In Jane Austen&s Matchmaker a card game for 3 to 6 players you place your Ladies into Society & propose to other players& Ladies with your Gentlemen Some proposals lead to love & happiness & some to financial prosperity but some are nothing more than shallow seductions Whatever happens you must ensure that your characters come out on top! When proposing if a Gentleman&s Charm is lower than the Lady&s he must discard cards to make up the difference If he wants to really impress her he can discard additional cards to boost his Charm If the Lady accepts the players exchange characters & whoever has the higher Wealth draws cards equal to the difference If she declines
- paying cards if necessary to counter his Charm offensive
- the Gentleman returns to the player&s hand to brush up on his manners Declining a proposal from a Gentleman with a higher Rank will earn you additional cards & if you have more Ladies in Society than anyone else at the start of your turn you get an extra &go& This can help you to dominate the matchmaking scene but will doubtless draw the ire of your rivals It&s good to be protective of your Ladies but don&t let them get left on the shelf When the deck runs out the game ends & players tally up the Virtue of their married characters then subtract the Virtue of their &old maids& (Ladies left unwed in Society) Whoever has the highest Virtue total wins!
