It is the Great War. Letters flow back and forth between the soldiers in the trenches and their loved ones back home. Letters of encouragement, passion, fear, and hope. And sometimes letters of tragedy.

This is an immersive table top story game for 2 players. A game session typically takes 1 hour to play. All you need is a pack of playing cards, some paper and pens, and this short rulebook. You don’t need any historical knowledge to play— the rulebook is filled with real-life examples that will help steer you towards the kind of letters that people were writing to one another.

Discover a wartime couple trying to keep their relationship alive during the separation and horror of war. Find out whether love does actually conquer all.
