Immersive game mechanics

A Day in the Life of a Young Lady

Every well-bred Miss aims to become the most prestigious of them all—without, of course, causing a Scandal. On your turn, you’ll use actions to visit neighborhood locations, purchase Dresses, study Disciplines, amass a Dowry, and improve your Decorum and Prestige.

Every Rumour hides a Scandal

Create a Scandal by playing Gossip cards to gain an advantage over your rivals! But beware—everything comes at a price… Any Gossip cards lingering in your Scandal pile will reduce your Prestige at the end of the game.

Unlock the Exclusive Mini-Expansion!

Reserve “A Lady’s Society Papers“ — an Exclusive Mini-Expansion limited set of elegant cards filled with intrigue, only available before the campaign begins.

Attend the Ball

Show off your finest dresses and fashion accessories! Being the most elegant young lady will let you choose first which Suitor to dance with—but it will also make you an easy target for the biting gossip your rivals will spread throughout the evening.

Spread Rumours

At the end of your turn, choose a Gossip card and exchange it with one from another Miss. Compare the value of the Gossip cards: if your rumour is the juicier one, play it immediately on your rival, forcing her to suffer its effects before discarding it into her Scandal pile.

Twists and Turns at Every Corner

It won’t be just your rivals’ sharp tongues testing your strategy: the harsh judgment of a dreaded noblewoman, being left at the altar, or running into the neighborhood’s old gossiper at precisely the wrong moment could undo all your careful plans!
