"A board game,
born from a stack of vinyl"
At the start of the game, you blindly draw two genres — your hidden passion for this round. Nobody knows what you're collecting. And you don't know theirs.
Then the real hunt begins. You dig, buy, trade, bluff, attack — piecing your collection together bit by bit. But every purchase is out in the open. Remember, your strategy is your victory 👑
And chance decides the condition. Just like a real vinyl hunt, you don't know what a record holds until you take it in your hands — a dice roll decides whether you get a Mint copy or a beat-up Poor one. You can take a risk and upgrade yours, or attack and downgrade someone else's, but the risk always cuts both ways.
The winner isn't the luckiest one — it's whoever figures out everyone else's game first.
At the start of the round, you blindly draw two secret genres. That's your goal — and your secret. No one at the table knows what you're collecting.
Move around the board, buy, dig, trade, and attack. Every record comes in a random condition. Take risks, upgrade, mess with your rivals — but play smart.
Complete both secret genres before anyone else — or score the most points by the end. The winner is whoever figured out everyone else's game while keeping their own secret.
The Vinyl Hunter board is a circle of 12 sectors, like grooves on a record. Eight music genres and four special spots where the game is decided.
This game speaks your language. Mini records in sleeves, condition grades from Mint to Poor, the hunt for a rare first pressing. Here, vinyl isn't just a theme — it's in every detail. Looks great on a shelf next to your own collection.
You'll learn the rules in one round, and the first game hooks you right away. No board-game expertise required — the thrill of the hunt, the risk of the roll, and the mystery of "who's collecting what" are easy for anyone to grasp. Perfect for a night with family or friends.
Every record is a unique artist, a unique cover, released on Hunter Records.
The game has been through dozens of playtests in different cities — here's what it looks like in person.

Oleksii Vasyliev · Game Creator
I bought my first record before I even owned a turntable. I just wanted to feel closer to the music. Today my collection holds around 500 rare records — and picking a favorite is impossible.
The idea for the game was born at a record fair. I stepped back and just watched: people crowding around the crates, digging through them, and if you're standing at the wrong crate, someone else finds the treasure first. Once, a guy next to me pulled out, one after another, the exact records I was looking for. It stung. But in that moment it hit me: this is a real hunt. A ready-made game.
I'm a screenwriter and creative producer — I used to write comedy series. The principle is the same: craft a story where people feel good, excited, emotionally engaged. Dozens of playtests in different cities, endless polishing, cutting anything that didn't work.
I want people who love music and vinyl to come together and have a great time — to live through the whole range of emotions around one table.
