Description
In On Pointe players advance as a professional dancer would, from learning the basic ballet moves, mastering rehearsals, performing on stage, competing to become Prima Ballerina and accepting their bouquet at curtain call.
A competitive game of light strategy and set collection with a race down the board, avoiding obstacles and outmanoeuvring your opponents, but being first to collect your bouquet doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll win – it’s all about the points that you collect along the way.
Experience the life of a ballet dancer, from the Barre to a Star. Know your positions, use the right moves: collect gems; treasures; and the tiara. A game that will keep you on your toes.

My daughter is a ballet dancer, so I thought I’d give this a try. Another male, adult gamer friend of mine tried it with me and we had fun! We played pretty cutthroat tactically. The art is wonderful and from what I know about ballet from my daughter, there is some real knowledge of the dance behind this game.

Behind On Pointe there is a surprising level of depth and strategy. The game is fun, elegant and competitive – all things that embody the discipline of ballet
James Staley –
As a father of 2 girls who are both competitive dancers, I can say that On Pointe is fun, engaging and allows the imagination to run wild. The mechanics of the game are unique and contain enough variety for many hours of game play.

I disagree that this game is only for girls I’m a grown man and I want to play it.

The mechanics look simple enough for kids to play, but interesting enough that adults could still get some strategic play.
Brittany Maia –
On Pointe is without doubt, family-friendly and easy to learn and there’s still a challenge here is that’s how you want to play it.
Jessica Elias –
ON Pointe is well anchored in its theme, capturing the essential steps in the journey of a dancer with grace as well as strategy and tactics.
Naomi Laeuchli –
Unique theme, good player interaction, fun game board and movement system is clever. The game is a refreshingly original theme that you don’t see that often in board games
Jennifer Bartlett –
If you’re looking for that perfect gift for the child in your life or someone that you know that is a ballet enthusiast, I would highly recommend this. The art direction and graphic design is really on pointe and I think the game is really great. The movement cards really embrace the theme and the rule book is very clear and probably one of the best that I’ve seen in a long time. If you’ve never played a modern board game before, you will really enjoy this.
George Jaros –
The theme, artwork, and gameplay really brought the ballet home! If you have a dancer in the family this is definitely a game for you, and even if you don’t have dancers at home this is still a very solid family game.
