Lovecraft Letter

Investigate 1920s mysteries or embrace eldritch madness in a compact card game. Players draw and play cards to eliminate rivals or end the round with the highest value, using familiar deduction and hand-management mechanics. A set of special insanity cards adds new powers and a risk-reward layer: discarded insanity cards grant alternate effects but force sanity checks each turn that can eliminate a player from the round. Wins earn tokens marked by whether the victor remained sane or succumbed to madness, and accumulating tokens determines the overall winner.
