Okay we tried using the Spotify Premium version tonight and it didn’t give just 20 seconds and it always started at the beginning. I actually like the Free Spotify better if you have a DJ. Anyone else experience this?
@@jonsparks3152 Here we're actually enjoying the premium experience. We already had Spotify Premium, but knew about the free Spotify 20 second clip. However, we enjoy hearing the song from the start. It's great to recognize a song immediately after hearing just the first 2 seconds, just by the sound of a kick- and snaredrum or a bassline. Great partygame!
This is an amazing game and it has gone through the roof in Europe, where so many people have a premium Spotify account. With that, no DJ is needed and you can just listen and play. Great game!
Give this a try even if you think you know nothing about music. I introduced this to so many people who said "oooo music, that is not a game for me" and they just ended up enjoying it anyway. It's just fun to sit around in the group, listen to music a guess a little while doing so. And everybody can win this, even if you know nothing about music. Brilliant game.
For me, it definitely depends on the game when it comes to apps. Most of the time when I sit down to play a game I want to get away from technology because I spend all day staring at a computer and looking at my phone. So most of the time I don’t want to touch games that have apps. Something like this sounds fun and easy and less a shoe in and more necessary to the game. This one looks fun! Thanks for another amazing review DT!
You're absolutely right about spending time away from tech. But for me and my family, Hitster is the first game where the use of an app didn't bother us at all.
Glad this one is good. I was interested since I LOOOVVEEE music. I'm 37 and I love everything 50's-90's. Not so much after 2000. So I'm glad they cover a wide time frame.
This game is a huuuge hit in Europe since it came out in 2022! There are already a bunch of other versions/expansions out there, like "Guilty Pleasures", "Summer Party", etc. I wonder why it took them so long to bring it to the US 🤔
Dropmix is all but unplayable now because of the defunct app… I wonder how long Hitster will last. Perhaps the Spotify affiliation will give it some legs? I’m guessing that having to listen to Counting Crows might be a barrier of entry for some people too.
I'm not sure you actually need the Hitser app itself, i think the QR codes are just links to the song on spotify, so it will work as long as spotify doesn't change the structure of those links.
I totally get why you don't need an analogue rule set. What I don't get is, why do you need anything analogue? Jackbox. They could have/should have implement this as just an app. game. That's all it really is. The analogue stuff is just fluff.
True to some extend. To keep the product making money for the company is actually the curated sets of QR-code cards which must be used to build that timeline. On top of that, all players can instantly scan the timelines of other players on the table.
Interesting, they must have changed something (maybe Spotify did) because these days it does require a premium spotify account and it plays the entire song, not only a 20 second clip.
It could definitely look nicer, but it does enough else that is impressive, both technologically and getting conversations started around the table about music, that the minimal graphic design is not great but almost fades away.

If you use a premium Spotify account, then the app will not show the song title, so the DJ can guess also.
Oh, that's interesting! Thanks for the heads up.

I love this game. Have three different versions and yes we went through all the cards😂
Copyright strike incoming?
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

The real question is where do you actually buy this game?!
Target

Sounds fun
Too many ads in DT videos. Good to see Mike again tho!
What about songs that are from the same year?
If you place it on either side of a card from the same year, it's considered correct!
So its the musical version of the rottentomatoes games
And the best part is 20-second samples don't count as a "listen" on Spotify, so no one has to pay the artists!

I'm surprised!
But if you don't have Premium account so one of you is not playing. So who in NOT playing? You or you or you? What? Everybody wants to play? Now what?
I'm surprised this game is getting 8's scores. Nobody talked about the artwork, font type and size, whick look pretty boring to me.

Wow, this is a lot of time (22 minute review) and attention (3 reviewers) devoted to a very, very basic game. It looks fine.
