Hot Streak Game Review

I don’t know what’s in the water at CMYK, but we should do a study. In the last two or so years, the publisher of Wavelength, The Fuzzies, Spots, Lacuna, Wilmot’s Warehouse, and the new edition of Quacks has evolved into an absolute powerhouse, firing out great, idiosyncratic games at a pace most publishers can only dream of. Every three or four months, an email arrives in my inbox asking if I’m interested in covering their newest flight of Quixotic fancy. The answer is always yes.

When the email includes photos of a hotdog mascot miniature, the answer is definitely yes.

Hot Streak is an easy sell. It’s vibrant, the board rolls out of the side of the box, and the four mascot minis look straight out of a late-90’s Nickelodeon original. It couldn’t be easier to play, either. You place bets in a snake draft, then sit back and watch the race. Cards are dealt off the top of the race deck, dictating the movement of each character.
