Hot Streak

The fun in this game is directly proportional to the fun you bring to it. You have a little knowledge that no one else knows – less than 5% of the deck? – and you bet on which of the 4 characters will win the race by taking betting chips which are ordered from best return to least. Or you can bet on an event happening or not. The race is run by going thru the shuffled communal deck. You have close to zero agency in the game except for a few gambles. Is it a game? For every player that’s prepared to ham it up and cheer a frenzy a la ‘My Fair Lady’ each time their horse, er, character moves along, increase the rating by a point. If you’re not up for concocting your own fun, there doesn’t seem to be much here.
