The target cards define how each animal scores: in a line, in a group, in pairs or in specific patterns.
Victory conditions
When the terrain tiles are finished, the score is counted
Each type of animal scores according to the target card active in that game.
Larger territories of each terrain type give additional points (1 point per tile in the largest territory of each type).
Nature tokens are received for special formations, which are worth 1 point each.
Whoever scores the most points in total wins.

Heat is a Formula 1 racing game as easy to learn as it is thrilling to play. You manage a hand of cards representing your car's speed: play more cards to go faster, but you'll gain 'heat' that can make you lose control in corners. The challenge is pushing your speed to the limit without overheating. Easy to bring to the table with family or friends, with a rush of adrenaline that rivals any heavier game.
