Product Description
In the wake of the queen's arrest, all the eligible young men of Tempest (and many not so young) seek to woo Princess Aneette. Unfortunately, she has locked herself in the palace, and everyone must rely on those within the palace to bring their romantic letters to her. Will yours reached her first? Love Letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck, for 2-4 players. Get your love letter into Princess Annette's hands while keeping other players' letters away. Powerful cards lead to early gains, but make you a target. Rely on weaker cards for too long and your letter may be tossed in the fire! Japanese game designer Seiji Kanai features only 16 cards but hours of fun!

It is fairly easy to understand the rules and it took us about 3 minutes to read the rules. There is also a small 'refresher card' to remind you of each person, how many people of each kind there are and what each kind does. (For example, 1 princess, 4 guards etc)
Each of the cards have directions on them and they are very clear. For example: If you discard this card, then you are out of this round. If you draw a knight card when you have this card in your hand, you must discard this card.
Essentially you have a hand of one card and you want to keep the card that will get you closest to the princess. Through the process of drawing new cards, discarding cards, peaking, trading etc. you will always keep one card in your hand that you believe will get you closest to her. If at the end of the round you are the closest person to the princess then you get a love token (A little wood square). The game is over when you have the correct number of love tokens.
I would say that although you can play this with 2 people, it is not as fun as if you play with more people. In fact, I would say the minimum number of people you need to make this game fun is 3 and I would never suggest you play it with 2. Other than that, everything works exactly as anticipated.
The rules are simple: You start with one card. Each turn, you draw one card and discard one card. Each card/character has different effects, which take place upon discarding a card. Once the draw pile is exhausted, whoever has the highest-numbered card (1 through 8) wins that round and earns a "token of affection" from the princess. The amount of people playing determines that amount of tokens of affection you need to win the game. That's it. It sounds simple, but there is a great amount of strategy and some deduction that occurs to make this game interesting on every round.
One of the funniest situations that happens is this: If a "4" is played (a Handmaid), this prevents any card effects being played against you. The number "5" card (the Prince) requires that either another player discard his/her hand and then draw another card. If the Handmaid is protecting all other players, the Prince must be played on the person that played the Prince, which requires that the person that played the Prince must discard the card in his/her hand. However, the laughter comes into play when the other card is the Princess herself (the number 8 card) since the card says that if she is discarded, then that player is out of that round! That has only happened once with us so far, but boy was that funny! Haha!
Rounds take about 5 minutes, but you'll play multiple rounds until the number of tokens of affection have been acquired by a player. This is a great game for families.
I have never played this game with someone and have them not like it, it's simple yet complex enough to be very entertaining. It is easy to pick up, very well thought out.
The only thing I wish is that it could be played with more players, 3-4 is best 5 is a stretch.
My friends and I play this often, it is very dynamic comments and gestures can easily give you away and we have even nicknamed certain plays. Baroning someone when you carry a priest (Playing a baron you compare hands and high card wins, the priest is a 2 so only a guard is lower than him and its a very illogical play and hard to pull) is called a Judas Priest, There's also the Red Baron and so on.
Get sleeves, the cards are fragile and any markings will kill the game, once you can identify the card from the back the game is kind of dead.
