Heat: Legends Board Game Expansion

About this product

The Legends are on the grid. Now prove you can keep up.

Expansion for Heat: Pedal to the Metal • 1–5 players • Ages 10+ • Approx. 60 minutes • Base game required

Upgrade Heat's automated Legend drivers with six difficulty levels, Power Ups, fierce Rivals and smarter racing behaviour for solo and multiplayer races.

Product Description

Heat: Pedal to the Metal is required to play. This is not a standalone game, and no cars are included.

The grid is filling up, and the automated drivers are no longer content simply to follow the pack.

Heat: Legends takes the Legend system from Heat: Pedal to the Metal and turns it into a much deeper racing challenge. Automated drivers become faster, smarter and more unpredictable, giving experienced racers tougher opposition whether you're competing solo or adding Legends to a multiplayer grid.

Choose from six difficulty levels to decide just how hard the Legends should push you. At the introductory level, they behave similarly to the original Legend system while allowing races with up to 12 cars. Increase the difficulty and the new Star Module comes into play, giving Legends powerful abilities through a deck of Power Up cards.

They can slipstream, draft through traffic, attack corners more aggressively, go Full Throttle and use other abilities that make them feel far more capable on the track.

Want even more pressure? Add the Rivals Module, where two Legends become particularly dangerous opponents. Rivals can be used in a single race or carried into Championship play, where the strongest Legend drivers can change from race to race as the season unfolds.

With adjustable difficulty, new Championship content and automated opponents that fight much harder for position, Heat: Legends gives seasoned Heat players a new reason to get back behind the wheel.

Smarter rivals. Wilder races. Maximum Heat.
