Description

Dance of Ibexes is a fun and quirky board game that challenges players to strategically place their numbered tiles on the game board without getting pushed over the edge. Designed by Wolfgang Kramer and first released in 2004, this game is simple to learn but offers plenty of depth for players to explore. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, it's perfect for a quick game night with friends or family, and can be enjoyed by a large group of 2 to 8 players. The game is all about hand management, as players start with a random assortment of numbered tiles and must carefully select which ones to play each round. The goal is to place tiles in the right rows to score points, while avoiding negative spaces and "Happy Cow" symbols that can penalize you. As players progress through the game, they can purchase new tiles to add to their hand, and must navigate the challenges of double play spaces and revealed tile choices. With its unique blend of strategy and humor, Dance of Ibexes is a game that will keep you on your toes and leave you laughing. The player with the fewest points at the end of the game is declared the winner, so it's all about finding the right balance between risk and reward.
