A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Damsel's Gambit is a dating sim in reverse; you’ll step into the shoes of Princess Penelope, a medieval princess who does not wish to be wed, and outplay the suitors eager to win your hand!

Play your Cards Right

During the date with your suitor, you'll play Action and Topic cards to guide the conversation, gain information and affect his opinion of you. Play your cards wrong and you may find yourself stuck in a loveless marriage or at war with his kingdom!

Available to play on Linux, Windows, and MacOS!
