Heat - Board Game
HEAT puts you behind the wheel of a formula car, where tactics and engine temperature control will determine victory on the racetrack
The board game Heat puts you behind the wheel of a chaotic 1960s car race. It is based on simple principles. The goal of the game is to win the race, which will help you to various upgrades for your car, to make it easier to negotiate corners or cool down the engine to maintain top speed. The most important thing, however, is your driving skills. You will also be able to add legendary auto-drivers using the Legends module, allowing you to play the game single player or add them as additional opponents in multiplayer games. The Heat board game is designed for 1 to 6 players aged 10 and up who will enjoy at least 60 minutes of great fun and racing.
