Spin your way into the hearts of fans as you battle to become an iconic DJ! DJ Icon is a board game for casual gamers and hobby enthusiasts alike. Featuring a rotating record and an intuitive card system, players rotate the record, their opponents, fans and themselves in a battle to win the best set of fans. While easy enough for those who are unfamiliar to the new age of board games to pick up, DJ Icon also features variations that create deeper gameplay for those who want more of a challenge. DJ Icon is for 2-8 players, takes 30-70 minutes to play depending on player count and launched on Kickstarter on 10/14/25.
DJ Icon has 3 videos from 3 creators: 2 how-to-play guides and 1 playthrough. They date from August to October 2025.
