Game introduction

A little about the game

Hot Potato adds a hidden countdown to a fast category word game. Nobody knows exactly when the bomb will go off, so even an easy topic feels urgent.

When to play

Pick it when your group wants a noisy, energetic party game rather than a long explanation or a serious quiz.
