• Everyone gets 1 vote card.

• Shuffle the song card deck and give each player 20 song cards.

• Keep your cards secret—don’t let anyone know your cards until Step 6!

• Look at your 20 song cards and choose your 10 favourites.

• Put the 10 you don’t want back into the deck.

• If there are 6 players, make a deck with all the unwanted cards from each player (you’ll need it later in Step 8).

• From your 10 cards, pick 1 song you think everyone will love.

• Put it face down on the table (or wherever surface you’re playing on).

• Once everyone has put down a card, shuffle the cards so no one knows who submitted what card.

• Flip them over and lay them out side by side. Don’t say which one’s yours yet!

• Scan the QR code on each song card with your phone and play the songs one by one.

• After hearing them all, everyone picks the song they think is the worst (one they’d least likely add to their playlist).

• Vote by putting your vote card underneath that song. (You can’t vote for your own song!)

• When every player has voted, count the votes:

  • The song(s) with the most votes is the worst.

  • The song(s) with the fewest votes is the best.

• Each player should give their reason for their vote

• Now players can tell everyone which card was theirs and chat about why they submitted it.

• Add up the votes each player got. For example, if your song got 2 votes, your score is 2.

​

Scan the QR code on the bottom of the deck box or visit www.playlistconnoisseur.com/votetally to keep track of scores.

• After voting, everyone should have 9 cards left. Players must keep the card they submitted in the round separate from the cards in their hand. Cards cannot be submitted for voting twice. That’s the end of the first round!

• Players get a chance to improve their playlist, therefore increasing their chances of winning the game.

• Shuffle the deck and deal 1 new song card to each player.

• Check out the new card:

  • Keep it and toss one of your old cards back to the deck, OR

  • Toss the new card back and stick with what you’ve got.

• When everyone’s decided, shuffle the deck again. Everyone should have 9 cards.

• Start Round 2 by going back to Step 3 and doing it all again (Steps 3-8).

• Play 10 rounds total.

• At the end, the player with the lowest score wins—they’re the Playlist Connoisseur! Their song picks rocked.

• The player with the highest score loses—they picked the weakest playlist.

• To have the most fun in this game, make sure to vote honestly for the songs you least prefer to have on your personal playlist. Don’t try to vote against songs just to win—that’s not the point! The game is all about finding out who can make the best playlist with the songs they’re given, so play fair and enjoy discovering everyone's opinions on what they consider to be a great playlist!
