HITSTER
HITSTER scans physical song cards and starts supported Spotify music for timeline play.
Consider only with the physical card game
Chronological guessing and optional expert rules vary group play.
Keep in mind: Requires the HITSTER card game, a phone and internet; playback depends on Spotify/device compatibility. The app alone is not the full game or music license.
