About XXXenophile
The xXxenophile collectable card game is a game based on introducing different people, places, and things and hope they "pop." Based on the erotic comic of the same name by Phil Foglio, the game retains the humor of the comic, but the images are less explicit. Where the comic is definitely rated "X", the card game's pictures would receive a soft "R" rating. The basic mechanic of the game is laying out the cards in a certain pattern face down, flipping one of the cards, and then attempting to match the edges of the cards with edges of the same color. Each card has a different point total, and the first player to 100 points wins. Each player brings his or her own deck to play, and the decks get hopelessly intermingled during play. Half the fun of the xXxenophile game is gaining cards that you did not originally have. The cards are not painted in an insulting way, are no more demeaning to women than they are to men, and there is material for people of all sexual preferences within the artwork. The game is still not appropriate for children by the standards of its country of origin (the United States). Cheapass Games’s James Ernest, the game designer who designed Kill Doctor Lucky and Button Men, created the design for play of the game.
