The Letter Sketches is a lovely game by @Maharhar. Played by correspondence, you randomly generate a sketch associated with a theme ("imagination", "regret") and send it to the person you love that it reminds you of most.
They are asked to respond and consider why you felt that way. That's the game.
The thing I love both about this short lyric game is the introspection it encourages in both participants. It is shared, communal, guided by love and by beauty.
I also love the twist: the second player does not know they are playing the game.
Is this twist dishonest? I'm not sure. There is some dishonesty here; not all lies are black though. I'm not sure how I feel about that but I still find it interesting.
This game: Worth buying; worth sending on; ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
