The game blends strategy and fun in five action-packed rounds. You'll invest in new pizzerias, make quick deliveries, take out loans from the bank, and expand your district. Every decision is crucial, as you need to carefully plan your actions to gain an edge over your rivals. In the bidding phase, you use your Lira to determine how many deliveries you can make and how many pizzas you can deliver. As you satisfy customers, your abilities grow, making your actions even more powerful. Papà Paolo is an accessible game that appeals to players of all ages, with engaging mechanics and a delicious theme.
