The Morning News: 2014 Good Gift Games

12/3/2014

Marrying Mr. Darcy made The Morning News 2014 Good Gift Games list, along with a lot of other great games! We are in fantastic company! Article written by Matthew Baldwin. Here's a quote:
...I couldn't figure out why it bills itself as a “role-playing game.” ...During my first play of the game, however, it became abundantly clear why the RPG appellation makes sense—even an Austen-ignoramus such as myself couldn’t play the “Point out the faults of your rivals” card without actually doing so, and by the time the proposal stage rolls around I was very invested in netting my preferred husband.

Interview with Brutal Gamer

12/3/2014

Nadia at Brutal Gamer was nice enough to interview me about Marrying Mr. Darcy. A lot of the interview focused on the process of designing the game and how it relates to Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Here's a sample:, 
Svanoe took her deep rooted love towards Pride and Prejudice and developed Marrying Mr. Darcy: The Pride and Prejudice Board Game. This is the first official gaming project that she has done.

For those that are unfamiliar with Pride and Prejudice, Svanoe explained some of the history about the time period in the novel, and how this affects the game play for the board game.

“The women of Pride and Prejudice had very limited options as middle to upper class educated ladies in Regency period society. They basically had to marry in order to maintain a respectable lifestyle. All of Austen’s novels are based around this central idea, which is completely antiquated today, but was a huge part of Austen’s reality.

The mechanics of Marrying Mr. Darcy come from the idea that a lady could try to improve herself to catch the interest of an eligible suitor, and hopefully be lucky enough to receive a proposal,” said Svanoe.

You can read the rest of the interview here!
