Abduction

Abduction is a compact card game that puts you in the shoes of captives aboard an alien ship. The goal? Escape before the others become obstacles in your path. Each game starts with a blank board, but don’t worry— it transforms into an intergalactic maze as players play cards that dictate the layout. Each card has colors and numbers that must match adjacent ones, turning the game into a true puzzle of exploration. When you feel ready, simply declare "abduction!" and draw cards from the board, trying to match colors with your command card for points. Remember: you can only do this once, so pick the moment wisely. The game is fast (20 minutes per session), great for short playdates, yet offers strategic depth thanks to modular board and variable player powers. Components are simple—cards, tokens, and a few standees to keep things tidy. If you enjoy exploration challenges, quick combat, and the thrill of being on an alien vessel, Abduction is the missing piece for your table.
