I’m co-founder and literary board game producer at Veldi Games.
Bringing all your favourite Jane Austen characters to life, in Polite Society: The Jane Austen Board Game players compete to collect guests to complete their ultimate dinner party table.
From Elizabeth Bennet to Emma Woodhouse, every Janeite can welcome their much-loved heroines, heroes, unwanted suitors and overbearing relatives to their dining table using societal assets - wit, wealth, heart and beauty.
The better the seat at the table, the more likely the character will generate assets each turn. The first player to complete their dining table wins. Each of the 216 cards has a unique quote from one of Jane Austen's works - Emma, Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice, Lady Susan, and Sense and Sensibility - or from Jane's personal letters. Polite Society is a board game for lovers of literature and simply lovers of games.
Our second print run is now sold out! Deluxe second edition coming soon.

In Wuthering: The Brontë Sisters Board Game, players compete to write the best novel, inspired by the themes of the iconic novels by Anne, Charlotte and Emily Brontë. You write the best novel by creating the highest scoring storylines, getting bonus points for artful combinations of thematic cards.
In the end, you’ll be judged on your worst performing storyline, so make sure you’re getting the most amount of points for each of your three storylines as you can! Summon up your inner Brontë, wander the moors and get inspired.
The game features original linocut artwork from Rosanna Reade, inspired by the following novels by the Brontë sisters: Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Wuthering Heights.
