Description
Hot Streak is a game for unlucky players who enjoy betting and yelling at runners, who in this case happen to be mascots that may (or may not) keep running in the right direction.
At the start of the game, prepare the deck of racing cards with one card for each mascot and a random number of cards based on the number of players. Reveal these cards to all players, then draw a betting slip from those displayed, then, in reverse order, draw a second bet. For each bet, you can play it safe or risk it, which could pay off more, or lose you money. After betting, each player chooses one of the three cards in their hand to secretly add to the deck of racing cards.
Shuffle the deck, burn three cards, then reveal the cards one by one, moving the mascots along the track. Sometimes they can veer off the track and knock over another rider, sometimes turn around, sometimes all move at once, and sometimes just move backward! If a rider goes off the track or is in danger of being knocked over after they've already fallen, they're disqualified. If necessary, shuffle all the cards in the deck, burn three more cards, and continue racing until all four podium places are filled. Bets are settled based on these results.
For races 2 and 3, first deal each player a random card, then place bets again, and then have each player contribute a card from their hand to the game. After race 3, everyone counts their money.
