Hitcapacitor's Call The Tune

The music party game where players scan cards to play hit songs and place them in the correct chronological order on their personal timeline; the goal is to build an accurate sequence of hits from different decades, combining music knowledge, intuition, and a bit of luck, and the first player to correctly build a timeline of 10 songs wins.

Hitcapacitor's Music Bingo

A variation of traditional bingo where songs replace numbers: instead of calling numbers, a host plays short clips of music, and players mark their cards when they recognize a matching song title, artist, or genre; the objective is to complete a specific pattern—such as a line or full card—and call out “Bingo” to win, making it a fun mix of music knowledge, memory, and chance.

Game Rules of Hitcapacitor's Call The Tune

1. Set up the game: Give each player one starting card to begin a timeline. Shuffle the remaining cards into a face-down draw pile.
2. Draw and scan: On your turn, take the top card and scan the song clip. Do not reveal the year yet.
3. Place in your timeline: Decide where the track belongs between your existing cards, then place it face-down in that position.
4. Reveal and validate: Flip the card. If the release year fits correctly, keep it in your timeline. If not, remove it from your line and discard it.
5. Use challenge moments: If your group plays with challenge tokens, players may contest a placement before reveal. A correct challenge rewards the challenger; a failed challenge costs the token.
6. Win condition: The first player to build a correct timeline of 10 cards wins the round.

Optional party mode: play in teams, share one timeline per team, and alternate turns. This keeps larger groups moving quickly while keeping the same core rules.
