Raas: A Dance of Love (2026)

About this game

Assemble the best dance troupe by drafting dancers as they spin around the dance floor. Raas is a light-medium competitive strategy game for 1-6 players. The 'board' consists of a set of 7 discs, connected with an intricate gear mechanism. Each disc has 6 dice as 'dancers’ specialising in different tempos and styles of this energetic Gujarati dance form. Players draft dancers from the central dance floor to train up 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 sponsors’ requirements, outfitting your dance troupe and ensuring that they are capable of the whole breadth of possible dance styles and tempos. The winner is the player with the highest score at the end, representing having the best dance troupe.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
