Description provided by Fun With Boxes on YouTube:

Welcome to Fun with Boxes, Episode 287: How to Play the delightful Board Game, Shall We Dance, Designed by Saashi and with glorious artwork by Takako Takarai, and published by Saashi & Saashi Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Shall We Dance! Your mission is to pair up the dancers and become an expert in certain styles. The game features seven colours of dancers, with each colour having half the cards for ladies and half for gentlemen. On your turn, you can play one to three cards of the same gender from either a colour you don’t have or just the colours you already have. If you can now pair a gentleman and lady of the same colour, do it! Then, for each colour you played, check if another player has a free card of the same colour and opposite gender. If they do, grab one and make a pair in front of you. The player who took the card gets 1-2 points from the reserve. To finish your turn, fill your hand back up to eight cards by drawing one to three cards, one from each stack. Once all the stacks are empty, the game is over, and each player reveals one more card to try and make a final pair. Score one point for each pair you have. Also, each player with the most cards in a colour gets three points, and the next player gets one point. The player with the highest score wins! I hope you enjoy Take care - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you like watching How to Play videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0oaXJZQ7_ZeOA3eynAymOPB If you like Unboxing videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0psAjTk16xH8eBLfsEi9-ti If you like Top 10 Lists: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0pE3ErGfWh0jVKok0LRDUoR If you like Board Game Conventions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0paLAFnx377jWXQlYTlqfGc - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RULES OF PLAY I am super thrilled that Rules of Play continue to offer my viewers a 10% discount at their online store.

About Shall We Dance, from BoardGameGeek:

Gentlemen and ladies take to the floor in Shall We Dance, with you trying to pair them off, in addition to specializing in certain types of dancers. The game contains seven colors of dancers, with each color having ladies on half that color's cards and gentlemen on the other half. On a turn, play 1-3 cards of the same gender of either a single color you don't have in front of you or only colors you already do have. In the latter case, if you can now pair a gentleman and lady of the same color, do so. Then for each color you played, if you have any "free" (i.e. unpaired) cards, see whether another player has a free card of the same color and opposite gender; if so, take one of these cards to create a pair in front of you, with the holder of the "stolen" card being compensated by 1-2 points from the reserve. To end your turn, refill your hand to eight cards by drawing 1-3 cards, one each from different stacks. When enough stacks have been depleted, the game ends, with each player revealing one more card to try to make a final pair. Score 1 point for each pair in front of you. Additionally, each player with the most cards in a color receives 3 points, with 1 point going to whoever has the next most cards. Whoever has the highest score wins.
