Questions tagged [love-letter]

A quick and easy game where you try to win the love of the princess.

You want your love letters to be delivered to the princess to make her love you. Each round, one player gets to deliver his/her love letter to the princess.

At the beginning of the round, every player gets one card. One by one, the players take their turns of taking a second card and playing one of the two cards in their hand. The player that has the card with the highest number at the end of the round, wins the round. But beware, each card has a certain action that is performed when played, so you could be rejected before the round ends.

Love letter allows 2-4 players and takes around 20 minutes.
