This is very timely for me as I spent last evening playing Obsession[1]- a board game based on courtship and prestige in (roughly) the era of Austen. They have a few specialized rule variations and one is named for Austen, in which the interest of the desired suitor is not revealed until the end of the season, mimicking the veiled intent of her characters. Definitely worth checking out if you have a long evening and a long attention span.
