Vinyl

The British Invasion is an expansion that builds on the base game and introduces the Listening Booth and singles (45's). Historically, 45s were purchased to initially encourage buyers to purchase the accompanying LP album or even another album from the band. In British Invasion, players can acquire 45s by matching the band icon. Each 45 has an "A-side" with locked attributes that can be unlocked at the Listening Booth. At the Listening Booth, players discard a magazine card with one matching icon to flip the 45 to the "B side", granting the player more points and the chance to use the 45 to acquire LPs with similar properties in future rounds. British Invasion uses the same collectible rewards system (Pure, Mixed, Double Mixed) as the base game and further integrates with Top Shelf, Publisher Expansion, Clearance Bin or even Masters of Metal memorabilia!

The merchandise added value to the collector's collection. In Masters of Metal, players can acquire merchandise and add it to a collection. The merchandise increases the value of the collection. To add merchandise, they must be arranged so that the merchandise icons are next to the albums. The more albums and merchandise, the longer the collection.

Big Band is an expansion for Vinyl that builds on the base game and introduces the Window Display, Hits Chart and a new way to build collections. Historically, 78s and 33s were competing formats for sale at the record store. In BigBand, players focus on collecting albums from two genres: Swing and Jazz. Players get albums in two different speeds and with respect to those speeds, there are advantages to collecting 78s as they are worth a little more than the 33s. However, the 33s offer collectible powers to entice players to collect them instead. Furthermore, the rules for collecting albums have changed and how to match just the genres. However, players must visit the front counter to earn collectible rewards. To submit a collection, the player must represent each of four instruments in one genre. Depending on how many similarities there are in the attributes will determine what type of collection reward you will earn. Play continues until all albums have been placed in the store. The player with the most points is ultimately the winner.

In Vinyl: Holiday, players work on the best Christmas album. Each album contains a subgenre (classical, traditional and contemporary), one of the four decades (the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s) and one of the five spirits (joy, love, peace, hope and faith). Some of the points you earn are completely in your control from the matches you make with previously played albums. Other points come from the combined efforts of you and the players to your left and right. To further increase scoring chances, each player can sacrifice their hand of cards to complete attributes printed on each album's gift tags. Vinyl: Holiday Edition is a game you'll want to play all year round.

Vinyl: Jukebox is a simple two-player set-collection game in which players build a jukebox using 45s. These 45s span five genres, three decades, and have great songs on both the A and B sides. To collect these 45s, players must take coins from their bag and select one of two slots to insert the coin. The player continues until the desired match is made or their slot(s) are full of coins. When 45s are acquired, they are placed in a 3x3 grid next to their player board. When three 45's form a row or column, it is scored. As the player's pocket empties, the player may empty their coin box and earn two bonus coins. Note that at certain points in the game the player's opponent can take advantage of the player's decisions by getting free actions to put coins into their own player board. When a player has nine 45s, the end of the game is triggered. The players add their score from the score tokens obtained during the game plus the points from their personal goals. The player with the most points is the winner.
