Overview

In Love Letter, players compete to deliver their love letter to the Princess. Each player starts with a single card representing a character in the royal court. On your turn, you draw a card and then choose one of the two cards in your hand to play, resolving its effect.

Card effects allow you to deduce which cards your opponents are holding, protect yourself from other players' actions, or even force another player to discard their hand. The last player standing, or the player with the highest-ranking card when the deck runs out, wins the round. Accumulate enough wins to gain the Princess's favor and win the game.
