A group of (male) friends on vacation have to face the usual question: how many girls will they be able to hook up with? Who will be the Califfo, the one who manages to seduce the most and most beautiful women?
Everyone takes his best car, prepares to pay for dinners and bouquets of flowers, makes the most of his qualities of beauty, poetry, sympathy, and even imagines a few lies. And, given that it is a challenge, even putting a spanner in the works of others is legitimate…
Il Califfo is a game in which the protagonists compete for all the free girls who are around for each evening of their holiday, making the most of the qualities of their characters and the resources represented by the cards in their hands. Approaching the most beautiful can be a temptation, but be careful: a girl is not always as charming as she seems at first sight, and sometimes she can hide real surprises, positive or negative!
DISCLAIMER
Il Califfo is a diseducative and politically incorrect game, but any criticism in this sense is rejected as idle by the authors. Most games aim to variously kill and/or massacre your opponent, when it's not about crushing the world under the heel of your own armies. Acting as a Don Juan and collecting women like trophies is not very edifying, but trying to make love with consenting girls is still considered by the authors to be less unseemly than breaking people's heads.
