What this is
In Love Letter, players try to get a letter to the princess or remove all their rivals. Players win either way. 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, they draw one card, and play one card, trying to expose others and knock them from the game.
