Can you help two star-crossed lovers escape the clutches of their prejudiced families? Romeo and Juliet is a card game for the whole family based on Shakespeare’s famous play.
3 to 5 players must outmanoeuvre the other players to guide Romeo and Juliet to safety and true love in Verona. Gameplay is easy to learn but challenging to master.
10 cards are placed face-down on the table representing the city of Verona. Hidden among the cards are Romeo and Juliet. players take turns secretly looking at and switching places of cards.
The player who manages to move Romeo and Juliet to their meeting place, and then reveal them wins the round and gets a point. At intervals, a player is forced to turn a card face-up for the rest of the game. Should both Romeo and Julia end up revealed this way, the revealing player has lost the round and everyone else gets a point.
The first player to score 3 points wins the game.
