Hot Dog Run

Available as the toy prize in a children's meal at A&W Restaurants, Hot Dog Run is a simple matching game for 2 to 3 players. Each player begins with a set number of hot dogs (7 each for a 2-player game; 5 each for 3-player), and then starting with the youngest player (who places their first hot dog near the "start" space on the package) they alternate placing one hot dog at a time so that the symbol on one end matches the symbol on the end of the previously played hot dog. If a player cannot make a match, they must take a new hot dog from the draw pile and then may play it if it matches (if no match is found, that player's turn ends). The first player to run out of hot dogs wins.
