Discover whether love will survive the horrors of the Great War in this two player letter-writing game. 

Through this game you'll create the correspondence between a soldier in World War 1 and their loved one back home. A deck of cards guides the direction of the feelings that you express in the letters as you discover the couple’s lives during the game.

Over the five chapters you will write up to five letters each, guided by prompts in each chapter and the suits of a hand of playing cards. Together discovering these characters and their love for one another — and finding out whether their love survives the war.
