This episode features another family game recommendation: Love Letter, designed by Seiji Kanai, and now published in the US by Z-Man Games with art by the amazing Andrew Bosley.

In Love Letter, players try to get their love letter to the princess. The original game featured just 16 cards, with colorful characters from the royal court: a prince, a king, a handmaid, a baron, and, oh yes, the princess herself. How much fun can you have with a game consisting of just 16 cards? As it turns out, a lot! Love Letter is one of our family’s favorite games.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. This episode features the podcast’s royal postage reporter, my 11-year-old niece!
