  • Drivers... START. YOUR. ENGINES!
Style: Pedal to the Metal
Speed. Reaction. Competition. Strategy. Adrenaline. As a race car driver three generations deep in motorsports in the last 20 years, I feel as if I know a little something about the sport. As an avid table top gamer who is, right this second, looking at a shelf in my gaming unit with 13 different racing games on it, I also feel qualified to review this one. And let me state... It does NOT disappoint. Let's start with the obvious... It's pricey, I get it. It's more than my internet bill. But hear me out... you'll find some things are simply worth the price of admission and HEAT is one of those things. Firstly, my initial thoughts as I saw the box art and slid the lid off the first time. The box art is superb. Colorful, racey, appropriate and stylish. Slide it off, and the top tier quality continues to shine throughout the components. The cards, driver dashboards, tracks, cars, shifters... everything... feels and looks like money. The rule set. Ahhhh, the rule set. The core factor in determining if a game is fun, exciting and worth our time. HEAT... Easy to follow? Check. Easy to grasp? Check. Easy to learn and retain? Check. Polished and play tested to reduce potential issues? Check. The core rules can be learned in literal minutes. Everything you need to go through a game turn in, quite literally, right under your nose. I mean.. it's printed right on the game dashboard in front of you as you play. Everything you need to know is quickly referenced with a list of graphics as instructions on every players dashboard. The rules are easy to concept, fun to play and replicate the excitement and stress of racing wheel to wheel and door-to-door lap after lap. Beyond the basic rules, the game also comes with a secondary rule book for the modules and advanced rule set. The modules are a wonderful addition to the base game and include custom car building, weather and track conditions, Championship mode with sponsorship bonuses, and even a solo play mode with an extremely intuitive AI system that creates extremely competitive racing when you use them to fill out your field. This has quickly become my favorite game to play both with people and as a solo game. There is an expansion that expands your field to seven cars and adds severe weather to the game to create more adversity on track. There are also slots in the game insert for an eighth car and eighth gear shifter so we can only imagine a second expansion will be released. My only complaint is really a personal preference and that is there needs to be some sort of collision system to implement the dangers of crashing and damaging your car. I have solved this with a house rule that states landing on the same space as another car results in a die roll. That resolves possible collisions on a collision chart. So with a little imagination, this small oversight is easily corrected making HEAT the perfect racing game. In my opinion HEAT is well worth the pretty substantial asking price. I already feel as though I have gotten way more than my money's worth out of the game and will continue to see returns in fun and excitement for years to come. ... show more

  • This game is a blast!
Style: Pedal to the Metal
Heat: Pedal to the Metal combines fast-paced racing action with smart hand management and tactical decisions. Every turn feels exciting as you balance speed, gear shifts, and engine heat. The components are high quality, and the artwork really captures the vintage racing vibe. What I love most is how replayable it with different tracks, weather conditions, and upgrade options keeping each race fresh. It’s easy to learn but has enough depth to keep strategy lovers engaged. Whether you're playing solo or with a group, it’s always a fun and competitive experience. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys racing themes or clever card-driven games! ... show more

  • Awesome, fun, exhilarating!
Style: Pedal to the Metal
Quick to learn, fun to play. Great game with enough luck element to give a winning chance to novice players. We are racing fans and felt that the game simulated the racing elements pretty well. We haven't yet tried all the add-ons and are looking forward to trying all of the game modes.

  • Races are always Fun!
Style: Pedal to the Metal
I really like playing Heat. So bummed my wife is not a fan of the theme or mechanics. I don’t understand why!?! Artwork is outstanding and I think the flow is great. I play with a friend and we use the automated cars along with us which really helps make it fun. Amazing how well the automated cars stay about the same pace and they are super easy to run on the side. Great game. For a feel of other games we are currently also loving - River of gold, Earth, Targi, Living Forest, Harmonies among others. I think Heat is right there near the top for fun and replaying and I haven’t even used advanced cards yet. ... show more

  • Everyone likes it
Style: Pedal to the Metal
I’ve seen both very occasional, casual board game players and more frequent “determined” players both love this game even playing together. The basic game is quick to learn, there are lots of complications/built-in extensions available, and the secret is that there are “catch-up” mechanics to keep the game interesting and in reach up to the last turn for most or all players while still rewarding good, strategic play (a neat trick - really excellent game design). Materials are all good quality. Little touches like marking the number of spaces to the next tight turn on the track encourage smart play, which in turn increases engagement and skill in a more casual player. Has become a favorite at a monthly game group. ... show more

  • Fun for teenagers and adults
Style: Pedal to the Metal
My 17 yo wanted this so we got it and have enjoyed playing it. You do have to think and use some strategy, but it was fun. You can even play it by yourself since you can play some of the cars like bots and they have their own moves. The boards and cards are well made and will last a long time, and it packs back up easily into the game box. ... show more

  • Hard To Learn But Fun In The End
Style: Pedal to the Metal
It was somewhat challenging to learn, that's why I docked a star. Thankfully there are you tube videos out there to help learn this game. The game pieces felt like they were of quality build. Once the concept was learned it as a fun exciting board game that my family keeps going back to.
