In 2009, Karen created Lots of Good Men, a whimsical matchmaking and storytelling card game for women. She travels the world, sharing her game with women who aspire to get married or strengthen their marriages.
Lots of Good Men is an imaginative and playful matchmaking card game designed for women of all ages. It serves as an effective icebreaker, conversation starter, and storytelling game, offering a delightful and whimsical experience while empowering women with a realistic perspective on dating.
The game is ideally played with 4-8 players but is versatile enough to accommodate anywhere from a single player to as many as 20 participants. It's a perfect fit for bridal showers, ladies’ night out events, or any gathering where fun games are enjoyed.
Karen Reed developed Lots of Good Men in 2009 after recognizing the deep desire many women have for marriage and the challenges they face in meeting the right partner.
Lots of Good Men is to women what fantasy football is to men. In the game, players embark on fantasy dates, get courted by prospective suitors, and await their "Mr. Right." The object of the game is to meet a mate and accept a marriage proposal. Unlike passively watching a romantic comedy, tuning into the Hallmark channel, or reading a romance novel, each player becomes the star of their own story.
During the game, players go on fantasy dates by drawing cards from six unique decks:
Players can decide to keep learning more about a suitor by drawing additional cards or reject the suitor and move on by returning him to the deck. This continues until all the Random Facts cards are drawn.
At the game’s finale, engaged players reveal their new fiancés to the group, sparking laughter, surprises, and plenty of memorable moments.
With over one million unique suitor combinations, the fun is truly in the cards. It’s always exciting to see which suitors are chosen and how the story unfolds!
