Hours of fun for Jane Austen fans of all ages: This literary card game features simple and
satisfying gameplay with a beautifully illustrated deck full of favorite characters from all of
the novels.

Hold on to heroines like Emma Woodhouse and Anne Elliot to win the highest dowry as
you gossip with Mrs. Bennet to gain insight into another player’s hand, send an opponent’s
card eloping with John Yates to remove it from play, or use Mr. Darcy’s refusal to dance to

skip the next player’s turn. Whether you steal, snub, trade, or quadrille your way to the
end of the round, try not to be left with the Old Maid!

LITERARY TWIST ON CLASSIC CARD GAME: Marriage is the name of the game in this
Jane Austen-inspired game of trading, stealing, and claiming cards. Never be satisfied with less:
Claim the highest dowry to win!
JANE AUSTEN FOREVER: Celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary with this unique
homage to her beloved novels. Illustrations by Meghann Rader bring each character to life,
capturing the romance and eccentricity that make Austen’s books stand the test of time.

GREAT FUN FOR LITERATURE LOVERS: This smart, elegant card game has Jane Austen
trivia built in, with Dowry cards and Action cards inspired by each character’s role in Austen’s
literary universe and a booklet full of character fun facts. Endeavor to keep company with the
likes of Elizabeth Bennet, Elinor Dashwood, or Fanny Price to gain access to a valuable dowry
sum. Border on rudeness with Frank Churchill, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, or John Thorpe to
shake up the gameplay. Or fan the flames of scandal by ‘eloping’ with another player’s card, in
the vein of George Wickham or Penelope Clay. There’s endless fun to be had.
BRILLIANT GIFT: This card game is easy enough to play with the whole family or as a book
club diversion, and it makes a charming present for Janeites and other book lovers in your life.
Perfect for:
 Jane Austen fans
 Bibliophiles and bookworms
 Family game night group play
 Card game enthusiasts of all ages
 Anyone looking for unique and beautiful literary gifts for any occasion
