While each Abductor pack comes with its own Rules card, the cards only contain a brief overview due to space constraints. This rulebook contains the detailed rules for each Abductor pack.
Abductor packs introduce new cards and new rules. Some cards are Abductor specific and should only be used with the abductor pictured on the card. Other cards that are not Abductor or scenario specific may be used when playing against any abductor.
TIP: Experience More of the New Cards in an Expansion
Include a higher number of them in the Terror Deck. Shuffle the base game Terror cards first, then remove half and return them to the game box. Shuffle the expansion's Terror cards with the cards you have remaining and take 10 at random following normal setup rules. This will provide you with more opportunities to experience the new cards.
NOTE: Minor Demands & Difficulty
If too many Minor Demand cards show up in the Terror Deck it will reduce the difficulty of the game. Remove some Minor Demand cards before setting up the Terror Deck if this concerns you.
Abductor Pack #9: Misha Koskinen
This Abductor Pack adds the new Petty Demand cards along with abductor-specific Demand cards, new Escape Demands, and the PARANOIA card. Cards in this pack have a bullhorn icon in a lower corner used to distinguish them from the other cards.
You will face off against Misha Koskinen, a prominent social media personality who is perhaps not a direct threat herself, but her legion of angry adoring fans and their counter protestors certainly are.
Petty Demands
Misha has a number of Petty demands. A new type of demand new to this particular Abductor Pack and only usable with Misha. These demands are drawn from the Terror deck in the same manner as Minor Demands. Where they differ is that they are typically resolved immediately and, when they are conceded, they are placed underneath Misha.
Misha's protesters will never forget that you're favoring Misha by conceding these Petty Demands. Their displeasure can force the game to an early conclusion if too many of these conceded Petty Demands build up.
Paranoia Card
The dual sided Paranoia card represents the volatile personality of the abductor. On one side is Bored. This side can be perilous but tends to be less dangerous than the opposite side, Scared. Anytime you are instructed to roll for Paranoia, check the results on the current Paranoia table and resolve the effect.
Paranoia Table
[Not transcribed: the Paranoia table entries are printed only on the two Paranoia card images on printed page 18 of the combined booklet, and the embedded card art in the PDF is too low-resolution to read the entries reliably. The table must be taken from the physical or digital Paranoia cards in the Abductor Pack #9 box. This is a known gap in this transcription, not a rule of the game.]
