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.
