The Jane Game is a trivia board game devoted to Jane Austen's six novels. It is designed to bring Austen admirers together to share in her stories, characters, wit and language. While playing, each participant enters Jane's world by role-playing one of her heroines. As such, you seek after a fortunate life by becoming an accomplished woman, gaining life experience, and choosing to marry or not. Through chance, expertise, and choice you could become the envied Mrs. Darcy, the pitied Mrs. Collins, or the new roommate of Miss Bates. The Jane Game is for 2-7 players (Austen wrote seven heroines into her six novels) and lasts about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on how chatty and good-humored the heroines are. This high-quality game includes 1 board, over 300 trivia questions, 14 hero and heroine playing pieces, 60 accomplishment cards (with favorite quotes from the books), 7 character cards, 40 grace cards, 21 societal tokens and 1 die.
