Star Wars Love Letter Is Coming…For Russians Only
December 12, 2015 by brennon
It looks like all of your hopes and dreams for a Star Wars version of AEG's Love Letter have been shattered. A million voices are crying out in pain right now. Because of some weird licensing laws the only place they are allowed to sell copies of it is Russia!
While it's a shame that we won't be seeing this in English or any other language for that matter right now it should be quite easy to get a hold of this from somewhere and then just work out who everyone is from the numbers on their cards. You can see three of them below starting with Princess Leia who is number eight - the Princess...
Then following on from her we have Luke Skywalker who carries the number five which makes him the Prince meaning that you can't have him caught alongside whichever the 'Countess' equivalent is.
Last but not least we have the Stormtrooper who is number one making him the standard guard in the game allowing him to root out other characters and get people out of the game. "This is not the card you're looking for..."
One thing that I do like about this set is that the artwork is wonderful. I like the way that they've gone for semi-realistic but with a hint of the over the top to make it fit into the art style. Would you head to Russia (or go online) to get your hands on a Russian copy?
Let me know below...

Okay I may have to go to my local Moscow game shop.
Thing is my Russian is terrible and I live here – maybe my students could translate it for me 🙂
Fortunately love letter is simple enough you could print out a cheat sheet with the text for all of the cards for each player to reference.
Have to find a copy of this and get it translated then … these will be going for premium prices on ebay me thinks …
A business idea 🙂
Surely it should be Leia that Luke can’t be caught alongside? ;p
I hope they accidentally ship some to Moscow, Idaho.
I just ordered one here to the US.
