Write or Die: The Romantic Period

From BoardGameGeek:

In Write or Die: The Romantic Period, players simultaneously draft cards to strategically build upon a budding writing career, fulfill personal bonus objectives, and remain in good health. Should a player die, they continue to play from the beyond but focus on cards available to the deceased. After each round, players recount the latest life update using the drafted hand for inspiration. With cards influenced by the lives of the great writers of the time-Jane Austen, William Wordsworth, Mary Shelley, Edgar Allen Poe-you forge your own path to write your name in the stars. With 108 unique cards, no two stories are ever the same. The player with the most successful career dead or alive by the end of three rounds wins the game. -description from the publisher
