Afterwork Session: Hot Streak and Camel Up!
Details
We're going to play two games about gambling:
Hot Streak (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/446497/hot-streak) is a sophisticated game of manipulating odds, judging calculated bets and resolving complex... ah, who are we kidding? It's a game where we all crowd round and scream at stupid oversized mascots as they blunder along a racetrack, bumping into each other, falling over, and generally getting confused. Strike it lucky, go home fabulously wealthy, then come back tomorrow and lose it all again.
Camel Up (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/153938/camel-up) is a game about camels. As everyone knows, camels tesselate; so if two or more of them stand too close together, they inevitably end up stacked vertically, and as a result they can all run faster. This curious evolutionary adaptation inspired Camel Up, in which players try in vain to predict which camel will win a race, which will lose, and which will stop to pose for the best photo.
