Red Hot Date With Rat Hot (in full… motion… video!!)
So I mentioned actually winning a game (for once) against Mrs. G. She wasn’t happy. So not happy that she immediately suggested we play Rat Hot, a nice simple abstract that is sort of a reverse Mah-Jong. A stacking, pairing, tile-placing extravaganza, quick enough to finish in the last minutes before Tanga flips at 10PM EST. ?
Did she win? Check out the goods below. Major props to Pottse for taking our hella boring video and giving it?Michael Bay-esque intensity!

Cute video — I found it via your Tanga posting. I might have to check out this game, is it two-player only? I’ve been playing Pecking Order as my two-player game lately, along with War & Sheep.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:11Yes it is. I don’t know how highly I recommend it. It’s fun but a little thin. I would definitely recommend the Catan card game over it, but obviously they are very different!
I am forwarding along your two mentions to Mrs. G. I passed over Pecking Order at Tanga twice now. (say _that_ two times fast!) Did I make a mistake?
September 20th, 2007 at 11:24You didn’t make a mistake, but Tanga did — they sent me two copies. 🙂 They let me keep the second one for free. If you cover postage, I’ll send you my spare. It’s unopened.
I played it a few times with my buddy last week. It is pretty fun, and I’ll do a full review on my own blog at some point. It was cheap — so I don’t consider it a waste of money — but it’s no Catan.
