Description
Extravaganza is a strategic lip-sync battle board game for 2-4 drag queens. The game plays out over a single song made of lyric tokens; players bedazzle by drawing rhinestones, move queen-piece style, and draw cards to win over five judges who each evaluate a random dance category.

Quotes (from this video)
- hello everybody my name is ilya and my name is tyler together we make up calvary a couple that loves to play board games and loves drag queens we sure do
- this is extravaganza
- in extravaganza you'll take a roll of a drag queen and you'll be lip-syncing against the other drag queens in order to win by having the most star quality
- well a merit preview is where we're going to break down the game into five different categories we're going to talk about the memorability the education the replayability the imagination and finally the target
- there's no other game i haven't really seen a lot of other games that involve drag queens or drag culture in them
- because it's about drag culture and or elements of drag culture because it is much more than just lip syncing um it it brings in that almost curiosity to say hey like i'm kind of interested in this drag queen space
- dragon itself is such an amazing art form and this is just a small window into the vast landscape of what it is
- this game flows so beautifully together and everything influences each other
- you actually only collect the gem of the color that you land on and any of them that you pass through so you're not collecting every single gem you pass through and that's something that adds a little bit of a twist to it
- it adds different modules it adds different categories it adds different characters and you can like build your game up
- the way the categories interact with each other so there's ten different categories but you'll only see five on the board at a time so already there's a bunch of different combinations of categories that can show up
- they've managed to incorporate it in almost like every piece and every component and it's just like it's very comforting it feels very um well thought out and also like submersive
- this is a way to really put on a performance and really show that you are the best lip syncer
- this game is a light to medium game there's a few mechanics going on but they flow quite well into each other and it's pretty simple to explain
- board games are for everybody
- what is your lip sync go to song not karaoke no one that you lip-sync to maybe because you just can't hit those high notes

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — Utilizing the gems you've collected pleasing the judges in a variety of ways and at last but certainly not least using those lip tokens in order to fulfill the lyrics.
- Card Drafting — picking cards and collecting the right resources.
- Modular — Other than the base game, you can add special abilities for all the drag queens, judges' desires which they may have different things they want you to do, and different combinations of categories that can show up on the board.
- Movement — you don't want to pass other queens you want to end and pass through similar gems... you actually only collect the gem of the color that you land on and any of them that you pass through so you're not collecting every single gem you pass through.
- Set Collection — From the set collection of gems and how the queen moves because it's very strategic... you want to collect then move and try to open up spaces.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- bedazzle — fill empty spaces with rhinestones around your drag queen on the stage
- Draw a card — choose a category card; pay attention to the rhinestone and category to gain lip tokens; cards accumulate with rhinestones for tokens
- end of round and end scoring — the game ends when the checkered flag space is revealed; then scoring uses categories, diversity, and tens from judges
- lip tokens and lyric tokens — claim lyric tokens by spending lip tokens; tokens are claimed left-to-right; token cost equals number of lyrics on the card; tokens contribute to lyric diversity and star quality
- lyric diversity — score points for diversity of lyric tokens collected across categories
- modules — modules add queen powers, judge desires, and reveal cards with added scoring and abilities
- Move — move your drag queen in any direction any number of spaces, collecting rhinestones on the spaces you pass through and on the destination; you cannot land on another queen's space; moving costs a rhinestone if you pass through or land on occupied spaces
- play a dance move — spend a pair of the same rhinestones to perform a dance move; some cards allow spending multiple pairs for more points; if missing, discard cards to make up rhinestones
- Roll/Spin to Move — spend a pair of the same rhinestones to perform a dance move; some cards allow spending multiple pairs for more points; if missing, discard cards to make up rhinestones
- scoring via stages and spaces — score points based on empty spaces on the stage; more points for spending multiple rhinestones on multiple sets
