In Mix Tape: the Card Game, you are trying to make the best Mix Tape for one of your friends, and so are all the other players. What does your friend prefer? Short songs? Loud songs? Boy bands? And what do they really hate? Disco? Romantic songs? Marching Bands? Can you find the right songs to record? Do you spend your turn recording a song on your tape? Or do you spend your turn finding more music. Maybe you spend your turn trying to influence your friend so that they develop new preferences. Or do you investigate to find out what hidden preferences a friend has. For every LIKED preference you can match, you gain Victory Points, and for every DISLIKED preference you match, you lose Victory Points. The sooner you finish, the sooner you start gaining bonus VP. So time is also of the essence. Also, which friend will you give it too? There are two friends to choose and you can only give the Mix Tape to one of them. —description from the designer
