You could make a Castell dexterity game.
Sanity tokens, since the more of them you have the more crazy you go
Bother the lemmings, I want that eagle. Among the babies. Not plastic ones, they would be bad for an endangered bird.
They can’t be substituted for the lovely wooden lemmings in Lemminge, though. That would just be wrong.
A general handicap system. How many babies can you (insert challenge here) while playing the game? Could be as simple as “hold in one hand without dropping”, could be a lot more complex or less reliant on hand size.
Appropriate penalties for dropping babies, of course.
That feels more like a personal fuse than a handicap.
90 minutes into some heavy economic game, Barry, well in the lead, finally snaps. The great, clammy handful of babies is just too much to bear and so, gaunt and distant, he quietly concedes and walks straight into the shower.
Well, I’m now having nightmares about this thread so good job, everyone.
You’re the one who needed a plastic baby in the first place. Totally not nightmare inducing…
You could start a Kickstarter campaign for Cupidthulhu Wars.
Poker chips and pretend you’re a demon while playing.
Shouldn’t they be “insanity tokens” in that case?
Not necessarily a board game use, but at your next game day, get your game set up then go to the kitchen to bring in the snacks. Set a couple of bowls of the babies down with some sodas/beers for everybody. Say nothing and try not to laugh at the confused looks.
A suggested just popped up in my Twitter timeline:
This may be my favourite suggestion.
