The Hitster Music Bingo™ board game from the Jumbo Group is a music-themed take on the classic pastime that will get players from any generation involved in the action. The game is suited for players aged 16 and up, and ideal for groups of two to 10 where participants will put their music knowledge to the test by spinning the disco ball to reveal a category. The player will then scan a track and race to identify everything about it including the artist, decade, year or general era.
The Hitster Music Bingo™ board game offers 225 songs from many decades to work well for younger and older participants alike. The game is arriving now as a Walmart exclusive online for $29.97 and will head in-store this August.
