Lion Dancer is a competitive and strategic game for 1-4 players that combines grid movement, set collection, and push-your-luck mechanics in a 30-60 minute experience. Inspired by the traditional Asian dance where performers mimic a lion's movements to bring good luck, players will compete to deliver the best dance routine. Collect valuable items, navigate the pillars, and reach the lettuce to complete your performance. But be careful—one wrong move could send you tumbling, losing your hard-earned items. Who will rise to the top and deliver the ultimate Lion Dance performance?
