.newspaper {column-count: 2;}Based on simple and intuitive hand management, Heat: Pedal to the Metal puts players in the driver's seat of intense car races, jockeying for position to cross the finish line first, while managing their car's speed if they don't want to overheat. Selecting the right upgrades for their car will help them hug the curves and keep their engine cool enough to maintain top speeds. Ultimately, their driving skills will be the key to victory!Drivers can compete in a single race or use the "Championship System" to play a whole season in one game night, customizing their car before each race to claim the top spot of the podium. They have to be careful as the weather, road conditions, and events will change every race to spice up their championship. Players can also enjoy a solo mode with the Legends Module or add automated drivers as additional opponents in multiplayer games.Contents:2 Giant Double-sided Boards4 Track Cards6 Race Cards6 Gear Pawns6 Player Mats72 Speed Cards48 Heat Cards37 Stress Cards114 Upgrade Cards35 Sponsorship Cards10 Legend Cards10 Event Cards1 Legend Mat1 Championship Mat6 Weather Tokens12 Road Conditions Tokens2 Press Corner Standees1 Scorepad2 Rule BookletsAges: 10+Players: 1-6Game Length: 60 minutesDue to distribution restrictions we are only able to ship this product to the United States, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.

“First played this on the Dice Tower cruise. Our family enjoyed it so much, we waited almost a year before finally being able to buy it. It's fairly easy to figure out and plays fairly quickly. The basic race mode is very engaging and the different tracks offer good variety. The box has space to expand with room for two more cars and more components. The components are nothing exceptional but adequate. The cards are of good quality though. Very nice art. A fun game that plays well with up to six. Rules for "seasons" and a solo mode are included but we haven't found the need to check those out yet.”

“The rules are easy to grasp and you end up with a really good beer and pretzels game. It’s highly modular, which keeps things fresh and makes it a great game for enthusiasts (like me) and people who are newer to the hobby.”

“I had waited a long time for this game to come back in stock and luckily Miniature Market notified me and I pounced on it. I love racing games and this one lives up to the hype. It's a hand-building game where you are trying to play the most valuable speed cards and avoid clogging your hand up with heat cards or low speed cards. There's also a lot of push-your-luck with boosting and stress cards which is great in any racing game. If you are familiar with the game Downforce, imagine a meatier, deeper version. This game also has an advanced mode with unique upgrades, sponsorship cards, etc. If it's out of stock get on the watchlist, they'll tell you when it's back.”

“This game is easy to teach and learn, and has modules to make the game more advanced. 4 tracks, 6 cars, and tons of fun. Definitely deserves its BGG rating.”

“It is amazing how the deckbuilding genre evolved in the last years since its start with Dominion. This was so spectacularly implemented in Heat! Managing risk here is so fun, and takes to very exciting matches. And there is so much variability with the garage cards and sponsors. 10/10 game.”

“I am not a NASCAR fan. I really don't care for racing games. I REALLY like this game! I saw this game constantly pop up on BGG's "The Hotness". I saw it was recently added on BGA so I figured I'd give it a try. After a few plays, I decided I had to own it. A great game for the family or friends!”

“I don't normally play solo modes in games, but the game suggests you add a couple automa players if you're short of 4 players. I tried it out and they were really quick and easy to control and gave a good, difficult but beatable challenge. The game is split into mods which imo just makes the game quicker to learn and easier to mold to your own preferences.”
