Van Ryder Games

Crisis! Today you got the call. It only happens on rare occasions, but it is what you have spent your life preparing and training for… Hostages have been taken. You head to the command center near the scene. The Crisis Commander briefs you on the situation, then you pick up the phone and the mental jousting begins…

Hostage Negotiator is a solitaire card and dice game where you play the role of a Hostage Negotiator. You have the responsibility and the burden of negotiating with a hostile Abductor who has taken hostages. Use your wits to adapt to whatever the situation throws your way to save the hostages and win the game!

In Hostage Negotiator, you use Conversation Cards to carry out several conversations with the Abductor. You’ll resolve cards by rolling dice and your success or failure largely depends on your ability to control the Abductor’s Threat Level. In the meantime, you’ll need to acquire more Conversation points so that you can buy some cards. Above all, you must save the hostages! After each conversation you’ll resolve a Terror Card making your objective even more difficult.
