As an American, I can vouch for our unsavory nature.

This game is Stephs favourite new game of the last year or so. And some of the test sessions we had were hilarious fun with our friends who played it.

Shrieking "oh darling, you simply must see the Gaze-bo" in fake posh accents seems like a requirement for the game.

Finally got this game for Christmas, and i’m so happy you vouch for this game so hard. I think this game has officially evangelized my sister into the hobby. She was not only really into it but played amazingly; trouncing me and my mom. The integration of theme with the mechanics really sunk their hooks because they religiously watched Bridgeton, and Downton Abbey. Thanks Jarrod

My wife enjoys Marrying Mr D'Arcy and loves Downton Abbey in TV, I feel like this would be fun to try with her.

This seems boring in the same way Austen seems boring. Which is, once you give it a chance it's probably crazy complex and engaging as hell

Finally got my game off of the 2nd Kickstarter. Boy this game is fun! 2 plays and it has jumped to top 20 favorite games. I can easily see it going to top 10. Thanks for this video, which originally turned me onto the game.

My wife (of 1 month) loves the victorian era and loves this game too :)

I love this game, and I live very near to Derbyshire (pronounced 'Darbyshire' - I think our place name spelling is deliberately awkward! 😁). Great review.

Nice to see your video on the kickstarter page. Keep up the great work!

Preordered for the 2nd printing in December. Planned release April. Pandemic delayed it until September. Good game, highly recommend. Pretty basic worker placement, but the theme and the use of the tiles really make this game engaging.

Just got my copy today! Great video, as always.

Great review Jarrod! This game is very high on my wish list. Thx!

[lord_butterstick]

Fantastic review! Adding the game to wishlist and man I love how you put other suggestions at the end because I've never heard about Marrying Mr. Darcy before and I went straight to the review of that game right after this one and now I desire to obtain both of them ASAP >_<

[rahdo]

you know, in the interest of saving time, saying "there is a solo mode" is kind of redundant right after you said player count is 1-4 :)

I really like this game. I am NOT a Jane Austin or Upstairs-Downstairs/Downton Abbey TV show fan. But this game is great... despite the theme! Highly recommended.

[northlakeghost]

I love board games, euros, and Jane Austen so this would be amazing, but the massive lit nerd in me is cranky that it says "victorian england". The Victorian era didn't begin until 20 years after Austen was dead. I know it doesn't call out Austen by name but with references to pride, prejudice, and an estate in Derbyshire I think we can safely say that's the intent.

[IgnatzZwakh]

Oh man, you got me curious to play this one now. Makes me wish there were some sort of Henry James-themed game. Though I suppose in that the winner would be whoever didn't marry!

[AlasBoardGames]

I've only played it once, but it was a lot of fun. It's, of course, to talk refined trash about the other families around the table. And underneath the fun theme, there sure is tough game. Nice!

[stevegeorge]

I just got my KS version with all the expansions.

[DnDarrenJ]

Our family loves Marrying Mr. Darcy, which is a solid game even for non-Austen fans. This game looks like a lot of fun!

Gotta show this review to the Missus =)
