Description
Smell the fuel, feel the heat, hear the roaring engines, and watch the excitement of the crowds! Will you be racing in the United States, France, Great Britain, or Italy? It is up to you because there are four different race boards in Heat Pedal to the Metal. In this action-packed board game for 1-6 players, everyone will race around the track using a deck of cards to determine their options each turn.
First, players choose what gear to use, which determines how many cards they can play. Next, they decide how far they will go on the track, based on the value of the cards in their hand that they choose to play. Some turns, drivers will take corners, and it is wise strategy not to drive too quickly at risk of spinning out.
Players can use their heat cards to mitigate overdriving turns and to gain extra distance. When the time is right, be sure to cool down your car by discarding heat cards in your hand back to your engine – thus giving yourself more options on another turn. The first driver to cross the finish line wins the game!
There are instructions included for solo mode, advanced play that incorporates more challenges such as weather conditions, and a championship system. This fast-paced 60-minute game incorporates strategy, luck, and fun and comes in a well-organized box.
Publisher's Description of Heat: Pedal to the Metal Car Racing Board Game | Days of Wonder
The countdown begins and sudden deep roars cut through the air as all the cars leap away from their starting lines; the Grand Prix is underway. Dust and wind rush past your helmet as you enter the first corner. Pushing your engine to the limit, you almost spin out but tightening your grip on the steering wheel you slide through the corner apex still in first. You got this!
To stay at the front of the pack, you’ll need to push your car to the limit. Will your car endure the long straightaways or will your engine fail in the last curve because you’ve taken too much HEAT?
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.
Add legendary automated drivers with the Legends Module so you can play solo, or add them as additional opponents in multiplayer games.
