Pride and Prejudice

Each game is played over a 15 week period, where each turn represents 1 week. Each player creates a female character between the ages of 21–30, who is a poor but honest spinster. Their families have raised a sufficient sum of money for them to attend London high society for a 15-week period; they will attend one major social event weekly. Their goal is to earn an offer of marriage from one of the six available bachelors of varying degrees of wealth, or be banished to a life of loneliness or cheerless country marriage.

The player competes against various human and computer opponents. Each character has statistics in the essential characteristics of beauty, wit, ballroom dancing, equestrian ability, and musicianship. There are three levels of computer difficulty, and bachelors have an unknown level of appreciation of female abilities and inclination to marry, both of which must be overcome to achieve a marriage proposal.
