Days of Wonder | Heat: Pedal to the Metal | Racing Game | Ages 10+ | 1-6 Players | 60 Minutes Playing Time, DOW9101, Multicolor

Excellent tactical board game, makes a difference from playing video games!

Really easy to play. Don't let the rule book frighten you. Easiest way to learn the game is to watch a video of how to play. Played numerous times now and every game is close and the lead changes nearly every round. There is extra in teh box as well to create a more varied game should you wish. All parts are of good quality. My only gripe would be that it would have been nice for the cars to have been metal not plastic.

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.

Amazing game. Varying degrees of complexity depending on the set of rules you pick. Great build quality.

A crowd pleaser, gets everyone involved and thinking different strategies. I like how this already includes expansion cards and can be played 2-6 players, bots, etc. good variety of ways to play with different boards, worth the purchase!

Really like the game. Shame the box was damaged on arrival

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!

Enjoyable game, takes a few games to get used to the rules but well worth the money
