About the game

Love Letter: Adventure Time reskins Seiji Kanai's beloved deduction game with characters from the hit cartoon Adventure Time, as suitors compete for the affections of Princess Bubblegum. Each round, players hold just one card, drawing and discarding to try to eliminate opponents through the powers of their cards, with the last player standing or highest card holder scoring a point. A unique twist lets a player win instantly by playing the 'Hero' card and forcing an opponent to discard its counterpart. It's a fast, tense card game for 2-4 players that plays in about 20 minutes.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli's team continues to love the core Love Letter formula for how much tension and bluffing it packs into a tiny deck of cards, and this Adventure Time version brings a bright, playful reskin that fans of the show will appreciate. It's a fantastic quick filler that's easy to teach to non-gamers. The unique Hero-card win condition adds a fun variant twist not found in the base game. It's light enough that dedicated strategy gamers may want something meatier as a main course.

What we like

  • Classic Love Letter gameplay delivers tense bluffing in minutes.
  • Charming Adventure Time theme and art appeal to fans of the show.
  • Extremely quick to teach and play, ideal as a filler game.
  • Unique Hero-card win condition adds a fresh twist to the formula.

Keep in mind

  • Very light strategic depth compared to longer card games.
  • High luck factor from small deck and card draw.
  • Adventure Time theme may not appeal to those unfamiliar with the show.

Who it's for

Perfect for 2-4 players, ages 10+, who enjoy quick, tense bluffing card games, including fans of the Adventure Time series.
