Watch “Bonnets, Bustles, and Boots — a quick card game for 3 players with a theme of Victorian fashion.,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

A card game specifically designed for courting couples and their chaperone. ...their what? The idea for this original NewVenture card game comes from the late Victorian-era practice of courting couples always have a mature third person with them. This third party would ensure that nothing "unacceptable" wouls transpire between the amorous couple during their time together. Three-player parlor games offered way to acknowledge the chaperone's presence without offence, and still have a little fun. The game itself is a blind-bidding game in which players use their cards to try to win "Fan" cards (another essential fashion accessory of the period). These Fan cards are not only the players' score, but may be sacrificed to win still more Fan cards. (You don't have to be a courting couple to play BB&B — just three folks with a few minutes to play a quick card game.) You can get your own copy of "Bonnets, Bustles, and Boots" here: https://newventuregames.com/products/bonnets-bustles-and-boots/ As always, thanks for watching! I hope you will subscribe and become a frequent visitor to the channel.

Bonnets, Bustles, and Boots

About Bonnets, Bustles, and Boots, from BoardGameGeek:

In the late 19th century, families and friends would gather in their parlors to play games. It was an aspect of their social life and a stage for the strict etiquette of the day. This three-handed card game would have been perfect for the Victorian courting sensibilities, played by a young couple and their chaperone. By playing your cards carefully you will gain cards that will contribute to your final score. However, you can decide to use a scoring card to win a different (and perhaps better) card. A very light, unique game for three that can be played almost anywhere by anyone, depicting the latest fashions of the 1880s. Remember the "good old days." -description from the designer
