The Rules
Components

• Team Speaker Bands & Team Color Bands
• The Best Playlist Ever - Corresponding music for each Moove and Groove card downloaded to players' iphones, ipods, etc. before play commences.
• There are two types of cards, both types have a music track number and ask pedestrians to help players cross the street by dancing with them to or like a specific move or person.
• Mooves Cards: Famous Dances (ie. the macarena, YMCA, conga line, electric slide)
• Grooves Cards: Famous individuals who are known for their dance moves (i.e. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Mc Hammer, Elvis)
• Referees - one for each team; they also act as people who cheer, take pictures or invite onlookers to join

Goal
Collect the most points by capturing the pedestrian light poles (corner bases) at the 4 corners of 42nd and 7th Ave in Times Square before your opponents do by getting passerbys to dance you across the street while the green pedestrian light is on.

Play
Two teams, each composed of 2-4 players, start at the same corner base. Mix the cards and deal each team 7 cards. Each team chooses a card, cues up the corresponding track on their ipod, and tries to get pedestrians to dance with them in that style across the street. Play continues in a clockwise manner. Teams may only use a card to cross a street one time. After the card has been used it is discarded (given to the referee).

Winning condition
The game ends when a team has crossed the street four times, reaching the starting corner base. The team who has the most points at the end of the game wins.

Scoring
Capturing a Corner Base = 2 points 1 additional point for each person that danced you across the street
