It’s easier to learn if you’re familiar with games like D&D or anything that depends on you improving your own stats. For my parents, it was a difficult game to learn at first (a lot of new concepts), but we pushed through. For my geeky, D&D friends who have never seen Pride and Prejudice, they picked it up very easily.
The game essentially goes like this: You have a deck of Character cards that improves your chosen Heroine (their amount of Beauty, Wit, etc) and a deck of Event cards that decides how you play those Character cards. Every turn, the players draw an Event card and follow the directions. The winner is the player who has improved their Heroine the most and married the best.
It’s really fun! I’m actually buying myself a copy because we ended up liking it so much.
You might have to read the directions more than once, but it's simple to set up, and easy to get into once you've started. The art is pretty and all of the pieces are sturdy, as well. I haven't bought any of the expansions, but I want to! This game deserves to be on your shelf if you love card games, austen-anything, or would just like to see which one of your friends is cunning enough to land the hottest man.
Overall, the setup and gameplay is quite simple: pick a heroine, determine which character traits (friendliness, wit, beauty, etc.) will attract your desired match, draw a card, and follow the instructions--all the while collecting "character points" that will woo a mate! Each heroine begins with different abilities: Lizzy, for instance, comes with automatic wit points, while Charlotte Lucas has a decent dowry. And, despite Darcy's universal appeal, each heroine has one best match for her. (Poor Mr. Collins may indeed contribute much to someone's felicity...or at least their final score!)
When the deck of event cards is gone, players move into the proposal phase to determine--based on character points--which suitors will deem them eligible matches. The roll of the die decides your final fate: will you find a marriage of "true affection," or is your heroine doomed to become an old maid? Regardless of whether you're able to marry the "most amiable man of your acquaintance," the final score is the total of character points + marriage points, which evens the playing field a little. Just because Darcy and Lizzy find each other and earn a whopping 15 marriage points, for example, a poorer match (say, Caroline Bingley and Mr. Collins) may still have accrued enough character points to even out their low marriage points and be admirable competitors.
The game doesn't take long to figure out nor to explain, thanks to the basic draw-a-card, play-a-card, discard-a-card routine. However, despite a fair bit of luck controlling the outcome, there is an element of strategy in both collecting the right character cards AND using your wits to prevent other players from deterring your romance in a most unladlylike fashion! Of course, there are several surprises hiding in the deck to derail your plans (that nasty Mr. Wickham with a surprise elopement!)...and helping you to derail your foes (why, perhaps you will choose to prevent Mr. Bingley from leaving London, thus rendering him unable to propose to your adversary!).
Of course there is much to chuckle about herein. Being an Austen fan is not required, but it does add a layer of depth to the clever action cards. It's always fun to yell, "Scandal!" when you draw such a card and have to face the consequences for kissing militia members. It's even more fun for literary sorts who know all about those frivolous young Bennet sisters and their shameful ways! (Having now played this several times with several different groups after writing the initial review, I can say with much conviction that lovers of Austen--or at least the BBC--express significantly more delight than those unfamiliar with her works. Those who haven't yet imbibed on a heavy dose of Austen's writing can at times seem unimpressed or slightly stumped by the references, even though I initially thought them generic enough to transcend boundaries. I stand corrected.)
All in all, a lightweight, lighthearted game that plays in about 20-30 minutes. Of course it isn't a pure strategy game, and it appeals mainly to a niche market, but the execution of the theme, attention to detail, and jubilant laughter that ensues make this reviewer a most satisfied beneficiary. Gentle reader, consider purchasing this game. If you had ever played, you should have been a great proficient!
