Pros
- Take 5, Wavelength, Fake Artist in New York, Love Letter:Cthulu, Hot Streak,
- If you want to get a newer and easier game then try Hot Streak. It’s mascot racing and also rowdy fun.
- Hot streak is really really fun. Especially if you ham up the flipping of the cards to show where the mascots go. My group has been playing it to death and laughing so much and we are a group of players who likes all different types of g...

- Parent context: I can't imagine I'd like these "shuffle cards then auto play" games like Challengers, Tag Team, or Hot Streak (or really even Camel Up or Ready Set Bet), but they're super popular right now so I should probably try one. R...
Cons
- There's also Hot Streak, but that might be too similar to Camel Up! since it's also a betting game based on a race.

Hot streak is really really fun. Especially if you ham up the flipping of the cards to show where the mascots go. My group has been playing it to death and laughing so much and we are a group of players who likes all different types of games to each other but this one is really bringing us together in silly fun time.

Reply: I'd say it's much more unhinged, I don't ever recall a Camel in first place taking a tumble and being trampled and eliminated by other camels ;)
I can't think of a single Board Game that gets the visceral reaction Hot Streak does. It not only pays out on your race bets, it double down with howls of laughter and screams of despair/delight at the antics of the racers.

Hot Streak and Magical Athlete are chaotic racing games with only a few decisions but meant to give a lot of laughs.
