The way to Juliet

About this game

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! —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
