Description

The Way to Juliet is a co-op game where two players take on the roles of former guard captain and Juliet's governess. Their goal is to get Romeo to Juliet without being ambushed or caught by the guards. One of the players will know which guards need to be bypassed, and the other will know precisely where Juliet is. However, players cannot share this information or tell each other where to go.

Will you be able to help the lovers to meet?

The players' turns are simple: you move Romeo or the guard card horizontally or vertically on free space. If Romeo appears near the correct balcony, you win! If Romeo appears near the wrong balcony or is not allowed to guard, you lose!

Quotes (from this video)
  • This is just my opinion, right? Yours may very well differ, so let me know in the comments what you think about the games that I will be talking about today.
  • It's possible that I will rank a game differently next month.
  • So usually my rankings seem to be a little bit more on the more positive side.
  • It's not really a game. It's more like an activity, so I would give it a good C.
  • This is an amazing small box cooperative game where you like play cooperative poker.
  • I urge you if you play this, you should play real time.
  • Um it works turn-based, but it's much better real time and it's even better when you speak with a few people with people somehow.
  • It's like really great in person, right?
  • Wingspan is a number one game.
  • It's a good social deduction game that is a kind of um that is like paired with Who Am I?
  • Similar to a fake artist goes to New York, just with words instead of drawing.
  • It's a very solid game.
