Dolls

Dolls is a hostage negotiation game using little pipe-cleaner people called dolls. At the beginning of the game each player has the five dolls distributed to his opponents. Each player also receives a number of strategy cards that let him launch rescue attempts, foils other's attempts at rescues, move dolls from one player to another, etc. Players must negotiate for the release of their dolls. If talks break down, a player can execute dolls that he has possession of. Coming up with innovative methods of execution is also part of the game (Chopping up a pipe cleaner man and sending him back one piece at a time, lighting a doll on fire, running over a doll with your care are only a few possibilities).
