TOP 1: MAY I TOUCH YOUR HAND?

'MOST ROMANTIC GAME AWARD'

This game reminded me of William Shakespeare’s star crossed lovers: Romeo & Juliet.

Being part of the smaller barrier that was the inner circle, I felt like I was role playing as one of the Capulets. By all means, we had to stop Juliet (in the game’s case, Abi) from being together with her ‘lover’ Romeo. The outer barrier that was the bigger circle, on the other hand, served as the Montagues, preventing Romeo (in the game’s case, Mark) from reaching Juliet.

While we were playing the game, I felt excitement abundant in the air. My classmates were all touched by the game’s romantic concept. In fact, some were even suggesting that we (the barrier) just let them get together. Anyone can guess that it’s all for the sake of a happy ending!

Nevertheless, we had to be the antagonists and play our part. Fortunately, Mark and Abi succeeded in touching hands, proving that they were stronger than us. Symbolically, it meant to imply that their love was stronger than the circumstance.

The variation, having two Romeos fight over one Juliet, felt even more exciting. If I were to come up with another variation, I’d like there to be two or more Juliets and one Romeo. And instead of Juliet being in the inner circle, it could be that Romeo will be the one inside. I think it’ll be more hilarious because it would imply that the girls are fighting over that one guy! How fortunate of him, whoever he is Lol XD Or, if possible, there could be two Juliets and two Romeos.

Needless to say, my MVP for the game is Mark, the Romeo of our class because he succeeded to held hands with Abi, the Juliet of our class.

PS: I also think that this game showed that two can play that game. It’s not only Mark who fought to hold hands with Abi. Abi fought too. So it takes two to win the game.
