Description
Abduction 6 - - - R
Target agent is placed 10 cards down, face up, in the owning player's
Bureau deck. Any equipment the agent had is discarded. When the
agent's card reaches the top of the deck, the agent is immediately
moved to the Hospital. This card does not initiate combat.
Fox Mulder and
Dana Scully: The combo so
nice they built a show around
it, Mulder and Scully can be
the backbone of a formidable
agent team. They've got skill
scores that will beat the
requirements of most sites,
and Fox's ability to play sites
for free lets you save resource
points for events. Dana's no
slouch either, scouting out
sites to see if those bluff
cards are dangerous.
