About the game
Lovecraft Letter takes the classic Love Letter deduction system and infuses it with Lovecraftian horror. New insanity cards grant extra powers to anyone who has gone mad, but at the start of each turn insane players must undergo a sanity check, risking elimination for the round. Win as a sane investigator or an insane disciple of chaos.
Hobbli's Notes
A clever, quick reimagining of Love Letter with a fun risk/reward insanity twist. It adds real depth without complicating the elegant original system.

Who it's for
