Hello Marjolaine and welcome to My Jane
Austen Book Club. A Match Made in Austen is the new card game you created for
Renaissance Press, which will be released on 10th September. Can you
briefly tell us what kind of game it is?
A Match Made in Austen is a
storytelling card game. People draw six cards, three representing male
characters and three representing female characters, they improvise some event
