Hot Sauce Poker is a push-your-luck, bluffing card game where you make spicy decisions! How well can you read your family and friends? Can you outbid them? There's only one way to find out!

Hot Sauce Poker takes place over a series of rounds where players compete in the Hot Sauce Challenge. The first player to gain two victories is the winner.

In each round players start with five sauce cards from which they choose one to keep and pass the rest to the player on their left and repeat this process five times. Then each player chooses three cards they wish to use and places them face down in front of them (the two cards remaining in their hand will be used for their special abilities later). Players in turn state higher and higher challenges (how much heat they can consume) or pass. The player with the highest challenge then has to turn over five face-down cards belonging to any players. If the total heat level of these cards matches or exceeds their challenge value, they take a victory card, otherwise they failed and gain a penalty card.
