Being the third Kickstarter project launched by Van Ryder Games, Hostage Negotiator is a 15 to 30 minutes card and dice game for 1 player. In the game, the player takes the role of a Hostage Negotiator who has been summoned to a crime scene where hostages are taken by a hostile Abductor. To achieve victory, at least half of the hostages must be saved, while the Abductor has to be captured or eliminated. Each turn is divided into 3 phases: the Conversation Phase, in which conversation cards are played and resolved through dice rolls; the Spend Phase, in which conversation cards can be bought; and the Terror Phase, in which a terror card has to be drawn and resolved, and by doing so, the negotiation process would be affected.
