About the game

What you do in a play session

Smitten 2 is the kind of micro-game that fits in your pocket but will have you sweating in minutes. As a standalone sequel, it features 9 brand-new cards illustrated by the legendary The Mico, all focused on building two 3x3 grids that pay homage to the Stonemaier Games catalog. The premise is simple, but the execution is a test of fine-tuned cooperation: you and your partner (or yourself, in solo mode) must complete these grids without openly discussing your hands. There is no rigid turn order here. Instead, the flow is dictated by whoever feels comfortable playing a card or passing the turn. The kicker is that every card played imposes a mandatory instruction for the other player. If you can't fulfill the requirement, the game ends instantly—no second chances! It is an experience of deduction and hand management where limited communication is your greatest enemy. With multiple difficulty levels and specific modes for solo or two-player play, Smitten 2 is a fast, elegant, and incredibly tense challenge. If you enjoy puzzles that require near-telepathic coordination and want something portable, this little wallet game is a gem. It is a visually stunning tribute to Stonemaier titles, turning the act of assembling a puzzle into a race against failure. Get ready to lock eyes with your partner, because one wrong move can ruin everything in seconds. It is fast, punishing, and addictive—perfect for those who love a tight cooperative tabletop challenge.
