Week 6: Love Letter

Many people may hunger for a boyfriend or a girlfriend after Singles’ Day, and the game of this week, Love Letter, is exactly about love, as its name.

This game is very plain and easy to play and you can enjoy the fun even in your first play.

All objects this game includes are only 16 cards and some tiny red cubes.

There are two main editions of the game.

One is the Tempest Edition, and the other is the Kanai Factory Edition, which I chose to introduce.

2 to 4 players play as the young men who adore the princess.

However, the princess is always in the castle which you cannot enter.

All you can do is send love letters and pass it on to the person closest to the princess.

Before the game begins, remove the card on the top from the game and each player draws 1 card from the stack.

In one’s turn, he draws 1 card and chooses 1 of his two cards to do its action.

There are 8 different characters with the number 1 to 8.

The bigger the number, the closer to the princess the character is.

A soldier exposes 1 player’s letter if he guesses his character (cannot be used on another solder).

A clown tricks others and peek 1 player’s card.

A knight delivers a fight to 1 player and makes the player with the smaller number card out of the round.

A priestess protects the player from any other player’s action till his next turn.

A wizard makes himself or 1 player discard his card in hand and draw another card in magic.

The general forces 1 player to exchange his card with him.

The minister hates the wizards, the general, and the princess.

Once any player holds the minister and one of these three characters at the same time, he is out of the round.

The princess is shy, so she directly refuses the player discard her and he is out of the round.

If the stack is run out, the player with the card with the biggest number in hand win the round and get 1 cube as the symbol of his passion.

If there is only 1 player left in the round, then he wins the round at once, too.

The first player holds 4 cubes win the game.

It is a kind of luck and mind game.

Because of the simplicity, there are many people make their own Love Letter games in various themes.
