Description
‘There, I will stake my last like a woman of spirit. No cold prudence for me. I am not born to sit still and do nothing. If I lose the game, it shall not be from not striving for it’, ‘Mansfield Park’, published 1814

Add a Regency twist to classic card games: an elegant 54-card deck with charming card suit illustrations inspired by characters from the six major novels of Jane Austen (1775-1817), and Austen herself as the ‘Joker’. Play ‘Patience’ with Miss Bates, ‘Cheat’ with George Wickham, and ‘Hearts’ with Mr Darcy. Includes a 34-page booklet to refresh your memory with brief character biographies and instructions to learn to play five popular Regency card games: ‘Casino’ for two to four players; ‘Commerce’ for three to ten people; ‘Whist’ for teams of two players; ‘Loo’, for groups of five players; and ‘Speculation’ for three or more players. The deck features 52 different character cards and two Austen Joker-cards, smartly presented in a co-ordinating lidded storage box.
