    • Use Live Together so every player can submit guesses on a smartphone.
    • The player with the most points wins.

    Already play HITSTER?

    You can use Bopster Live as a scanner while following the official HITSTER rules and placing your physical cards on a timeline. Read the official HITSTER rules.
