The Latest Card Games

Love Letter
Love Letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2-4 players. All of the eligible young men (and many of the not-so-young) seek to woo the princess of Tempest. Unfortunately, she has locked herself in the palace, and you must rely on others to bring your romantic letters to her. Will yours reach her first? Your goal is to get your love letter into Princess Annette's hands while deflecting the letters from competing suitors. From a deck with only sixteen cards, each player starts with only one card in hand; one card is removed from play. On a turn, you draw one card, and play one card, trying to expose others and knock them from the game. Powerful cards lead to early gains, but make you a target. Rely on weaker cards for too long, however, and your letter may be tossed in the fire!

Iota
Iota is a compact card game in which players compete to score points by playing cards whose three attributes individually are either all the same or all different. Add cards to a grid, making sure that color, shape and number are either all the same or all different across the line. This may sound really easy, but as the grid expands, so do the possibilities! Whoever sees the opportunities will seize the win. Iota - the pocket-sized game that's big time fun.
