Hot Streak

Each player starts with 10 units of money. Three betting cards are dealt face-down to each player, forming their hand. Additionally, 11 cards are dealt face-up onto the central field, creating a deck that will determine mascot movements. The game board is set up with mascots at the starting line and various betting areas for main bets and side bets.

The primary objective of Hot Streak is to be the player with the most money at the end of the game. This is achieved by strategically placing bets on which mascots will finish in certain positions and by making accurate predictions on various game events through side bets.

A round begins with players placing their main bets on mascots, choosing between a 'safe' or 'risky' side of their betting cards, which affects potential payouts. Then, players place side bets on a specific game event for the current round. After all bets are placed, cards are revealed one by one from the central deck. These cards dictate mascot movements (forward, backward, or sideways) and special actions. Once all cards are revealed, bets are resolved.

Players score money for correctly predicting mascot placements in their main bets, with higher payouts for riskier bets. Side bets are resolved based on the outcome of the game event for that round. In the third round, players must choose one of their two main bets to double, increasing both potential winnings and losses. Money is collected or paid out based on the results of all bets.

The game consists of three rounds. After the third round, all remaining money is tallied. The player who has accumulated the highest total amount of money is declared the winner. The game encourages strategic thinking, risk assessment, and adaptability to changing game conditions.
