...and then, we held hands.

A couple in strife plays cards cooperatively to restore emotional balance. Players pursue shared objectives by discarding emotion cards to move across a board, without verbal communication. They can use cards from either hand, but must avoid leaving their partner unable to move. Card-splaying changes each player’s perspective and reveals new options. The game is won when both players meet at the center in balance, within one turn of each other.

    Cooperative 2 Players Card Game. This game is really special, not only for the game itself, also for the wisdom on the background. While you are playing you can connect better with your emotions and the other ones and try to restore balance for victory. It's amazing.

    This is an ok puzzle game for 2 players. I was expecting a lot more from the theme than it gave. The card art looked nice in pictures, but the linen quality of the cards muddied the colors. Nobody I played this with really understood the purpose of the emotions printed on the player cards. The game emphasizes that you aren't supposed to talk about the game while playing, but you don't really need to, as you can plainly see from the other player's cards and position what they need to do on their next turn. It's fine I guess, but not a keeper for me. I was hoping for something really innovative. ☆ Art, Iconography and components functional ☆ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ☆ Multiple plays stay interesting ☆ Low or mitigatable luck elements ☆☆☆☆☆ Raw enjoyment

    A cooperative abstract strategy game is such a brilliant idea, and this one does a great job at it. I really love it.
