Tanto Cuore: Romantic Vacation whisks you away to a paradise island, but don't leave your deck behind. This gem is an expansion (and a standalone base game!) for the Tanto Cuore series, where you play as a house lord tasked with hiring the best maids to expand your deck and, of course, rack up victory points. It starts simple, with a basic deck of love cards and a few helpers, but you'll soon be broadening your options with new cards. The real highlight here is the "reminiscence cards." Forget curse cards; the vibe here is different! These cards represent unforgettable moments from your vacation, like bonfires on the beach or stargazing. The cool part is they grant a lot of points but aren't bought with love. To get them, you need to discard a specific number of maids from your hand. This opens up a way to score points solely with your maids, something that wasn't possible before! And the best part: these memory cards don't enter your deck; they stay out, ensuring your deck remains focused on action. It's a quick game with deck-building and hand management mechanics that have already won over many players, perfect for those who enjoy a light theme and a strategic challenge that isn't too heavy. ## FAQ ### How many players can play Tanto Cuore: Romantic Vacation?
