We will be playing **Heat: Pedal to the Metal** with up to 8 players. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes. **Heat: Pedal to the Metal** puts players in the driver's seat of intense car races, jockeying for position to cross the finish line first, while managing their car's speed if they don't want to overheat. Selecting the right upgrades for their car will help them hug the curves and keep their engine cool enough to maintain top speeds. Ultimately, their driving skills will be the key to victory!
