Setup
Place the board in the center. For the first game use the Scotland face (basic); the Ireland face is advanced mode.
Block the indicated areas according to the number of players.
Each player takes their set of tiles (food farms, energy farms and settlements) of their color and places them in their personal bag. Take 1 tile at random to have in hand.
Each player receives their wooden castle and cathedral pieces.
Shuffle the mission cards and place them face down next to the board. The youngest player starts.
ROUND STRUCTURE
Place the tile in your hand on an empty space on the board, score immediately, and draw a new tile from your bag for the next turn.

CASTLES AND CATHEDRALS
When you place a tile adjacent to an empty castle, you place your piece on it (you are the first to claim it). If a rival accumulates more tiles adjacent to the same castle, they take the piece and control.
When you place your first tile adjacent to a cathedral, you place your piece and draw a secret mission card. Completing it at the end gives you the indicated points.
Victory conditions
Points are scored immediately upon placing each tile. When placing a farm, you gain 1 point for each tile in the group you just created or expanded (including the new one). For settlements, districts score when completely filled: small district (1 space) scores according to influence; middle district (2 spaces) gives 5 pts to the first and 3 pts to the second; large district (3 spaces) gives 8 pts to the first and 5 pts to the second.
The game ends when all players have placed all their tiles. Castles are then scored (5 points per castle controlled) and secret missions completed. Whoever has the most points 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.
