The box holds 308 music cards with QR codes on the back and 37 tokens; scanning a card with the app plays the song. The set draws on songs from the 1960s to 2026, chosen from Karaoke Pasela playback rankings, streaming counts, and interviews across generations. A round runs about 30 minutes, and the box lists ages 16 and up.","whyItMatters":"The 308-song set is filtered by what streaming services actually carry, so the game's version of anime song history is partly a licensing map rather than a settled canon.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eEach card front lists the singer, the year the song came out, the song title, and the work the song was used in, so the answer sits on the card the player is trying to place. Scanning the QR code on the back opens the HITSTER app, which needs iOS 17 or later, or Android 10.0 or later, plus a rear camera, a speaker, and an internet connection. Spotify serves roughly 30 seconds from the chorus; Apple Music serves about a minute and a half from the start or the chorus. The first player to collect 10 cards wins.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"HITSTER Anime Song ships 308 anime song cards and asks you to sort them by release year.
