Question 1

True or false: The Priest allows you to look at another player's hand permanently.

Accepted Answer

False. The Priest only lets you see one hand for that moment—you don't keep the information written down or revealed later.

Question 2

True or false: In the original Love Letter, there are exactly 16 cards in the deck.

Accepted Answer

True. The classic game has 16 cards: 5 Guards, 2 each of Priests, Barons, Handmaids, Princes, and 1 each of King, Countess, Princess.

Question 3

True or false: If you have the Princess and are forced to discard it by the King, you still win.

Accepted Answer

False. Discarding the Princess eliminates you from the round, regardless of how it happens—even from the King's effect.

Question 4

True or false: The love letter in the game is always addressed to the princess.

Accepted Answer

True. The game's theme centers on delivering a love letter to Princess Annette, making her the intended recipient for all players.

Question 5

True or false: The Baron lets you compare hands and the player with the lower card is eliminated.

Accepted Answer

True. If you use the Baron, both players reveal their hand; the lower value is knocked out. Ties cause no elimination.

Question 6

True or false: The Countess must be discarded if you hold the King or the Prince.

Accepted Answer

False. The Countess forces discard only if you also hold the King or Prince—not just either alone. Many players misremember this.

Question 7

True or false: You can play the Handmaid while holding the Princess with no risk.

Accepted Answer

False. If forced to discard the Princess later, you lose. The Handmaid only protects you until your next turn, not from later effects.

Question 8

True or false: The Guard card can guess any card name, including 'Guard' itself.

Accepted Answer

True. A Guard can target any card, including another Guard, but guessing wrong means no effect—a common surprise for new players.
