Love Letter

Description

--- "Love Letter" is a quick game of risk, deduction, and luck where players compete to deliver a love letter to Princess Annette while eliminating rivals. Key mechanics include: - *Card draw and play* Players draw one card and play one per turn from a 16-card deck. - *Elimination tactics* Expose opponents' cards to knock them out of the game. - *Risk-reward balance* Powerful cards provide advantages but attract targeting; weaker cards offer safety but risk failure. - *Limited setup* Each starts with one card in hand; one card removed from play. - *Competitive suitors* 2–4 players vie to get their letter to the princess first. Love Letter, number 4 in the Setting: Tempest Shared World Game Series, is a compact card game for 2–4 players centered on suitors wooing the locked-away Princess Annette of Tempest by delivering romantic letters through intermediaries. The objective is to be the first whose love letter reaches her while deflecting and eliminating competing suitors. Using a mere 16-card deck, players begin with one card in hand and one card removed from play. Each turn involves drawing one card and playing one, strategically employing cards to expose and knock out opponents. The game hinges on balancing powerful cards, which yield early advantages but make players targets, against weaker ones that prolong play at the peril of discard. It blends risk, deduction, and luck in a tense race to royal favor. ---
