About the game

Hot Potato is the picnic game everybody knows. Four animals sit around a blanket and toss a potato with a hidden fuse; whoever is holding it when it bursts is out, and the last one sitting wins. You catch with a tap as it flies in and throw with a swipe to the left, to the right or across the blanket.

The tricks make it. A potato that bursts in mid-air lands on its target, so a long throw across the blanket in the last second is a weapon. Rivals bluff, too: they wind up and point at one player but throw at another, and only their eyes give the real target away. Grab too early and you flinch. Play the 24-table ladder alone, or pick 2 to 4 players and share one screen, each player using the corner near their seat.
