About Raas: A Dance of Love, from BoardGameGeek:
Step into Raas: A Dance of Love, a game on the dance style of Garba Raas where color, rhythm, and tradition come to life.
Raas is a dazzling folk dance from the Gujarat state in India. In this game of dice drafting and tableau building you will lead your dance academy to glory one dance at a time.
Recruit dancers, represented by colorful dice, where each color and pip shows off their style and rhythm. Collect stunning dresses, give your dancers dandiya sticks, and match the style of the song to create performances that shine!
The board consists of seven disks connected by a gear mechanism. Each disk has six dancers (dice) specializing in different tempos and styles of this energetic Gujarati dance form. Players draft dancers from the central dance floor to train their own personal dance troupe. Plan your moves to matchmake amongst the dancers to go up the love track and earn powerful bonuses.
Points can be scored by matching the tempo of the song each round, meeting devotion goals, outfitting your dance troupe with dresses and dandiya sticks, and ensuring that they are capable of the whole breadth of possible dance styles and tempos. Whoever creates the best dance troupe wins!
