Overview
from the rulebook: Pass the Hot Potatoes around the table using action cards. You can play seasonings onto the potato to make it huge, popping, or even flaming! If you can’t pass a potato away, it explodes and burns your hands! More potatoes arrive freshly baked each round, adding to the chaos. When all the potatoes have exploded, the player with the fewest burns wins...unless the player with the most burns can stir up enough sympathy to steal the victory!
