Jabba's Palace: A Love Letter - Board Game

The home of the galaxy’s most notorious gangster is a place of danger and deception. Its vile denizens thrive within, but the members of the Rebel Alliance have their own plans. Based on the beloved card game and set in the Star Wars universe, Star Wars: Jabba’s Palace - A Love Letter Game retains the simple and fun mechanics of the original as you utilize the talents of iconic characters from Return of the Jedi.

Players take turns drawing a card and playing a card, then executing its effect. Cards include characters like Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Salacious Crumb, Jabba the Hutt, and many more. Through members of both the Rebel Alliance and Jabba’s crew, players must use these character’s abilities to outwit and outlast the others, while also using the new Agenda cards to find even more ways to win. In a quick card game of rebel bravery and vile deceit, can you carry out your agenda while outthinking your foes?

Love Letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2–4 players. 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!
