» ‘Council of Verona’ game review

Ro and Juliet is one of
the greatest tragedies ever
written, but how would it go if
you controlled the story?

Council of Verona is a card
game for two to five players
designed by Michael Eskue and
published by Crash Games in
2013. Players choose to place
characters on the Council or
exile them out of Verona, and
also pay to influence characters
in the pursuit of their goals.
Once all of the characters have
been played, the player who
has the most influence on
characters that succeed in their
agenda wins.

You get to play with the
entire cast of Shakespeare’s
play, Romeo and Juliet. The
Capulets and the Montagues
rattle their sabres at each other,
while neutral parties influence
the star-crossed lovers or put

: plagues on both their houses.

This is, by far, one of the

: fastest games I’ve played. A

: game takes 10 to 15 minutes

: to play, while a full game, in

: which each player starts first

: at least once, will take less

: than an hour. The rules are

: simple, yet the gameplay is very
: engaging. Backstabbing reaches
: Shakespearian levels, so it’s not
: for “nice” players.

The card selection

: mechanics give you a lot of

: control over what sort of

: strategy you can implement,

: however, players can mess you
: up with their own strategy.

: This, as well as a random first
: card, makes the game well-

: balanced in the strategy/

: psychology/chance dynamic.

I would recommend this

: game for the novice and the

: hardcore gamer. It’s a great filler
: game for in between games,

: or for split groups if one game

: is going longer than the other.

: And for under $20, it’s well

: worth the investment.
