Description
Create an instant party with HITSTER, the music card game of the century!
Listen to over 100 years of amazing hits, take turns arranging them in chronological order on your music timeline and create your trip down memory lane.
The first player to collect 10 hits is crowned the HITSTER
HITSTER is the perfect game for an evening with lots of laughing, singing, dancing and sharing memories. Simply open the box, scan a song card and let the music do the rest to create an instant party. So what are you waiting for?
How to play
1. Pick a music card and scan the QR code with the free Hitster app to automatically play it in Spotify
2. Guess when the song was released by placing it in the right position of your music timeline.
3. Flip the music card. If correct, you keep the music card to build your timeline.

The futher you are in building your timeline the more challenging it becomes. Your chances of winning increases if you can also name the artists and song titles.
- Are you craving to show of your music knowledge? Play HITSTER with the Pro rules or even Expert rules in which you have to know the exact year, artist and song title.

Quotes (from this video)
- My biggest takeaway from this game is that combat system I think it's super cool.
- The game itself has a lovely visual design the miniatures are are gorgeous looking it's very Charming artwork great table presence.
- I thought this was such a a fresh take on the co-op genre that I wanted to Le at least give it a try.
- I found that this game lacked a little bit of direction I think it would have been better if there was maybe round by round objectives or something you can try and go for to get some bonus points just to put you on the rails a little bit.
- All in all um again despite me objectively liking a lot of things that went on here I found the game a little bit too Meandering and a bit too plotting um and just like lacking that little bit of drive and that little sense of urgency that I would have liked to have seen.
- Stephen Feld kind of the polar opposite of Uve Rosenberg to me almost all of his games gel with me you know they fit like a glove because I tend to like the way that he thinks and Designs games.
- For such a complex game it is remarkably smooth and easy to play.
- This one lived up maybe even exceeded my expectations and is definitely one of my favorite games of the year and one of my favorite Stephen Feld games which is saying something.

- Viticulture I taught Viticulture I would play Viticulture Tuscany. It was great freaking love Viticulture.
- The White Castle absolute banger.

- YES. I DID NOT KNOW these things.
- There were multiple rules in like Pandemic we used to play wrong cuz we read the rulebook once a long time ago, but just never read it again.
- Someone in the comments is like looking at these cards Murph might be OP I'm like I don't know I don't know I don't think so I think we're I don't think they're that I don't think they're that great. I think we're fun and interesting but I don't think we're the strongest characters ever made.
- I love the theme of it a lot it looks really cool it looks really cool.

- And then they just redid it again. It's it's very confusing what they're doing with that.
- I really like Onirim. I really like Castellion.
