How about plastic rings, like ones you'd find in a Ring Toss game? Or something like a horseshoe?

You know what'd be great? If the objects were things that get progressively hotter as the minutes go by.

A party store would have Mardi Gras beads, maybe with some sort of charm or talisman on them. Then they're visible and the players don't have to carry them. You might refer to them as "mulligans," as in golf. That sounds Irish to me, so maybe you can find beads in the clearance bin from St. Patrick's Day.

The only semi-helpful thing I can think of is when you go to AC Moore or Michael's or a craft store like that, they have entire aisles of hard foam in different shapes and sizes. If they had rectangular shapes that were 5x7-ish, thinking of the size of the Wink High Rollers insurance markers, you could line them up on some newspaper and spray paint them gold or something. I don't know how expensive that would be but they would have a substantial feel.

You could give everyone a couple marbles and when you've lost your marbles, you're out of the game.

It's a shame that can't be applied around here  ;)

If you can find them, Dollar Tree has large plastic penny party favors you could use- about three or so inches across- call it a Lucky Penny. They were 4-6 in a package IIRC, some copper-colored and some silver-colored for some reason.

So how did the game go, Matt? What did you use as the Lifeline Talisman?

I've decided to go with plastic Easter eggs.  They're not as clever as nearly every other choice you guys came up with, but I could get the quantity I needed for a TOTAL of three dollars at the craft store, and they were of suitable size.  Right now, I'm planning to call it the "Egg of Forgiveness".  The game is this coming Saturday.

Will everyone get an egg as a souvenir, or just those who survived the game with one?

Wonder if Eggland's Best would kick in a few bucks for promotional consideration?

Now that the prop has been established, may we see a photograph of your hostess?
