Abduction (card game)

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Abduction is a 1998 collectible card game published by Eden Studios in which the players, abducted by aliens, race to escape from an alien ship. It is played by two to four people using tokens to stand for the players and cards that represent rooms, events and objects. On a turn the active player takes three actions from a choice of five: laying a room card beside an existing room to enlarge the ship, playing an event card, moving to an adjacent room, or playing an object card to pick up an item. At the end of the turn the player draws as many cards as were played. After four room cards are down a player may lay an exit card, and the first to reach an exit wins. A six-sided die is needed but not included. Games last fifteen to twenty minutes, and the theme ties loosely to Eden's Conspiracy X role-playing game.
