Dancing Dice (2004)

About this game

Players are contestants in a dancing marathon. Each turn they roll their dice and arrange them into two sequences of three dice (with one re-roll to try to change unwanted dice into something else). These sequences are then compared to those of everyone else. Higher difficulty dances (sequences) like the Tango or Tap Dance impress the judges. Less accomplished dancers move down in ranking. If they hit the bottom of the chart, they are out of the game. Certain sequences also convey special abilities such as not having to move down in ranking even if you are "out danced" by your competition. The last dancer still standing wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
