Alrightgames: Love Letter

Love Letter

2012 / Deduction card game / 2-4 players / Japan

***

Another arbitrary favourite of Alibaba and the forging intellectual property thieves (probably because there's not a whole lot to print), this took some rumination even at £3.41, but its girly fairytale kitsch won out over the tiresomely dystopian Coup. I've got a daughter, I might as well embrace princesses.

It kills a few minutes if you can't be arsed to set up Cluedo. Two players will rarely get all the way through their ten-card deck. Even if you don't like it, the handy bonus pouch is cheaper than buying a dice bag off eBay.
