[Ad – Gifted Products] Sometimes, you find games that just feel themed for summer! Hoddog, from the creators of Sosig, just feels like a game you should have out at your next BBQ. This is a smaller boxed game, that we took along to our Monday night board game session at Geek Retreat, where you simply need to make the longest hot dog possible.
Hoddog is simply enough, everyone gets delt a hand of cards. Then, a row of cards are placed in the middle of the table along with a facedown deck of cards. On your turn, you can take two cards from the cards you can see from the middle or take three from the face down deck or play some cards from your hand. If you play cards from your hand, you will be connecting and moving a giant hot dog.
Placing down cards can only be done if you have a set. These individual cards have numbers on them and you need to have the right number of matching cards to play it. Think five cards with fives on them or seven with seven on them. The cards which have a one on them can be played as a one or, if you get five ones, as a set of five. They are the only set of cards that work differently.
In the facedown deck in the middle of the table there are Splat ketchup cards. Hoddog has you playing until all five splat cards are revealed, then the game ends instantly. Whoever has the longest hot dog is then declared the winner. The cards themselves are quite cute, creating some fun toppings on the hot dog pieces. Robin and Amelia very quickly understood the game and we were able to play a bunch of rounds, as it’s such a fast paced one.
I love games that move fast like this! It makes game night so much fun to do rounds and rounds.
The best games are usually the simplest, and this looks like a really fun one. I think we’d enjoy it.
This is so so cool. I love board games that encourage creativity and are fun to enjoy as a family. Hotdog is cool, love it.
This is such a unique game. It is nice to see a game like this that is so different from the average game. Very cute idea!
Looks like a good quick easy game. This is the type of game I’d like to have at home so we can take it out with us as it’s so small x
This looks like such a fun and family friendly game!! It’s going on my list for Xmas presents, love stuff like this
