Bollywood Dance Off

INTRODUCTION

In my Game Design Class we were given the task of taking  the Famous Dance "Chaiya Chaiya" in the Bollywood movie "Dil Se" and make it into a party Dancing game. This seemed like a daunting task at first but after watching multiple videos of different Bollywood dance scenes we quickly came up with the idea of Bollywood Dance off. 

DESCRIPTION

Bollywood Dance Off is a territorial acquisition game where dance crew's battle it out to try take over the board.  

RULES FOR BOLLYWOOD DANCE OFF

Players

There are 2 types of players in Bollywood Dance Off (BDO) the first player type is Dance Master the dance master is responsible  for choosing the dance clips, the winners of the dance battles, and sometimes what kind of battle will occur. There has to be at least 1 Dance Master and no more than 3. The second player type is Crew member everyone who is not a dance master is a a crew member all the crew member must split up in to 2 -3 Crew's.

Preparation and Turn phase 

To start each Crew receives a set of colored stickers and a player token. Then the Crew's pick a starting point which are designated with a red dot.The youngest crew goes first followed by the crew on their right. The Crews take turns placing a sticker on one territory at a time until the board is filled

Turn Phase

1.      Move: You can move one territory at a time if you land on a unoccupied territory you must place a marker to claim it

2.       Battle: If you are beside a territory occupied by the opposing crew  you can battle them for it.

Territories

Blue Territory = Dance Master’s Choice

White Territory = Free Style Battle

Green Territory = Solo Battle

Orange Territory = Crew Battle

Battling

A battle occurs when a player or crew challenges another player or crew to a dance off for his/her or their territory. The challenging crew or person goes first in every dance off, the winner of the dance off is decided by the Dance Master. There are 4 types of battles DM’s choice, Free Style, Solo, and Crew.

·         Dance Master’s Choice: This type of battle occurs when you dance off for a Blue Territory the Dance Master gets to select what  the dance off is a free style, solo battle , or crew battle.

·         Free Style Battle:  Occurs when you dance off for a white territory, This is battle can either be a solo or crew battle which is decided by the Dance Master in a free style battle there is no time to prepare each person or crew only gets the chance to watch the dance clip and then they must dance off.

·         Solo Battle: Occurs when you dance off for a green territory each crew selects one dancer to represent them and the dancers selected face off each receiving 30 seconds to prepare a dance after they watched the clip.

·         Crew Battle: Occurs when you dance off for an orange territory. Each crew gets 1 minute after the clip to prepare their dance.

   INSPIRATION 

     When we found out we had to do a party dance game  we sat down and thought about  what makes a good a good dancing game what we came up with is two things that drive dance which are pride and competition when people dance competitively they feel like they are the best or their team is the best so we tried to make so the players feel that same intensity as competitive dancers by competiting against other crews over territories.

         RELATION TO CHAIYA CHAIYA

       Our game relates to chaiya chaiya because we made it so the crew's dance off by try to replicate dance from Bollywood movies which are famous for big elaborate dance scenes. Bollywood is the largest film industry in the world and is in Mumbai India so we made the board the map of India and you dance off across India
