Full disclosure: A review copy of Cinderella's Dance was provided by Big Cat Games.
If there's one type of review I always love writing, it's a review of some of the doujin games that Ayako's been sending me from the Big Cat Games camp. There are a ton of excellent games coming stateside and Ayako is doing a fantastic job on her end with translation and promotion and selling of it all. Plus, she's just a fantastic person, so, that's all great. I've got a lot of doujin games around the house that I've been meaning to get to, but they pose their own challenges for my game groups, so it's a bit slow going. Expect to see more of them in the new year, however. I'm working on it. In the meantime, let's talk about Cinderella's Dance!
In Cinderella's Dance, players perform a bit of a dance of their own. On one level, they're dancing back and forth as they play cards, staying close but trying to consistently pull a bit farther away. On a more meta level, the game itself is dancing around the very concept of trick-taking. Does it count? Well, I find taxonomical arguments a bit irritating, so I'm going to say yes preemptively and just ignore any evidence to the contrary. It's better for my skin. But, like any other dance, there can only be one winner. Will it be you?
