There is a school of thought on Twitter (where you can find us @BonhomiegamesUK) that says that when the number of different editions of Love Letter matches the number of editions of Munchkin, a wormhole will open up in reality, that will cause the end of the universe as we know it and something wholly different and strange to emerge in its place.

There is another school of thought on Twitter that says that this has already happened.
