Read the full game description

Shall We Dance is a graceful set-collection card game about assembling dance pairs before the gala. On a turn, play one to three dancers of one gender, then claim an available dancer of the opposite gender in a matching color—even from another player, who receives compensation. Refill to eight cards and build toward scored pairs while preserving the colors that can win the end-of-round popularity majorities. Its clean tactical choices make the shifting ballroom easy to enter and surprisingly sharp.
