Setup Changes

  • Shuffle the Location cards and place the deck facedown on the table.
  • Reveal the top Location card, leaving it on the deck. This is the active location.
  • Place the Bus card near the Location deck with the BUS IS MOVING side faceup.
  • Before setting up the Terror Deck, remove both HE'S ON THE MOVE Terror cards. Set up the Terror Deck as normal and then shuffle both HE'S ON THE MOVE cards in with the rest of the Red Terror cards. The Terror Deck should now have 12 Red Terror cards with 1 Gold Pivotal Event card at the bottom.

Tactics Cards

Tactics cards are very similar to Conversation cards and function in the same way. Use them during the Conversation Phase to call for Field Tactics to set up a ROAD BLOCK or a DETOUR in an attempt to stop the bus or alter its path.

Location Cards & the Bus

In this scenario follow the abductor as he hurtles by bus through multiple locations. Sometimes no Location card will be in play. In this case, you are assumed to be in a general location and no special rules apply. In addition, when all four Location cards have been revealed, no new locations will come into play.

The Bus card indicates if the bus is currently "Moving" or is "Stopped."

  • BUS IS MOVING: place the Bus Card beside the Location deck so you can see the Location card in play (if any) and follow the rules on the Location card.
  • BUS IS STOPPED: place the Bus card on TOP of the current Location card on top of the Location deck. Any previous Location card effects are ignored.

Card Clarifications

Location: Cliffs

If the Threat reaches the "K", the game is over and ends in defeat. It does not matter when "K" is reached, or how. Game over.

Field Tactics: Detour

To purchase this card, discard 3 Conversation cards. Conversation points are not needed. This card may be purchased even if Conversation points are negative.
