About the game

What you do in a play session

Verona's a mess with the never-ending feud between Capulets and Montagues. Prince Escalus had the bright idea to form a council to restore order - and you're one of the influential citizens deciding who gets in or gets exiled. The game blends card management, bluffing and deduction in a political showdown full of Shakespearean intrigue. Each round, you use character cards and influence tokens to manipulate the council's composition. Final scoring is based on each character's hidden agendas. And no, rooting for Romeo and Juliet won't help - here strategy (and some card luck) rules. In just 20 minutes, you'll decide Verona's fate in a quick game packed with twists worthy of a Greek... well, Italian tragedy.
