Squillo (2012)

About this game

From the publisher: Squillo is a new card game with spirit and extreme fun! Each player has a role (the pimp) managing each and every point his girls, divided between escort, street hookers and young hopefuls, each with her own peculiarities, parcel and final proceeds in the event of a knockout, and... subsequent sale of organs. The game consists of 99 cards, includes events (situations and accidents) and power-ups (health points and improvements). The goal is to defeat the opponent "pimp", maneuvering his call girls with the limits and abilities dictated by the board. There are two levels to play Squillo. The standard level for players getting started, and the advanced level designed for more experienced players who want to add a strategic element to the fun.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 18 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
