Description

The Way to Juliet is a cooperative game for two players that's all about helping the star-crossed lovers reunite. You and your partner take on the roles of Romeo's allies, working together to sneak him past the guards and into Juliet's waiting arms. The twist is that you can't just share information with each other - one player knows which guards to avoid, while the other knows Juliet's location, and you'll have to find a way to communicate without actually communicating. As you navigate the grid, you'll move Romeo or the guard card horizontally or vertically, trying to get him to the right balcony without getting caught. The game is simple to learn, with rules that can be explained quickly, but it's not necessarily easy to win. You'll need to use deduction and pattern recognition to figure out where you're going and how to get there, all while working within the limits of what you can and can't say to each other. With a playtime of just 10 to 20 minutes, The Way to Juliet is a quick and thrilling challenge that's perfect for a fun and lighthearted game night.
