So you’ve come to Lost Legacy because the theme of Love Letter didn’t work for you, and space is cool! You’ve heard a lot of good things about Kanai’s micro-masterpiece, and a skin of the game with a theme you can stomach is just what you were looking for. Well, Lost Legacy is certainly as good as Love Letter, but there are a surprising number of differences between them. You know… as different as 16 cards can be.
This one was never really on my radar, but after having read the review, that’s certainly changed. Great writeup @AD!
Hmmm….And here I thought the Love Letter craze/phase was about choosing your skin and being done with it. Took care of Munchkin Loot Letter as a stocking stuffer and was content. (Of course, also picking up the AEG/Cryptozooic Batman skin eventually – just cause – I mean – UTILITY POUCH!)
And in strolls the scoop on Lost Legacy and leave it to AEG to make it ‘expandable’ too. Curse you AEG and your desirous games!
Clever Boys….

It definitely is a different experience than Love Letter. I love Love Letter, but I also really enjoy LL:The Starship. I find that it has more of a combat/in your face feel than Love Letter.
I seems diffent enough from Love Letter to own both…I will get it eventually
Did not like this game. Love letter rules!!

@Kassidy – at least it’s not a $90 explosion of miniatures!
@AD – I’ve been holding off on getting this because there wasn’t an in-depth description. Now I have no excuse. Dangit.
