Description

Hip Hop Vocals is a card game that tests how well players know the lyrics to songs by reciting verses, describing its content, and explaining Hip Hop related terms.  However, players cannot mention a song’s hook or any forbidden words.   The cards are worth 1 to 5 points based on their level of difficulty.  Players have two minutes to get their teammates to guess the answer on as many cards as they can.  The first team to reach 50 points or the point total established at the beginning of the game wins.

Background

Communal Games designed Hip Hop Vocals due to an observation that the majority of gathering attended by Old School Hip hop fans eventually led to a jam session, or a heated discussion about the best MCs.  Since this generation proudly boasts that Old School Hip Hop is the genres ‘Golden Era’ due to its emphasis on lyrics, then lets see if they actually know the lyrics to the songs.

Features

• High Replay Value- Over 400 cards are included in the game, enabling players exposure to different cards each time played.  Since a card relies on each player’s distinct memory of a song, the result is a unique outcome every time played.

• Two Types of Cards:  The cards are split evenly between cards that must be recited and cards that must be described.  Players do not have to know the lyrics to each song in order to play. 

• Bonus Cards: There are 18 Bonus cards included in the game:  Double Points, Triple Points, Skip, and Choose MC.  The cards be strategically used throughout the game.

• All Skill Levels Can Play: Although the game targets specific time periods of music, game rules enable casual fans to play.  Players can exchange cards they are unfamiliar with for different cards before play.  Players can also opt to describe cards that are supposed to be recited for lesser points.

• Virtual Play- Hip Hop Vocals can be played with family and friends over digital platforms. One person would need to serve as the game host and distribute cards by text or email each round.
