Love Letter
Designer: Seiji Kanai
Publisher: Alderac Entertainment Group
Love Letter is one of our all-time favorites, and a game that hits the table almost every time we set foot inside Myriad. 2-4 players attempt to collect the most cubes in a multi-round rush to remain the last player standing. Quick, easy to teach, and a lot of fun to play.
