So... Are handcuffs allowed? And if they are, how do you use them and what do they do?

Random melee range object that disarms the minifig on 'hit'?

Opposed skill check, target can only carry one hand worth of items? Loses the ability to sprint?

Like this:

Costs one action to slap handcuffs around a fig. Cuffed figs are cuffed, and the limitations of such should be pretty obvious.

Soo... Say you do get them on another guy... Then what? I geuss you could hit him without hitting you, but would that be it?

They're only really useful for objective games ie round up all the slaves, capture the VIP, cops vs criminals, that sort of deal.

Or in hostage situations.

Well that definently makes more sence. I can see one team trying to capture and hold hostages and the other team tring to free them and get them to evac.

Captured minifigs can't use their arms. I don't really see why you wouldn't just kill them though, it's mostly an objective-based gameplay thing.

You could have figs start in handcuffs for like a jailbreak scenario or something.

Also, improvised garrote?

Use the tool stats in that case.

I'd fit minifigs with handcuffs so I could throw them around like a ball and chain.

So short answer, yes they are allowed and you use them in the most ridiculous, hilarious manner possible.

Put them in a catapult... use them as a human shield...

Attach them to the front of your ships as living, screaming figureheads.
Save for later to be used in traps.
Gladiators.
Use them to pull carriages/war machines, because they're cheaper than horses.
