Rules

How to Play

Preparation

• Decide if you’re playing in teams or individually.
• Each player/team receives 2 KHAMOOSH tokens and 1 music card which they place face up (date side up) in front of them to start their timeline.
• Choose a DJ. Players take turns being the DJ, and their role is to scan the card. The DJ can play along when using KHAMOOSH with a Spotify Premium account.

Gameplay

1. Scan: The DJ scans the card using the QR scanner here and follows the on-screen instructions. A song should start playing.
2. Place: The player to the left of the DJ positions the card face down (without peeking) in the correct spot on their timeline by placing it to the left, right or in between the other music cards in front of them, with the oldest song on their left.
3. Flip: If the music card is in the correct position, they get to keep the card. Otherwise, discard it unless another player has correctly placed a KHAMOOSH token (see KHAMOOSH tokens below). Cards of the same year can be in either order, even when that song was released earlier in that year. Now the DJ plays a new song and it’s the next player’s turn.
4. Win: Play continues to the left until one of the players has 10 cards correctly positioned in their timeline. That player is the winner of the game and can KHAMOOSH others!

What is a KHAMOOSH Token?

These are added into the mix for an even more exciting game. These tokens can be used in two different ways:

1. On your turn: Don’t know the song? Give away the KHAMOOSH token and scan the next card to start a new song and discard the token and the card into the box.
2. On an opponent’s turn: Think that the player has placed a card incorrectly on their timeline? Then shout “KHAMOOSH” before that card is revealed. Place one of your tokens on your opponent’s timeline where you think that the card should go. If you are correct, you get to steal that card. Place it in the correct position on your timeline. Discard any used tokens into the box.

Note: The first player to shout HITSTER gets to place their token first. However, if the next player to shout HITSTER thinks that answer is also incorrect, he/she can choose another position on their opponent’s timeline to try to steal the card. No two tokens can be placed on the same spot of the opponent’s timeline.

Earning the Right to KHAMOOSH

On your turn, you can earn 1 KHAMOOSH token if you can correctly name the song’s title and the artist’s name. A token can be earned even when misplacing that card on your timeline. No player can hold more than 5 tokens at any given time during the game.
