Heat: Pedal to the Metal

I am starting to really like this game. It has a greater depth than some of my favourite racing games (Ave Caesar, Flamme Rouge) and a longer learning curve in order to play well. Yet at the same time it has enough randomness to still provide some thrilling or ‘oh shit’ moments. And, in a gaming age where publishers look to water down the base game and publish a designers overall intent through multiple expansions, Days of Wonder are to be applauded by providing so much content in a single box.

Was ok. Decently themed racing game with interesting mechanics. Races seem to be close.

Heavy Rain

Just, wow.

Just played this for the first time with a group of 5 friends and we all had an absolute blast. We all can’t wait to play it again at the next game night and include the other modules.

Ridiculously accessible. I'm in love with the super-simple game framework and the way the box includes a half a dozen ways to ramp up the complexity of the system. I'm looking forward to expansions with more maps/players/moving parts. We played twice back to back and I keep thinking about it. Would love to play again.

Drawing the right cards and adjusting your gear to either boost your race car forward or slow down to make those tight turns is so thrilling! Awesome theme with awesome mechanics!
