Game: Evil Baby Orphanage

[personal profile] readera  recommended Evil Baby Orphanage during the fishbowl.  Basically, you track down evil historic figures and capture them as toddlers, removing them from the timestream so they don't commit atrocities.  But they're still a lot of trouble if unsupervised.

What I like most about this game is that it neatly solves the ethical dilemma of how to prevent evil people from doing evil things, without doing something else evil -- murdering babies -- yourself.  I think it says something very disturbing about society that it took this long for someone to come up with THIS idea instead of murdering babies.  0_o

I'm really tempted by this one, because it looks like an amusing addition to the collection, but it's for 3-6 players (best played with 5) which means we wouldn't have a chance to play it very often.  :/
