Heat: Pedal to the Metal
Heat: Pedal to the Metal is an intense car-racing game for 1–6 players (ages 10+) by Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen, published by Days of Wonder. Players manage a hand of cards representing speed and heat, making split-second decisions to avoid overheating while jockeying for position across multiple circuits. Winner of the 2023 Kennerspiel des Jahres.
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.
