Love Letter Review

The game of love letter is a game that takes place during medieval times. The story of the game is that multiple princes are fighting for the princesses affection. The way to gain her love is with their letters because they can not speak to her directly. The princes’ goal is to get the letters to the princess by any means necessary. This game is played with 16 cards, 2-4 people can play at a time, and the first person to 4 points wins the affection of the princess. Each of the 16 cards have a designated ability or hindrance. The players must use the card inther hand to either eliminate or hinder a player. The last person left during a round of play gets a point, represented by a token. During the first act of play the players are learning how to play the game by playing the first round. After the first round the players catch on to how the game works. There is not too much of a learning curve when it comes to starting this game. Once you play the first round it becomes easy to catch on. Once you get a basic feel on how the game works and how the cards work then people then start to form a strategy, which moves us on to act 2. In act 2 the players start using their cards and its abilities to their advantage. Within this act players also start trying to read the expressions and gestures of the other players. Now that the players are strategizing the round takes longer to end. Act 2 is the longest of all the acts. Act 3 does not appear until multiple people are on the verge of winning. At this point it is anyone’s game and the push to victory heightens the battle. The satisfaction that comes along with winning is well deserved because of act 2 and the battles within.
