From the game document: Dance 'Til Dawn is a storytelling game that works best with four or more players (including the game master). The game master, hereafter called the DJ, thinks of a Scenario: - The DJ programs a station. - DJ determines the length of the Scenario. - DJ reads Scenario aloud to the players. - DJ distributes held singletons. - Music starts, beginning Act 1. Players draw tiles. - Second song starts, players bid for narrative control. - Narration continues, with exceptions User summary: Play requires some Scrabble tiles and a stripped deck of French playing cards (that are defaced prior to play). A programmable sound stream device also is needed.
