About the Game
Hot Streak is a game for hard luck gamblers who love to bet on and scream at the racers, who in this case happen to be mascots who may (or may not) keep running in the right direction.

Reveal these cards to all players, after which players draft a betting ticket from those on display, then in reverse order draft a second bet. For each bet, you can play it safe &

Hot Streak
I was shouting myself hoarse during Hot Streak – this game turned our table into a mini stadium. It's an absolute blast with the right group; we were all cheering and laughing at the crazy twists in the mascot race. The theme is hilariously unique: betting on off-brand mascots with silly backstories is way more engaging to me than plain horses. Gameplay-wise, it's mostly light and chaotic: after placing our bets (even goofy side bets on crashes or comebacks), we just sit back and watch the chaos unfold. That said, there are a few clever twists: each player secretly slips a card into the race deck to influence events and you can choose safe vs risky bets, adding a small strategic sprinkle to the fun. The components really shine – chunky painted mascots and a huge roll-out track give it a big spectacle feel, though the price is a bit steep for a party game. Its chaos is basically a pure experience with very little control – great fun if you're in the right mindset (and with an enthusiastic crowd), but not the pick for a heavy strategy night. This one's a keeper for me.
