Quotes (from this video)
  • Oh man, this game is wild and wacky and fun.
  • Hot Streak might be the silliest racing game of all of them.
  • But there's fun cheers. There's fun, you know, big memorable moments. There's those big table moments in the game.
  • Hot Streak plays up to eight and it's a game that I don't think I would play with like less than five or six, right? like you want those big emotional moments, people cheering, people booing, people getting mad. That's what makes the game fun.
  • This is a game that does a lot of things that I love in party games. One, it is clever. Two, I feel like I actually learned something in the game. Three, it's really social and it's fun when you get away with stuff.
  • And when you're the fox, you feel pretty clever. You're like, "Yeah, I did come up with a good answer there, didn't I?"
  • I love the the sort of thinky aspect of the game, but also the social aspect of the game that the it's a game that combines the thinky and the social really well.
