I'm and old head whose played a lot of heavy ass euro games with spirit island as my favorite of all time.
But... there come a time in your life when you want to share your passion and hobbies with other people. When you want to bring people into the fold.
Love letter is one of the great games for that reason.
It starts simple, but stays rich round after round. Luck and deduction in equal parts keep new players feeling like they're equal and old players on their toes.
Being a deck of cards means that it can make the journey an be played in the small lulls in life. We've taken to playing it between gigs and recording in my band. I often lose, but frankly I love losing in this game. It's just so silly, and rounds are only 5 mins long at most. It's GG's all round.
Love letter is a great intro into games that proves that a deck of 21 cards or so can hold more fun and spontaneity than an old classic, that even our ADHD warriors can hold strong with the autistic brethren and that there's breath and life left in all of us.
