Heat: Pedal to the Metal

Heat: Pedal to the Metal is a racing board game that puts you in the driver’s seat of classic Grand Prix duels where smart hand management keeps your engine from blowing.

Each turn you’ll shift gears, play cards from your deck, and rocket down the track while managing “heat” that builds up as you push your car beyond its limits. Hug corners, slipstream past rivals, and time risky boosts to snatch the lead-if you overcook a bend or run too hot, you’ll bog down just as the pack screams past. The game supports everything from a single sprint to a full Championship season, complete with car upgrades, changing weather, and automated “Legends” drivers that let you race solo or fill out a crowded grid. With simultaneous card play and quick rounds for 1–6 players in about 30–60 minutes, it delivers fast, tactical racing that feels tense right up to the checkered flag. Available now at Boarding School Games-take your place on the starting grid.
