Interested in an easy to pick up and equally easy to teach game with multiple modes of play and a unique, new theme? Dance Card!, designed by Michael Melkonian and now on Kickstarter, might be just the ticket - a dancing game for 1-to-4 players where timing, positioning, and collecting your nerves will be the key to success, just like real dancing! Whether playing solo, competitively, or cooperatively, all players will try to dance well with their partners around the dance floor of Sackson High through the tension of die rolls. Your friends, your placement, and some smooth moves can help mitigate these rolls and lead to victory.

"You get to play as one of 32 unique students at the Sackson High homecoming dance, and you'll need to dance with all three of your partners to win the game. Whether you're an experienced gamer, or brand new to the hobby, Dance Card! offers tactical fun the whole family can enjoy."

Don't be fooled by the high school aesthetic and colorful art, there's a lot of refinement here that makes it more than just a modern, original theme that's new gamer friendly. It's deceptively simple, and that's the point - it's the draw of the theme and the ease of play that will bring it and your family & friends to the table and surprise everyone with variety and depth. The speed of play, combined with the wide assortment of characters and modes, means there's a lot of replay value and a reason to explore it game-after-game. A highlight of this golden era of board gaming is that recent designs have grown past tired themes of the previous decade and leveraged accessibility to bring fun and depth to a wider audience, and Dance Card! is a prime and excellent example of this.
