I Made You a Mixtape is a board game released in 2025 for 1–4 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Dan Hughes and Mike DiLisio and its main mechanics are Set Collection and I Cut, You Choose.
It’s the early 90s. Baggy jeans and flannel shirts reign supreme, and the unmistakable sound of dial-up internet fills the air. Dan DiLisio, the coolest kid in your neighborhood, is heading off to University, and is letting you and your school friends raid his beloved music collection before he goes. In return he’s asked you to make him a mixtape for his road trip up to college. To make things more interesting he's said that the kid who makes the best tape will win his Quantum Leap poster signed by Scott Bakula. Man, you really want that poster… “I Made You a Mixtape” is a I-split-you-choose card game where you will be competing with the other players to make the best compilation possible out of an album collection. Your tape will be judged on how well it’s themed, how the tracks flow with each other, and the balance of lengths between side A and side B. -description from designer
