## Description

From the manufacturer Heat: Pedal to the Metal There's no prize for crossing the finish line in a pristine car, so... put your Pedal to the Metal! Based on simple and intuitive hand management, Heat puts players in the driver’s seat of intense car races in the 1960s. Selecting the right upgrades for your car will help you hug the curves and keep your engine cool enough to maintain top speeds. But ultimately your driving skills will be the key to victory! Play solo or with friends and experience the thrill of a single race, or use the Championship System to play a whole season in one game night, customizing your car before each race to claim the top spot of the podium.

Review: Easy to learn, fun to play - Excellent game and easy to understand why it won awards. Initially looks a bit daunting with all the cards and pieces in the box but after 2 turns is so simple to pick up and the game goes really fast. A racing game and moving a car along a track is a really simple concept to understand and pick up, so introducing this to first timers is fine. Ive played this multiple time with a local game group and its a been a big success. I will be purchasing the expansions soon.
Review: Everyone can enjoy it - I'm a big fan of board games, from simple party ones to very complicated strategic ones. HEAT is simple enough to learn even for players who are new to these deck-builder type games. However it also has a good amount of depth to allow for strategy which satisfies the geeks. In addition, you can pick and choose to make it more complicated by adding 'modules' such as weather effects, car upgrades and a longer championship mode with even more features. On top of that you can add in bots to be your opponents and play solo if you want. HEAT does a great job at capturing the intensity of a race through a board game medium. Once you know what you're doing the turns go by quickly. At first one race took and hour but soon I'm sure I can do a whole championship in 2 hours. If you're not sure if you'll like it, the answer is probably YES you will.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful game!
*by M***N on 13 August 2024*

Days of Wonder produce some great games, usually versions of Ticket to Ride which we enjoy. Therefore, when I read the reviews of Heat, Peddle to the Metal we had to buy it. It is a great game with lots of variations to keep it interesting such as 4 courses and the different upgrades for your cars and you can play with 6 players! It is a game they keeps you on the edge of you seat to the end and in one game the person in last place came past everyone on their last go to win! Few games are that gripping and exciting. If you like racing games this is fantastic and will bring out the competitive nature in everyone who plays it. There is even an expansion with two more courses and additional cars which should be fun!
