Ever want to write a love poem but don't know where to start? Poetical Endeavourments will help you with that! With categories to randomize poetic devices, you'll have challenging inspirations for writing someone you admire. No worries if you don't have a "fine stout love", you can make one up, write a love poem to someone you love platonically, or even to yourself! You deserve love poems too after all.  

This game was inspired by the above quote from Pride and Prejudice and the challenge to make something inspired by our game Scrolls of Exorcism. We used the basic mechanics of utilizing cards for suit prompts and added dice rolling for a new aspect here. 

Thanks to Fija Callaghan for a great list of poetic devices and examples for us to reference and refresh our memories with.
