Don't Look Ethyl! A Hot Streak Board Game Review

Hot Streak is a game about racing mascots and players...

Back in the 80s, my very first job was working at Six Flags – St. Louis. I quickly noticed that there was an inordinate amount of incredibly cute girls working as “Hostesses” who escorted the costumed mascots around the park. Eager for any chance to talk to a cute girl, I asked them “What exactly do you do?” They explained they lead the mascots around, since it was incredibly hard for the people inside the costumes to see anythingand that the mascots were constantly tripping and falling due to the bulk of the outfits. Hot Streak is not about hostesses or even the people who chose to “wear the fur” inside the costumes. Instead, you'll be channeling the dudes who used to stand around, smoke cigarettes and saying “Hey, I'll bet you a quarter that the guy in the squirrel suit slips in that vomit around the Tom's Twister. I'll Make it 50 cents if he takes a header over that six year old.”

Excellent review of an excellent game! Ran it with eight players and had read somewhere that the bidding tickets get scarce, so I added four additional tickets/chips. One for each of the racers, their image on a black poker chip that would pay out $20 if that racer came in last (4th place). Might have been too powerful as players were taking that chip and then tanking the racer. Small sample size of plays, but, $20 might be too much. This purchase lead to me grabbing Magical Athlete before all the hoopla and I hope that both will be getting more plays over the holidays.

Funniest game ever. At Trashfest we had 6 players plus a dozen spectators. And people definitely were yelling « F**king hot dog dude get the f**k up, god damn it! »

This just tickled me. I sent a link of the review to CMYK and they replied
"You wouldn't believe how much money Gobbler had on the Royals that season. Glad you enjoyed it. ☺️"
If you know, you know.
Maybe my ire at Hurley is misplaced.
