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.

This game is amazingly fun for such a simple game. My kids and I play it incessantly and I doubt it'll ever stop. I play the game with buddies over game days, family when visiting, and in our house. It is such a versatile game. I find that when the kids and I are looking for a quick 5-10 minute filler before going to school we pick up Love Letter and play a round or two. Which in my opinion is so much healthier than watching television in those times.
The game plays quickly enough to grab a game here & there but is intricate enough to provide many hours of fun.
It's easy to explain to new players and if they don't get it after the explanation, one round through is sufficient to grab the majority of the game.
I liked the game so much that I created a copy for myself to play with a buddy at work...it was actually a running gag. We had created a paper chess board & paper chess pieces and would play chess at work. Then we built another board and would email moves to each other over the day. However, we ended up enjoying the game so much that I bought another copy to keep at work.
The fact that the game is so small made it another easy candidate for backpacking trips. During winter hikes I'm able to keep it in my chest pocket, when not hiking with a jacket I end up keeping it in my pack. Even with the cards being paper cards, i've yet to bend any of them by keeping them either in my pack lid or else in other areas that prevent bending.
Overall, I love the game, it's a lot of fun and continues to be a hit in our house.
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.

PROS:
1. Fast game play
2. Easy to learn (all the information is on each card so no need to have a rule book to play)
3. You only hold one card at a time (no massive hand of 13 cards to manage)
4. Cards are very decorative
5. Incredibly addictive (a friend learned the game and insisted on playing 50 hands). It has that amazing just one more time quality to it. I had to buy a second game because my daughter took mine off to college to play.
6. A rare combination of luck and skill. You can't always win with good card playing, but you will never win a series without skill. You have to know how others are thinking and playing to truly be good at this game. But it is simple enough to just play without any thought if you just want to kill some time with friends.
7. Who doesn't love an inexpensive game!
CONS:
1. You play so many hands with these cards that they get quickly worn. I hate to say it but you really need to laminate the cards or put them in come kind of sleeves, because you play the cards so many times in 5 minutes they do wear-out quickly (not the best thickness to these cards) and if you can identify a card by its worn pattern the game is meaningless (there are only 16 cards - a marked card will be easy to track).
2. The scoring blocks are very tiny and we are constantly looking for these little red cubes. This system is lame, but completely unnecessary. You can keep score on paper or use any other chips to keep score. I recommend buying some heart charms instead at a craft store. It is much better (larger) and the game is called, "Love Letter" after all. But if it keeps the cost down, I guess it is O.K. just realize at some point you are going to need replacement scoring counters.
3. Only a 3-4 player game. There is a two player version that works, but as the fun is in guess someone's next move it starts to get predictable with just two players. The 16 card total makes more than four players not possible.

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!
