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.

Heat: Pedal to the Metal

Great car racing

Heat: Pedal to the metal a great game for gatherings.

Very easy to learn, with modular aspects, that you can include after getting introduced to the game. Great multiplayer and an excellent solo experience with the introduction of AI bots, that play the other drivers. These AI bots can also be used in the multiplayer games when you want to fill the entire roster.

Fun in both solo and with friends

It took me a while to buy in to the hype of this game, not being a big racing fan and I had past experiences of not enjoying that one game everybody recommends, but Heat turned out to be super fun.

Playing solo, the automata does a great job at being super simple to follow, as well as keeping the race entertaining. They can easily be included as well in multiple player games. Heat is super easy to pick up, not so long to set up, and the rules are straightforward enough that anyway can play it and explain it, all while not compromising on its complexity. The game just flows so well. It has quickly become a favorite for me and my friend on our weekends.

Kelp: fun but a bit lopsided

My partner and I have played this a couple times from both roles and while it’s fun, it definitely feels like the odds are stacked perhaps a little too heavily against the shark. Because of this, it can be tough to convince people to play as it sort of feels like you already know who is going to win by which character you get. That said, I will still continue to play it for the challenge of trying to win with the shark…it will likely just not feature very heavily in my two player game rotation.

Tous ceux avec qui j'ai joué l'ont adoré!

Pour moi j'ai acheté les boitiers rouge et violet afin de jouer avec plus de personnes et ensuite j'ai acheté le coffret Deluxe pour l'offrir en cadeau.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
