Conflicted Card Game: Week 41

Conflicted is a game which consists of multiple decks, each deck containing 52 cards, and on each card is a question. The setting is in an environment where some catastrophic event has occurred. Could be nuclear war, World War III, horrible disease, economic collapse, but regardless of the scenario, no form of government really exists or if it does it is unable to help you. No calling 911, no cell phones, no internet. Its just yourself, maybe friends and family, and possibly a small group of people who can help you. Not necessarily Mad Max/Post Apocalyptic, but cohesive civilization with modern technology at our fingertips is essentially over.

Every week I will post one of the cards (selected at random), and each participant writes a response to what they would do in that situation or how they might handle it. I will let the thread run for one week, and then post a new question. Post as much as you like after giving your response. Debating and analyzing is part of the game! I won't be playing as I am the one running the game.

There are no right or wrong answers as the game is about hearing how people could navigate a stressful or perilous situation.

Deck 1 - Downfall: Queen of Hearts

A human trafficker's caravan arrived at the local trading outpost, offering aummunition, food and water in exchange for prisoners. You have three families as prisoners (the husband's and wives tried to loot your camp but fell into your hands). These prisoners require 30% of your supplies and manpower to look after them. The people in your camp are growing tired of sharing the little food you have. You can't replenish your supplies at this time without placing people at considerable risk. Everyone is looking at you, as leader, to make the right decision. Would you sell the families and their kids or not? Why?
