The latest in the Z-Man/Asmodee line of Love Letter has just been released, called Marvel Infinity Gauntlet.

This is an interesting version for the game because it takes Love Letter in a new direction. Love Letter goes from its free for all last person standing to a one against many game.

I think production wise and component wise Z-Man have knocked things out of the park.

It’s certainly easier getting the game out of the packaging over previous releases from AEG that were the sealed plastic boxes.

Like my other copies of Love Letter I will be sleeving the cards. That’s just me.

The art used is thankfully art from the comic books and not photos from the movies.

As you can see below the art for the card backs makes it easy to identify which deck is which whilst still looking awesome.

Below I’ve shown examples of the cards from both decks.

The Thanos deck has cards that are either henchmen or infinity gems. Whilst the heroes deck is made up from superheroes.

The nice thing is that the graphic design of the cards is straight out comic book. Which you’d expect. But sometimes publishers like to disappoint.

The life/score tracking card to which you will attach the two sliding trackers has a handy setup summary on the reverse.

The player aids are double sided, heroes one side and Thanos the other.

I can’t wait to play this once the on going world event allows to see how it plays.

Once I’ve played the game I’ll write another post looking at what I like about it and dislike about it. Apart from the obvious there are some new mechanics introduced in this game and they need to be experienced first before commenting.
