Polite Society: The Jane Austen Board Game

Why Polite Society is so great (okay, yes, we are biased, but it is pretty great):

• Austen fans will love the references – there’s a unique Austen quote on each of the 216 cards, and you can invite all the best Austen characters you know and love to your “dining table” board to win.

• You don’t need to know any Austen to play (or win!). What a great way to sneakily convert your less literary-obsessed friends. ????

• It’s pretty easy to learn but has great replay value.

• The game components are high quality – we even splashed out on metallic ink for a little ✨ razzle dazzle ✨ on the box.

About the game

Bringing all your favorite Jane Austen characters to life, in Polite Society: The Jane Austen Board Game players compete to collect guests to complete their ultimate dinner party table.

From Elizabeth Bennet to Emma Woodhouse, every Janeite can now welcome their much-loved heroines, heroes, unwanted suitors, and overbearing relatives to their dining table using societal assets – wit, wealth, heart, and beauty.

The better the seat at the table, the more likely the character will generate assets each turn. The first player to complete their dining table wins. Each of the cards has a unique quote from one of Jane Austen’s full-length novels – Emma, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility – or from Jane’s personal letters. Polite Society is a board game for lovers of literature and simply lovers of games.

While Janeites definitely will get a kick out of having Darcy sit at their dining table, anyone can play Polite Society: The Jane Austen Board Game. No knowledge of Austen or her works is required to play (or win). It’s a fun game for all!
