Bollywood Dance Party Extreme!!

Chaiyya Chaiyya Dance Scene in Dil Se!

For third and final prototype, we were tasked with creating a new and innovative game centered around the Bollywood dance scene.  Although it seemed like a pretty straightforward task, we had to make this a game that had the players get up and physically dance along with the game! Suddenly, this easy assignment didn't seem as easy.  My group and I took a lot of time determining the best way to get the user up and moving, while still keeping the Bollywood essence that Dil Se portrayed so amazingly.  If we were to portray the Bollywood feel through our game, we decided that we would need up beat music and constant movement that kept the player coming back for more.  After many hours of planning and tweaking our game, we created Bollywood Dance Party Extreme!

Our final Game Board!

Not only does our game include dance moves from the song Chaiyya Chaiyya, it also includes moves from other famous films such as Slumdog Millionaire!

Even Jamal can't stay away from BDPE!

To allow our game to function properly, we payed very close attention to the rules and how the scoring system for the players would work.  We made sure to make things even, while still entertaining the players.

Setup

-  To begin a new game of Chaiyya Chaiyya Party Extreme, both the Easy Dance Deck and the Hard Dance Deck must be shuffled separate from each other.

-  From here, the easy deck and the hard deck are placed on the game board inside their designated areas

-  Determining which player goes first is simple.  The owner of the game goes first and then determines the order for the game.

Game Play

-  The Gameplay phase begins when the first player picks up either an Easy or Hard Dance Card

-  After choosing their card, the player will read off the card details to the other players of the game

-  On each card are three details: The Song Indicator, The Dance Move, and the Score Modifier

-  After the details have been revealed to the other players, the dancing player must find their corresponding dance move in the dance list

-  The player will be able to view the dance move twice before they are allowed their one chance to complete three consecutive repetitions of the move.  Dancing will be completed with the three songs provided.

-  The other players will judge whether the player has completed their move successfully

-  If the move was completed, the player gets to corresponding score and they keep add that dance card to their hand. If the move was not completed, the card is inserted back in the deck

-  Each player may only have a maximum of four cards in their hand at one time. The player may pick up a Dance Card and perform for their score however, they must discard before a new card can be added to their hand

-  Whenever a player has more than one card in their hand, they may attempt a Combo Dance!  This means that the player may try and perform all of their dances in one performance to earn all of the score modifiers combined! 

-  To win, a player must reach a score of 1000 points, or a player can win through the Special Combo Dance.  A Special Combo Dance is when the players four cards are all from the same Song Indicator.  If the is able to complete the Special Combo Dance for the duration of the songs provided!

Although this was a very challenging prototype, it really made my group and I think outside of our comfort zones.  I feel as though we accomplished that and made one of our best games yet.  Have fun playing!
