Van Ryder Games Hostage Negotiator: Career – A Game Expansion 30+ Minutes of Gameplay for 1 Player – for Teens and Adults Ages 15+ - English Version, (VANVRG333)
- In Hostage Negotiator, you play the part of a law enforcement agent responsible for negotiating the release of hostages taken by an unscrupulous figure (the abductor) hell-bent on having his or her demands met.
- In this culmination of the Hostage Negotiator series, you will play ten years in the life of a negotiator — that is, if you don't retire in shame sooner.
- In each "year" or campaign round of the game, you will resolve a career card that presents you with some narrative event that relates to or could impact your career based on the choice you make. Then, in most but not all years, you will be called to the scene of the latest hostage situation. Now, the result of each negotiation will impact the overall campaign and you'll be tracking your career stress, your personal stress, your merit level (for promotions), and your rank, among other things.
- After the negotiation, you resolve a personal card and are once again faced with a narrative event to resolve and, based on the result of your negotiation in that "year", will be rewarded (or reprimanded) accordingly.
- IMPORTANT! Hostage Negotiator Career is a unique expansion and to play requires that you own the Hostage Negotiator base game and Hostage Negotiator Crime Wave. Plus, at least 7 Abductor Packs, one of which must be Abductor Pack #7.
