In Hey Yo: The Card Game to the Beat, players will play cards to a shared music chart so that you can ideally create solid rhythms and score points. The game comes with a small dedicated device that you can use to accompany the gameplay, with players needing to play a card when the music indicates this. If you can't play in time to the rhythm, you're penalized, so you must talk quickly to share information and pick which cards to play. (Alternatively, you may play music of your choice to set the rhythm of play for the game.)

Hey Yo comes with two identical decks of cards, so instead of playing a co-operative game with 2-5 players, you can have 4-10 players split into teams to compete against one another.
