Product Description
Product Description
All of the eligible young men (and many of the not-so-young) seek to woo the princess of Tempest. Unfortunately, she has locked herself in the Palace, and you must rely on others to bring your romantic letters to her. Will yours reach her first? love letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2 to 4 players. Your goal is to get your love letter into princess Annette's hands while deflecting the letters from competing suitors. From a deck with only sixteen cards, each player starts with only one card in hand; one card is removed from play. On a turn, you draw one card, and play one card, trying to expose others and knock them from the game. Powerful cards lead to early gains, but make you a target. Rely on weaker cards for too long, however, and your letter may be tossed in the fire.

In Love Letters the players compete for the heart of the Princess by trying to pass her a love letter, while keeping other players’ letters away. The setup is easy, players shuffle the 16 cards and form a drawing deck. The first card is removed from the game (with 2 players 3 extra cards are remove), and each player get one card from the drawing deck.
On her turn, a player takes the top card from the deck and play one of the two cards in her hand by playing it face up on the discard pile. Then the card effect is applied and either a player is knocked out of the round, or the turn passes to the player on your left. At the end of the round if only one player is left he or she gets a token of affection, if more than one player is left, the player with the highest value card gets the token. A player wins the game after winning a number of tokens based on the number of players.
The cards:
The Guard (1) – guess a non-Guard card and choose a player. If that player has that card, he or she is out of the round. There are 5 Guard cards.
Priest (2) - Look at another player's hand. There are 2 Priest cards.
Barron (3) - compare hands with another player. The player with the lower value card is out of the round. There are 2 Barron cards.
Handmaid (4) - ignore all effects from other player cars until your next turn. There are 2 Handmaid cards.
Prince (5) - choose any player including yourself to discard his or her hand and draw a new card. There are 2 Prince cards.
King (6) – Trade hands with another player.
Countess (7) – if you have this card and the kind or prince in your hand. You must discard this card.
Princess (8) – if you discard this card you are out of the round.
Thus, a player has to find a good balance between powerful cards with high gain, but can make him or her a target, but may give him or her a gain, and weaker cards that may cost him or her the token of affection.
Overall, love letter is a great game, with a high replay value. It is not expensive (usually goes for around $8 on amazon, with a retail price of $12), and is lightweight, which means you can take it on the road.

Very easy to learn. My family played the first game open handed. We do that for every new game. There are also cards that help you remember what card does what.
The story behind the game is not needed, but it is fun to read if you have a brother who likes to read with odd voices and random sound effects. It was so funny.
The only thing is Boobs McGee. Well, that’s just the name we picked out for the countess. I’ll let you guess why.
None of the cards are too risqué but the newer version has more modest attire. We just weren’t expecting Boobs McGee, but the game wouldn’t be as fun without her, mostly because of the name.
Highly recommend this game for anyone who is looking for a short and simple game that has has unlimited scenarios.
Hint: Always ask about the baron. It might be my family or the cards might be cursed. But it never fails that the same player will keep getting delt that stupid baron. (Which makes the game even more funny.)
The game is incredibly simple to learn and play, there are only 16 cards and each say exactly what you do with them. Players try and eliminate each other throughout a round, and either the last person still in the round or the person with the highest card at the end of the round wins. The overall winner is the player to win a predetermined amount of rounds first (based on the number of players). There is a good amount of luck to the game, but if you pay careful attention to the cards played there is actually some pretty surprisingly in depth strategy, too!
The game moves very quickly - each round takes less than 5 minutes - and that's only when you take a long time to think about your moves. If you get a group of players that know the game and can stay focused, you can probably play each round in 1-2 minutes.
One great thing about the game is that it is literally pocket-sized and can be easily carried with you wherever you go. It's a great one to take to coffee shops, bars, or travelling.
If you are like me, and are hesitant about the game because of the "theme", do yourself a favor and just buy it, it's a ton of fun!

Now most importantly onto the game, it's a speedy game with a fun theme and it's one you could say "okay, let's have another go" straight after playing! Lots of fun and I know we'll play this many times over in the future!
