“Women are wasteful” is what they say when a woman buys a
new necklace. When a man buys a new factory however, they say
he is simply satisfying an urge. Do not confuse the two!”
Anne de Bajolais.
“Women have many faults: they are wasteful, moody, frivolous.
But another still is worse than all the others: they are beautiful!”
Sir Michaël DeMigthon.
Principle of the game and introduction
Players play the game in teams, forming couples in which one person plays the
part of a Lady and the other plays a Gentleman, her husband.
The winning team is the one in which the Lady is the most elegant at the end
of the game. In order for this to happen, each Gentleman makes money in the
Stock Exchange by making sales and fulfi lling contracts while each Lady gathers
the most beautiful wardrobe by obtaining the most fashionable items from the
different boutiques in the game.
Ladies&Gentlemen is above all a game of ambience. The more players try
to emulate their in-game characters, the better the gaming experience. So,
according to the role, you may become a fl irty Lady with a passion for fashion or a
rich, arrogant, pretentious Gentleman – and together make an explosive couple!
If there is an odd number of players, read the Courtesan
rule in the ‘variants’ section of this book.
