Your goal is to gain the most Prestige by making advantageous matches, impressing influential patrons and playing host at prestigious locations
Mrs Bennet wants husbands for her five daughters. Will they snare the magnificent Mr Darcy, the wicked Mr Wickham or the utterly hopeless Collins?
Wealthy and beautiful Emma Woodhouse is a manic matchmaker in her own right. Could one of Derbyshire’s eligible gentlemen persuade her to settle down?
The Dashwood sisters are as unalike as ice and fire. While Elinor struggles to acknowledge her feelings, Marianne is ready to party like it’s 1799.
The young ladies and gentlemen of Mansfield Park are longing for a diversion. When the scandalous Crawfords arrive, hearts and hormones are aflutter.
Catherine Morland is a book geek who really needs to get out more – so she does. An overactive imagination in a big gothic castle, what could go wrong?
Anne Elliot really regrets ditching the dashing Captain Wentworth, especially now he’s made a fortune. Can she win him back or is she bound for spinsterville?
Charm reflects how witty, attractive and generally fun at parties the character is.
Rank is the character’s social standing and their own sense of self-importance.
Fortune might not be able to buy you love, but it can make you a desirable match.
Virtue is kindness, courage and all things nice.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
