You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.
Setup
- Install the Hitster app on a smartphone, ideally connected to a speaker.
- Each player gets one song card, year side up: this starts their timeline.
How to play
- The active player scans the code of a new card; the app plays the song without showing anything.
- They place the card in their timeline, before, between or after their cards, according to the release year they guess.
- Flip the card: if it is in the right place, they keep it; otherwise it is discarded.
- Correctly naming the title and the artist earns a token, which can be used to skip a song or to challenge another player's placement.
Scoring
- Each correctly placed card adds one card to the timeline. The starting card counts.
End of the game
- The first player with ten cards in their timeline wins.
Frequently asked questions
Two songs from the same year?
A card from the same year as a neighbouring card is correctly placed, whether it goes before or after it.
