MTV, The Throwback Music Party Game, based on the iconic network, is for music lovers of the 80s, 90s and beyond (but don’t worry, as long as you’ve heard of a few artists from these years you’ll be fine!). Open the throwback boombox, flip open the cassette player gameboard, and split into two teams. First, go head-to-head in the Quick-Fire Buzzer Round. One player from each team tries to think of a song to fit the description on the Head-to-Head category card (e.g. “Pop Anthems”) before the 15-second timer runs out, hitting the buzzer to throw the mic back to their opponent. The first person to run out of time loses this round. In the Artist Round, get ready to belt it out! Each player gets three Artist Cards and has 30 seconds to get their team to guess all the artists using one of three methods— using just one word; speaking the lyrics; or performing one of the artist’s songs. When a team gets one right, they add the card to their collection. The first team to grab a card from all eight categories wins and has the right to party like it’s 1999! -description from publisher
