Board Game Reviews

Tom and Zee take a look at Blutentanz.

In Blütentanz, you want to dance your figures across the blossoms to reach your opponent's side of the field.

To set up the game, place the sixteen discs onto the game board at random; each disc features a blossom in the two player colors — orange and blue — as well as a neutral gray blossom.

On a turn, rotate all the tiles in a row or column 90º, with any player figures on those tiles rotating as well. Next, you have up to three movement points that you can use on 1-3 of your figures. Your five figures start off the edge of the game board, and by spending a movement point, you can place a figure on a gray blossom or a blossom of your color on the edge of the board. You can spend points to keep moving a figure orthogonally to gray blossoms or blossoms of your color.

Your goal is to move four of your five figures off the edge of the game board near your opponent. Whoever does this first wins.
