Urban Manhunt is a non-collectible (but still expandable) card game set in a bleak, dystopian future in which a televised death sport rules the ratings. This death sport is, as you might have guessed, Urban Manhunt. Following a terrorist attack on Chicago in 2021, the government has been using the city as a prison for the absolute lowest dregs of humanity, reserving prisons for the more mundane manner of criminals. It wasn't long before the entertainment world devised a way to take advantage of the situation. The idea was a simple one: highly-trained mercenaries would be dropped into the city and would then compete against each other to see who could "eliminate" the most criminals. The sport exploded onto the scene and has since become a mainstay in pop culture, with the Hunters being treated as national celebrities.

  

In Urban Manhunt, each player takes on the role of a Hunter. The one who eliminates the largest amount of criminals (called crims) before time runs out will stand victorious. This is accomplished by moving to different areas of the desolate concrete jungle and tracking down crims using your wits and cunning. Then, it's only a matter of subduing or killing them. But the city is huge and it's no easy task to locate crims. Danger lurks around every corner and from within every nook and cranny.

 

This is the world of Urban Manhunt. The future is not bright.
