Satisfaction

Play your cards right and you’ll make the most advantageous matches in this fun Jane Austen-inspired twist on the classic card game, bridge.

Celebrate the world of Jane Austen with Satisfaction, an easy-to-learn game for ages 12+ with a bespoke deck of cards that feature characters and settings from Austen’s beloved novels. Win tricks to fill your dance card and try to successfully matchmake characters from Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and more!

Each round, players set a trump suit and then take turns playing cards, hoping to have the highest value on the table. Like in traditional bridge, the highest value wins the trick. But in Satisfaction you can also win points for successfully playing the matching romantic partner to a character already on the table. If Elizabeth Bennet has been played, another player can put down Mr. Darcy and earn both players an additional point. The player with the most tricks and successful romances at the end will win the game. But beware of bad suitors, meddlesome family members, and prying neighbors who may seek to undo your attempts to win.

With simple rules and a host of beloved characters from Austen’s novels, you’ll have the most delightful time at the county ball as everyone tries to demand Satisfaction.
