Get ready for a thrilling and silent journey in "... and then, we held hands.", a cooperative game that tests your connection. The mission is clear: you both need to reach the center of the board, completing emotional objectives along the way. The catch? No talking allowed! You'll have to rely on emotion cards, discarding them to move from one point to another, trying to guess what your partner is thinking and feeling. Each move affects your balance, and if one of you runs out of options, it's game over! The game features a brilliant "layering" mechanic where changing your perspective reveals new cards and moves. The beautiful art by Marie Cardouat (the same artist from Dixit!) adds a special touch. Winning is super rewarding: arriving together at the center, balanced, and almost on the same turn. It's a challenge that requires empathy and connection, perfect for couples who enjoy games that go beyond pure strategy and delve into emotions. It's a quick game, but it leaves a lasting impression. If you like two-player games with a more intimate and challenging feel, this might be your next favorite. The art is a showstopper, and the communication-less cooperative experience is truly unique!
