The most common resolution to holding a prisoner is for the gangs involved to meet and, while trying not to shoot each other, hand off a ransom for the captive. This is not a favorite solution of the captive’s gang, who must fork over the ransom. Nor is it a favorite of the captive, as he is likely to be killed if something goes wrong.
The Hand-Off is played when gangs have decided to trade a captive for a ransom. The gangs must meet, work out a deal and trade their prizes, all while keeping their cool.
