Hello, and welcome to an extra Wednesday dose of Wordy and Wheely, as promised. Well, not quite as promised, because it's been another very long and busy day and I don't quite have the energy for the longer post I'd been hoping to write. Theatrical thinkings must wait until tomorrow (again!). Sorry! However, my plans to offer you something less wheely and rather more wordy have not been entirely scuppered, as this week also brought with it my very own copy of The Jane Game - the bookish board game of my title.
What is The Jane Game, you ask? A trivia game based on the works of my beloved Jane Austen. The premise is fairly simple - each player chooses a heroine to represent (out of seven, as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood both merit inclusion, of course). Then you navigate your way through Regency society, and gain grace, accomplishments, and maybe even a marriage proposal (or righteous independence) by answering questions about the books. Since you couldn't really get more up my street, I backed the Kickstarter last year, and it's just arrived. I'm so excited - aside from anything else, it looks beautiful:

Now I just need to get some of my fellow Janeites together to play - over tea or chocolate, naturally!
MSt reunion game?
