Been following an old university chum's blog about his game playing with his young daughter and as I like to play board/card games with my son too I have been investing in some new ones lately. Have to say our mainstay game before this episode was Uno, then I bought Set for Easter and most recently Timeline (Discoveries) and lastly Love Letter.
Love Letter is well presented in a little red drawstring bag. The cards are well illustrated and the little booklet of instructions and backstory is great. The only criticism is the plastic bag the tokens of affection come in!
Had to rectify the situation so I altered a matchbox this morning suitable to hold these tokens. Yep much happier with the situation now.
As for the game, it only has 16 playing cards and they have various effects during the game making it intriguing, fun and curious all at the same time. It takes a little while to familiarise yourself with the cards and their effects but even my 14yr son likes the game. Had to start a game at breakfast which we'll finish just as soon as he gets in from school.

I have absolutely no idea about this game but isn't it a beautiful set! I love the little bag and those cards are future stash aren't they? haha! I can't believe that they used a plastic bag for the tokens after so much trouble went in the rest of the presentation. You have perfected the whole set with this pretty little box BJ x
Hi BJ love playing games with my grandchildren . They are slowly becoming a bit more sophisticated though still enjoy snakes and ladders with the two eldest now they don t ' cheat' :-) well not too much!! Love the altered matchbox - maybe you should sell the idea to the company that made the game!!
Am curious now where did you go to Uni, what did you study, do after graduating? You don t have to tell me :-) Anne x
Lol, ditto Karen, she has already so eloquently put what I was going to say!! This is absolutely adorable BJ.
Huge hugs x
