About this game
Love Letter's elegant deduction gets a Lovecraftian twist with an insanity mechanic. When certain cards are played, they go face-up in front of you, making you insane but giving access to powerful Cthulhu-themed abilities. The risk-reward of embracing madness for power while your opponents try to eliminate you before you assemble forbidden knowledge creates a darker, more strategic version of the original. Still plays in fifteen minutes, now with tentacles.
