Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Nothing beats a group of adult hockey players playing Love Letter with a few pitchers of beer after a game.
  • I'd recommend Love Letter, Coup, Skull or Cockroach poker. They're all small and fairly quick for a round so let people drop in and out easily and all go up to 6 players.
  • I've tried and enjoyed all those except the crew... Most support a high player count and are easy to teach. Strategic is kind of a subjective thing but I would say they all have interesting choices and gameplay.
  • Love Letter and Mantis are both super fun fast playing card games
  • Love the Dominion cards and a Brailled sleeved Love Letter deck lives in my backpack.

Cons

  • Love Letter would also be on my character's fanny pack, but sometimes games go a little long so I'm less hesitant to whip it out, since I never know when a pack of enemies is gonna roll up and interrupt the session.
  • Love Letter: The goal of the game is to be the last player standing or be left with the highest value card at the end or the round.
  • Love Letter
  • Love letter is terrible at two.

If you enjoy the tense “risk-or-reveal” feeling of games like Coup, Skull, Love Letter, or even the high-stakes guessing moments from the videogame Buckshot Roulette, you’ll probably like this game.

Love Letter (quick, clever)

If you like fast, thinky fillers: try Love Letter, Scout, or Azul.

Love Letter (any edition) still slaps and fits in a pocket.
