WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HITSTER (SWEDISH TEXT) AND HITSTER (ENGLISH TEXT)?
HITSTER (Swedish text) contains the same great bulk of songs as HITSTER (English text), although about 30 songs have been replaced. In addition, the box, rules etc are in Swedish. It even comes with a fun fact for each song in Swedish. The two different versions are thus not primarily meant to expand on one another but rather appeal to different kinds of players.
