So this is a sort of First Play! Love Letter: Adventure time, like Love Letter: Batman is a reskin of the original Love Letter. I'm not going to go into any particular detail here and will only list the notable differences. if you want to know more, the blog on original can be found here. Unsurprisingly, all the art featured throughout the game is sourced from the cartoon and the characters will be recognisable to fans. If you're not a fan, it's quirky and very cartoony-styled gentle parody of the original artwork with a bright palette, a style I find perfectly acceptable. Annoyingly though, some of the cards have been renamed; 'The Prince' becomes 'Hero', 'Handmaid' becomes 'Companion' and so on. I know that it's probably a better fit with the show's narrative and theme but it still means that even players who know Love Letter well will be referring to the rules! Instead of standard hearts or cubes, Love Letter: Adventure Time uses bright, multicoloured acrylic 'gems' to track scores and I have to admit they are pretty nice. With a couple of exceptions, the rules are broadly speaking, identical to vanilla Love Letter. Luckily, these additional rules don't break the game like some other reskins do but by the same measure, nor do they add anything to it and truth be told, can be easily ignored. Which is something I would do since I've always found the original Love Letter to have the best implementation of the rules. So is it worth getting Love Letter: Adventure Time? If you've already got some version of Love Letter; unless you're a completionist or a fan of the cartoon then you can skip this. However, if you're a fan and don't have a copy of Love Letter, it's a fantastic game and you should definitely get one and this version is a good as any. In fact if you don't have a copy of Love Letter, you should get one regardless!  Love Letter: Adventure Time compared to the original.
