Setup

Shuffle the wagon cards and deal 4 to each player. Place 5 cards face up next to the board. The rest form the Dadocritico robbery deck
Shuffle the fate cards and deal 3 to each player. Each player must keep at least 2 (they can keep all 3 if they want). The discards go to the end of the Toys deck

Rules
- 1
Each player starts with 4 train cards and 3 destination tickets (must keep at least 2).
- 2
Take ONE action per turn: steal train tickets, claim a route or get new destination tickets.
- 3
To claim a route, play the number of cards of the corresponding color and place your wagons.
- 4
The longest route gives 10 bonus points at the end; completed tickets add points, incomplete tickets subtract points.
- 5
When a player has 2 wagons or less, each opponent takes one more turn; then the total points are counted.
Victory conditions
The game ends when a player has 2 or less wagons left. A final round is played and the final scores are tallied: points from completed routes and destination tickets are added, and points from uncompleted tickets are subtracted. The player with the longest continuous route wins a bonus of 10 points. The longer the route, the more points: 1 wagon = 1 pt, 2 = 2 pts, 3 = 4 pts, 4 = 7 pts, 5 = 10 pts, 6 = 15 pts. 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.
