About the game
From the publishers website: Welcome to the city of Verona, which inspired William Shakespeare to write "Romeo and Juliet" his most famous story. This inspired Petr Chval to create an exciting board game of intrigue. Experience the Italian Renaissance as Verona has become a very influential center of culture and business; also rampant with corruption and intrigue! The city is so rich and powerful that it has freed itself from the strict authority of the holy Roman Empire. Influential families now rule Verona replacing the weak puppet and figurehead, Prince Escalus! Who will gain supreme power? Experience the trials and tribulations of Verona and see the great battle unfold before your eyes and ears! Game for 2-5 players and lasts about 60 mins. Players compete in hot auctions, plan intrigues and guess those (intrigues) of others by completing secret or public tasks. Winner needs sufficient economic and military power as well as domination of territory. The Czech Board Game Project helps successfully place Czech game developers into the game board market. The board game Verona is the winner of the CBG contest for 2010.

Questions and answers
Verona supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Verona is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Verona for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Verona has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
