Wherever it ends will cause some of the cards on the board to be discarded, giving you a chance to take over areas.
Hitting the Dropmix button brings up an on screen spinner. There are wild cards that can be played anywhere, special action cards that can change the rules a bit, and if things are going really far south.there's always the Dropmix button. Points are scored by laying down cards onto matching color squares and controlling the 5 card areas on the board. In Clash Mode, two teams of 1 or 2 players will square off against each other in a music fueled race to 21 points. The mode that gets most board game hobbyists intrigued is Clash Mode. It's not a terribly difficult game, as it's pure luck whether the team will have the right cards anyway, but there can be some yelling when 2-3 people all have a card, but none of them want to really play it because it’s the last card they may have. At any point your team can't play the proper card, the game ends. The biggest catch to this mode is that you don’t get to refill your hand until you successfully complete all challenges, and proceed to the next round. The faster the card is played, the more points the team gets. The app will ask for a certain type of card to be played. In Party Mode, players will work cooperatively to try and score as many points as possible. Plus, if you do find a mix you like, there's a small button on screen that will save your mix.
Not all of the mixes are good (I have yet to find a mix that sounds right with the vocals from "Chandelier") but it's a ton of fun to be able to play with music like this.
Plus you can do even more advanced things such as change the beats per minute and pitch shift the songs. There are literally thousands of ways to mix the cards around to create different mixes. Want to know what Carly Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" sounds like with the guitar line from Blink 182's "All the Small Things" while the drum line from Run - DMC's "It's Tricky" plays along? You can do it. You can just grab any card, and play it onto the proper space on the board, and let the music mix however it may. There are three modes in Dropmix: Freestyle, Party, and Clash.
Also, if you have a bluetooth speaker, you'll want to attach that as well. To ease the amount of time it takes to get started, I recommend downloading the app and music info the game requires ahead of time.
Gameplay: Dropmix is an electronic game that requires a phone or a tablet (iOS or Android is fine) and a free companion app. Does Dropmix make it to the top of the charts? Or is it a little flat? It does this with a revolutionary board that reads NFC chips embedded into playing cards. The idea is that Dropmix combines the strategy of a card game with the party-like atmosphere of a music rhythm game. Introduction/Overview: Dropmix is the Hot! New! game from the combined forces of Hasbro and Harmonix. MSRP: $99.99 (although several places are already discounting the base game heavily), Music packs to add more cards vary in price. Game Type: Real-time electronic music card game
