Description
In Jane Austen's Matchmaker: Chapter Two, you get to take on the role of a Regency-era matchmaker, guiding your characters through the complexities of love and relationships, all in the pursuit of earning the most prestige. With the roll of a dice, you'll discover the motives and preferences of your characters, from hopeless romantics to those more concerned with social status and fortune. Each character has their own unique preferences, making them more likely to fall for someone with a particular trait, whether it's charm, virtue, rank, or fortune. As you navigate the game, you'll need to make suitable matches for your characters, taking into account the preferences of your patrons, like the discerning Mrs Norris and Lady Bertram. Marrying off one of your gold-diggers to a rich suitor, for example, can earn you a significant amount of prestige, but be careful who you invite to prestigious residences like Mansfield Park - they don't take kindly to riffraff. The game is easy to learn, but with a playtime of 30 to 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to develop your strategy and outmaneuver your opponents. Whether you're playing head-to-head or with up to three other players, you'll need to assess each proposal carefully and weigh your chances of coming out on top. Designed by Richard Wolfrik Galland and released in 2017, Jane Austen's Matchmaker: Chapter Two is a fun and engaging game that combines elements of dice rolling, hand management, and take-that mechanics. With its novel-based theme and social gameplay, it's perfect for fans of card games and Austen enthusiasts alike. And if you're looking for even more challenge and variety, be sure to check out the expansion pack, Jane Austen's Revenge. So gather your friends, get ready to make some matches, and see who will emerge as the ultimate matchmaker in this delightful and entertaining game.
