About the game

Can you impress the lady enough to win her hand in marriage? Will you be the perfect choice, or will you take all her love and give nothing back? And on your turn to be the lady, will you find true love, or heart break? Lady's Choice is a light bluffing game about the ugly side of romance. Each card has a dandiness value. Some cards stop other cards from scoring. The cards that DO score (positive or negative) are totalled for a dandiness value of the gentleman. This is used to calculate the dandiness ranking. (Most Dandy, Second most, and so on.) The married gentleman gains points according to his rank. 1st? 1 point. 2nd? 2 points, and so on. Also an extra point if he's the worst. The lady gains points according to the reverse of her husband's rank. Worst? No points. Second worst? 1 point. Third worst? 2 points, and so on. Also an extra point if he's the best. Everyone gets to be the lady once and marry once. Once all players have been the lady, the game ends. Most points at the end wins.
