Love Letter Classic (Eco Box) review

Love Letter is a short game of risk and deduction where players try to get their letter delivered to the Princess. The Classic Eco Box sells for $15.99 on the Asmodee US store, the lowest verified price on this list, and Z-Man Games lists it for 2 to 6 players, ages 10 and up, with a 15 minute play time. The contents are 21 character cards, 6 reference cards, 13 acrylic tokens, a rulebook and a velvet bag, and Z-Man says the new packaging has no single-use plastics. Z-Man describes it as easy to learn, with bluffing and strategy to outwit opponents. It is a filler rather than a main event: with 21 cards, variety is limited, and players can be knocked out of a round. Families who want a longer, richer game for under $25 should look at Codenames or Just One.
