"What could be more appealing to refined and well spoken relatives than the chance to interfere and intervene in regency period relationships and scheme and backstab your way to victory in finding the perfect coupling."

Traits are the qualities that matter most in polite society

Jane Austen's Matchmaker Chapter Two Symbol

Charm

Charm reflects how witty, attractive and generally fun at parties the character is.

Rank

Rank is the character’s social standing and their own sense of self-importance.

Fortune

Fortune might not be able to buy you love, but it can make you a desirable match.

Jane Austen's Matchmaker Chapter Two Symbol

Virtue

Virtue is kindness, courage and all things nice. 

Influencing Society

You draw to your hand an Influence card whenever you make a successful match. You also earn an Influence card whenever you decline a proposal. 

There are two types of Influence card: Host and Approval.

Do come over to visit!

A Host card lets you exchange a character from your Society with a character from another player’s Society. 

Both players gain Prestige from the exchange as shown on the card.

You can play a Host card on your turn instead of proposing a match.

Patron cards from Jane Austen's Matchmaker Chapter Two

Gain approval for your match!

Influential patrons will be happy to give their opinion of your matchmaking. They reward you with Prestige depending on which Trait they prefer.

You can play an Approval card when you accept a proposal or your proposal is accepted.

Proposing a Match

Choose a character in your Society and a character in another player’s Society who you think would make a suitable match.  The other player must now decide whether to accept or decline your proposal.

If the match is accepted...

The player who proposed the match follows these steps:

1. Roll a Matchmaker dice.

2. Take Prestige equal to the other character’s score in the Trait rolled.

3 Both cards are placed in the Discard pile to live happily ever after

4. If you have any Approval cards in your hand, you may play one now to gain additional Prestige. 

5. Draw an Influence card into your hand.

The player who received the proposal now follows the same steps 

Cards from Jane Austen's Matchmaker Chapter Two

Example: Willoughby’s player rolls Virtue and claims 2 Prestige for Mary Crawford’s Virtue. Mary’s player rolls [?] and changes the dice to her Preference (Charm) and so claims 5 Prestige for Willoughby’s Charm.

Cards from Jane Austen's Matchmaker Chapter Two

If the match is declined...

Both players must:

1. Roll a Matchmaker dice.

2. Lose Prestige equal to the other character’s score in the Trait you rolled.

3. Both characters remain in their respective players’ Societies. 

The player who declined draws an Influence card.

If you have no Prestige when you receive a proposal, you must accept it.

The game ends immediately when someone takes the last Prestige token or draws the last card from one of the three piles. After subtracting any Virtue from any characters remaining in your Society, whoever has accumulated the most Prestige is the winner!

Will you become polite society's greatest Matchmaker?
