Star Wars: Jabba's Palace - A Love Letter Game Review - with Roy Cannaday

[@waferjuice]

ROY I love your new studio. your voice is so CRISP and ur mic is so GOOD!!!!!!! WELL DONE

[@TheMrTelespectador]

Great review, Roy! It would be cool to see more lone reviews from you.

[@ninehundred352]

More Roy Reviews! Seriously though great review, always appreciate your view points. Cheers!

[@deronfreudenthal5646]

Great video! Like the new approach from the intro all the way through. Just received my copy of this the other day and can’t wait to play it. Jedi was my favorite movie as a kid so looking forward to some nostalgic feels while playing one of the most approachable classic fun games of all time. Thanks Roy!

[@nerzenjaeger]

Love seeing Roy in front of the camera.

[@DoppelgangerF02]

ROYYYYYY love to see ya do one of these! awesome music n graphics here!

[@user-gk2pq1qz1x]

Great review Roy, love your passion!

[@ACriticalThought]

Thanks for the review, Roy! I am excited to give this one a whirl!

[@joshestes6427]

Good to see you reviewing here Roy!!

[@thessik5660]

Surprised it took them this long to make one in the S.W. IP. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review

[@tomasxfranco]

We are close to needing a top 10 love letters, haha

[@thecardsmiths1262]

Thanks for the review Roy! :)

[@benjaminspears8488]

Thanks Roy! For me, I think Infinity Gauntlet is still the best version of Love Letter as it keeps everyone active in the game the whole time. I'm not super sold on the player elimination in this one because it seems a player could conceivably not even get a first turn without getting knocked out...and it's completely based on the luck of the draw. That seems like a problem even if the turns are super quick. Maybe it wouldn't be that much of an issue, but it's just my impression from the review. Love the theme though!

[@lseeley]

One thing I like to do with when players get knocked out is to include them when secretly sharing card information between players and encourage them to bounce around and see what cards people are holding.

[@benjaminspears8488]

@@lseeley That’s something we used to do with our kids to keep them busy, but now we seldom play games that have player elimination. It’s more fun all around if everyone keeps playing. In this one, it wouldn’t be very fun to have your turn end based on a random card flip. At least with Infinity Gauntlet there’s some fun guessing and teamwork involved.

[@tabletalkreviews]

Which is better, Jabba's Palace or Infinity Gauntlet? I have 3 versions of love letter, but wouldn't mind one of these new editions that is more different.

[@koenleysen3480]

Get lovecraft letter. This one for me is the very best version. Just ordered jabbas Palace though. Lets see if it holds up.

[@Ederfb78]

Love Letter and played that one yesterday, really enjoyed it! It's different enough from the orignal to have it's own value. Just like you, I'm definitely recommending it! Great video!!

[@poncem4]

Fun intro!

[@mylor1066]

Good job Roy!

[@henrikwakman7776]

Great vibe, great review.

[@adrianwong81]

Great job Roy, makes me want to get the game even though I'm not a big fan of Love Letter the Star Wars theme sells it better for me.

[@Indubitably14]

Nice review Roy. I've only played Love Letter classic and Love Letter: Batman (virtually the same game) but this looks different. I'll get it and hope to see more reviews from you soon!

[@BoardGamesandBarbells]

Great job Roy!!! Do you like it better than Marvel Love Letter (infinity gauntlet)?

[@Mathroy]

Good Review Roy :) Question, can the Guard and C-3P0 guess the number 1? In regular Love Letter, the Guards' card specifies "any number other than 1" but this Star Ward version doesn't. Thanks.

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

I've never played Love Letter, and being a Star Wars fan, this one interests me.

[@JoeyjojoShabadoo7]

I may have to give this one a try. We tried love letter years ago and my gaming group quit after three rounds. Maybe this theme will make it work.

[@neild3163]

Looks great.

[@lemdavefn]

Can't wait to get this new version! So far, I have Lovecraft Letter, Love Letter 2019 edition, Adventure Time, and an Arrested Development print-and-play one. I love these ones which do minimal thematic changes.

[@deeza85za]

Love letter Batman is my favorite.

[@pilotvc]

Yeah definitely getting this

[@soogymoogi]

Aww what a fun intro! I've never played a love letter game so I appreciate the full explanation. Sounds like a light fun card game.

[@moewolf5195]

Looks very much like lovecraft letter our current favorite version, so I will definetly get it. Our favorite filler game by a mile or two..

[@gs24-xor]

A review from Roy? Bring it on!!! what's it for? who knows who cares, let's watch it

[@grog3514]

I'm surprised they didn't use characters from the Disney star wars trilogy. It was so popular...

[@IndianaGeologist]

I could do with less flair in the intro and transitions.

[@gem-gaming]

Thank you so much. I love love letters game and I think I’ll put this guy here in my collection. Best regards from Italy 🇮🇹

[@nokerblx]

I love roblos ❤

[@jackiejlw5493]

Haha, love the Star Trek avatar-Roy disappointed by Jabbas Palace. 😆

[@iKronky]

This looks pretty cool but I dont know if I need to swap out my original love letter for it. It looks pretty similar for the most part

[@CosmicTavern]

Nee Jabba no badda

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

For me, part of the beauty of Love Letter is its simplicity. Many of these spin-offs ruin that in my view. Doesn't help that the card art/overall design looks like it was leftover from a 1990's TCG.

[@RetroMaticGamer]

I agree. Standard Love Letter has an unmatched level of elegance and balance. Many of the re-themes did well in not disrupting that. This one not only over-complicates the game, but by making the high cards so powerful (as opposed to punitive and dangerous) it pretty much ruins the strategy, making it just another crappy Take-That card game.

[@benjaminspears8488]

Have you tried the Infinity Gauntlet version? That’s definitely our preferred version of Love Letter! With it being a cooperative one vs many game it works brilliantly.

[@ScruffyNerfhurder]

Some of us played the Star Wars ccg in the 90s and still have their decks in the closet. I like it for the nostalgia. I get why most might not like the way it looks but I do.

[@bolehtahan]

Would have been good to have gone through each card in the review so I can decide whether or not this would be different enough to pick up.

[@Poiuytrew.Q]

Red shirt!

[@tempestfury8324]

Oh please no! As much as I used to love Star Wars (I was 9 in 1977), it needs to stop. Why people give Disney their money is beyond comprehension.

[@Ederfb78]

Just don't buy it if your not interested. Why when someone is not interested in something they feel the need to let everyone knows. Why did you even click on this video in the first place...?

[@tempestfury8324]

@@Ederfb78 : Because it's a comment section, and not everyone has the same views. That's the beauty of it! How boring life would be if we just agreed upon everything. Love the game if you do....but don't tell me I can't disagree.

[@Ederfb78]

@@tempestfury8324 I totally agree with you that is a comment section and you can comment if you want. What I don’t understand is if you’re really not interested in a Love letter Star Wars version, why did you clicked on the video in the first place? I saw a lot of videos on KZbin that do not interest me, I just don’t click on them… Why people always assume that everything should be made for them and when it’s not, they feel the need to let the world know…?

[@tempestfury8324]

@@Ederfb78 : Easy answer! I watch almost every episode of the Dice Tower, including games that don't necessarily interest me. I like the opinions of Tom, Zee, Roy, and Mike even if I disagree with them.

[@charliedc4728]

I just don't get it. These love letter games just baffle me. Is this a game? It seems nothing, but randomness.
