Gobgob has two left feet. Luckily, this dance is all cards.Lindyhop is a co-operative trick-taking card game for two, designed by Kiwis James Smeal and Mark Kaneko. It's inspired by the Lindy Hop, the swing dance born in African American communities in 1920s New York. Deal out the music cards to build a song, then play tricks as dance moves to work through it together, scoring points as you go. Every dance, try to beat your best score.Gobgob's favourite bit: Some cards have powers that only switch on during certain parts of the music, and you can't tell your partner what's in your hand. Run out of dance cards before the song ends and you score nothing. No pressure, dancers.👥 2 players  |  ⏱ 15–30 min  |  🎂 Ages 10+🛒 Grab it from Dice Goblin, online or in-store.🎥 New to it?
