Heat Pedal to the Metal Board Game

Based on simple and intuitive hand management, Heat: Pedal to the Metal puts you in the driver’s seat of intense car races. You are jockeying for position to cross the finish line first, while managing your car’s speed if you don’t want to overheat. 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.

Take the wheel of a racing car and push its engine to the limit in Heat Pedal to the Metal. Players use straightforward hand management to control their speed, challenge for position and judge how aggressively they can approach every corner without overheating.

Heat cards allow a driver to demand more from their engine, but excessive heat can restrict later decisions and leave the car struggling at a critical moment. Slipstreaming, gear changes and carefully timed upgrades create a tense race in which smart preparation can be just as important as raw speed.

Race on four circuits using the double sided boards or connect several events through the Championship System. Weather, changing road conditions, sponsorship opportunities and garage upgrades bring additional variety, while the Legends module adds automated drivers for solo games or fuller multiplayer grids.
