The original Love Letter is a smash hit game that’s spawned many interesting versions. You could woo a Princess through risk, deduction, and luck in the original.
The latest twist also features a Princess, but differently, and if there’s a gold bikini in the game, it’s certainly not featured in the promo art. We’re talking Star Wars: Jabbas Palace.
Princess Leia does appear but looking badass in her Boushh bounty hunter armour.
The game is out now, in Asmodee’s web store and already availably internationally via Amazon. It’s already gone into my wishlist.
Asmodee suggests that the game takes about 20 minutes to play, which would be longer than my Batman Love Letter missions, and suits 2 to 6 players. I’d recommend at least 3 based on my experience of the variants.
Z-Man Games, who helm the project, say;
Like the original Love Letter, Star Wars: Jabba’s Palace – A Love Letter Game features easy-to-learn rules that create fun, ever-changing player dynamics. Players take turns drawing and playing cards based on beloved characters from Star Wars: Return of the JediTM like Luke SkywalkerTM, Boba FettTM and Jabba the HuttTM. Familiar faces from both the Rebel Alliance™ and Jabba’s crew will help players achieve victory. New to Star Wars: Jabba’s Palace — A Love Letter Game are Agenda Cards that shake up the traditional Love Letter gameplay with specific victory conditions and add endless replay value to each game.
