Listen to over 100 years of music hits and take turns guessing when they were released. You don´t need to know the exact year, only if they were released before or after other songs. Your chances of winning increases if you can also name the artists and song titles.
The first player to arrange 10 hits in chronological order wins the game and earns the title HITSTER.
1. Choose a DJ.
2. Decide if you’re playing in teams or individually.
3. Draw 1 music card and 3 HITSTER cards each and place them in front of you face up.

The player to the left of the DJ starts. He/she guesses when the song* was released** by placing the music card to the left/right of the music cards in front of him/her.
Flip the music card to see if the player was correct. If so, the player keeps the music card, otherwise the card is lost. Now the DJ plays a new song and it´s the next players turn.
* Definition of song version: The version of the song that you hear playing.
Please note that the original recording of a song might not be available on all music streaming services. If that is the case, the year we are seeking is still the year that artist first released that song. In addition, sometimes songs have been remastered and the original song is no longer available. On such occasion, it is the original song release year that we are looking for, not the year it was remastered.
** Definition of year: The year the song was first digitally (download or stream) or physically (single or album) available to the public on any market.
Is the song too hard? Play a HITSTER card and the DJ will play you a new song. A used HITSTER card is expended.
Do you suspect that the player has misplaced a music card? Before the music card is flipped, place a HITSTER card on the players array of music cards in the position you think is correct. If you were right, put the music card on the correct position on your own array of music cards. A used HITSTER card is expended. Only one challenge per possible card position.
Trade 3 HITSTER cards for 1 music card and place it on your array of music cards (you don´t need to guess the year to earn it).
You get a new HITSTER card if you, on your turn can name the correct artist and song title.
The first player to get 10 hits in chronological order wins the game and earns the title HITSTER. Good luck!

Do you suspect that the player has misplaced the music card or guessed the wrong artist name or song title? Play a HITSTER card in what you believe to be the correct music card position and take your own guess at artist name and song title before the music card is flipped.
