It’s super easy to play, just choose a music card, scan the QR code in the free Hitster app and listen to the song. Place the card where you think it sits in your music timeline. Flip the card over to reveal the year – if you’re correct, you keep the card to expand your timeline. The first player with 10 cards wins the game! Don’t be put off by the 16+ age recommendation – this is a game that gets everyone involved and is really good fun at family get togethers (particularly when playing in teams).
