layout may still feel close.

Does the recommendation include expansions?

Only when the setup line names one. Otherwise, assume the base game and the stated player count.

Thinking about buying?

Check the edition before you order.

Different editions, expansions, inserts, and player aids can change the footprint. Verify the exact version, then return to this page for the setup-size guidance.
