Yes, we love that game! It's easy to learn, fast to play, and addictively fun. It's also easy to pack, and great to introduce people to board games. Actually, a game of Love Letter has taken up residence in the suitcase of one of BGA admins, travelled to a lot of places and met a lot of people
In Love Letter, you'll play a member of the royal court trying to seduce the most beautiful heart in the realm, the Princess! But you can't really meet her, you know, because of everything. So all you've got is ink, feather, paper, your literary talent and some ingenuity to get her your letters full of flame and passionthrough intermediaries of various ranks at court. But of course, anything can happen and get your letter lost in a duel, discarded by negligence, or blockedby a guard, if you do not benefit from the benevolent help of a handmaid. So you will have to choose carefully who to trust, and hope for the best that your letter may find its way to the closest person to the Princess, so that she reads your letter first - if you haven't been able to intrigue to block all the letters of other lovestruck noblemen!
Love Letter comes from Japan and was quite a novelty at the time of its release, coming to define a new class of minimalistic games. At the start of the game, you get one card, then on your turn, you draw another from the deck, and you chose which one to play. Simple, right? Yes, but... speculation comes into play. Each step of the way, you'll try to guess - by probability and intuition - in the hands of which of 8 possible characters the letters of your opponents are currently held, in order to disturb their plans and protect yours. And sometimes you'll be awesomely right... or mightily wrong Then in any case, as the rounds are really quick, you'll be eager for the next one!

We hope that you'll love that game as much as we do! Now if you'll excuse me, I have a letter to write...
