Love this game. Got it with several expansions. The art and worldbuilding is richly thematic. Love the retro acid feel of this not so serious grimdark world. And the sausages….
Easy in-person pickup from BGB. Game is great, a lot of quality tokens and pieces. Gameplay is fun and quick with lots of little scenarios that don't require extensive setup. Happy to find a game to play at home with a partner without needing to schedule a whole group of friends to come over.
It took me a while to buy in to the hype of this game, not being a big racing fan and I had past experiences of not enjoying that one game everybody recommends, but Heat turned out to be super fun.
Playing solo, the automata does a great job at being super simple to follow, as well as keeping the race entertaining. They can easily be included as well in multiple player games. Heat is super easy to pick up, not so long to set up, and the rules are straightforward enough that anyway can play it and explain it, all while not compromising on its complexity. The game just flows so well. It has quickly become a favorite for me and my friend on our weekends.
