About the game
Inc0gn1t0 is a threat unlike any you've faced. Their identity and location are unknown, as are their demands. What is known is that they've hacked into networks across the city and we've found traces of a bomb that has some sort of remote access code. Can you stop them in time? In this new expansion pack for Hostage Negotiator, you must deal with Inc0gn1t0's reign of terror across the city while trying to decrypt the code for the bomb. The more hostages you save the more time you buy for the decryption, but is it enough? —description from the publisher This Abductor pack is a 15 card expansion compatible with both Hostage Negotiator and Hostage Negotiator: Crime Wave. NOTE: It's a completely redesigned Hostage Negotiator: Abductor Pack 10 and it's entirely different mechanically speaking.
