Discover whether love will survive the horrors of the Great War in this two player letter-writing game.

This is a letter writing game for two players. It represents the correspondence between a soldier in World War 1 and their loved one back home. A deck of cards guides the direction of the feelings that you express in the letters as you discover the couple’s lives during the game.

Over the five chapters you will write up to five letters each, guided by prompts in each chapter and the suits of a hand of playing cards. Together discovering these characters and their love for one another — and finding out whether their love survives the war.

  • Asynchronous play over email, shared documents or real letters. Play the game at your own pace.

Shipping

I use Royal Mail to ship all books both domestically and internationally. Shipping is real expensive these days but I've kept my margins as low as possible and grouped the shipping costs in weight increments of 250g to hopefully make it as fair as possible!

  • Within the UK: £4.50
  • Within the EU: starting at £6
  • Within the US: starting at £8
  • The rest of the world: starting at £7.5

I drop all parcels off with Royal Mail once a week on a Friday. Domestic parcels arrive within 1-2 business days, all other parcels arrive within 4-5 business days after being dropped off with Royal Mail.

Digital copies of all applicable products will be automatically emailed to you after checkout. Shoot us an email to store@peregrinecoast.press if you have any issues claiming your PDFs. 

I also collect taxes at checkout, so EU folks will have their packages sent duties paid. This means faster and cheaper delivery :)

This is part of the IOSS scheme. You'll see VAT-included prices on the shop (in EUR), I'll collect that VAT from you at checkout and remit it to your tax authority.
