Love Letter: The Hobbit – The Battle of the Five Armies

This is Love Letter in Middle-earth, a 2015 reskin built around the Battle of the Five Armies. The deck has 17 cards, topped by the Arkenstone at 8 and Bilbo Baggins at 7, down to the One Ring at 0. Every round you hold a single card, one card is set aside unseen, and on your turn you draw a second, play one, and use its power to peek at, swap with or knock out another player. Last one standing, or the highest card when the deck runs dry, wins a point. The twist is the One Ring, which does nothing while in play but counts as a 7 at the end, which can force ties with Bilbo. Tiny box, big bluffing.
