About the game

Star Wars: Jabba's Palace - A Love Letter Game reimagines the classic Love Letter card game with iconic Return of the Jedi characters like Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, and Jabba the Hutt. Players draw and play a card each turn, triggering its effect, in the simple push-your-luck deduction gameplay Love Letter is known for. New Agenda cards introduce fresh win conditions beyond simple elimination, adding a layer of strategy to the classic formula. It's a quick, tense game of deduction and bluffing set in a beloved corner of the Star Wars galaxy.

Hobbli's Notes

Hobbli thinks this is a fun, well-themed reskin of a proven classic: the Agenda cards genuinely add new decision points without complicating the elegant original rules.
