About the Game

An elegant Victorian hand-management game where players restore a fallen family’s fortune through marriage and social climbing, building a deck of gentry, hiring domestic staff, and hosting fashionable events to climb Derbyshire’s high society.

My Thoughts

9/10

Beautifully integrates hand management with servant management in a thematic Victorian setting. Reputation management is crucial, balancing your reputation with the cards and improvements you need is where the real tension lives.
