About the game

Heat: Rocky Roads is an expansion for Heat from Days of Wonder, designed by Asger Aleksandrov Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen (2026). It plays 1–7 players in 60–120 minutes, for ages 10+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 8.2 out of 10 and call it medium (2.5 / 5 weight).

Heat: Rocky Roads introduces two new racing tracks, each with their own unique challenges. In the South Africa Grand Prix, you will face treacherous gravel on the track, requiring careful management of your car and nerves of steel. Victory on the Germany track will hinge on how you deal with the fast pace of the newly built chicanes along the long straight away. Take part in the 1966 Championship season and take advantage of a new innovation, the Sliding Skirts, to surprise your opponents and slipstream to victory!

  • CONQUER TWO NEW TRACKS: Race across a giant double-sided board featuring the treacherous South Africa Grand Prix with unstable gravel sections and the high-speed Germany track with newly built chicanes demanding precise timing.
  • MASTER NEW MECHANICS: Introduces the Sliding Skirts innovation, enhancing car control and offering fresh strategies for slipstreaming, overtaking, and surprising rivals when it matters most.
  • JOIN THE 1966 CHAMPIONSHIP: Adds full 1966 Championship Season content with new event cards, scoring tools, and track-specific challenges to expand long-form campaign play.
  • EXPAND YOUR GARAGE: Includes a new race car miniature with matching gear pawn, player mat, Heat, Stress, Upgrade, Sponsorship, and Basic cards—allowing players to mix new tools seamlessly into their existing HEAT decks.
  • READY TO RACE: Comes with Track cards, a scorepad, tokens, and a rules booklet, giving players everything needed to dive into advanced racing strategy—HEAT: Pedal to the Metal base game required.
