Heat – Heavy Rain: Wet adrenaline, even hotter racing
If you thought you'd already given it your all on the scorching tracks of Heat , get ready to open your umbrella... and step on the gas! Heat – Heavy Rain brings the expansion that ups the ante: new maps, wet rules, a seventh driver , and the ingenious idea of submerged segments. Because every overtake in the downpour counts double.
More than an expansion, it's a thrill-accelerator: Japan and Mexico offer thrilling turns, while the new card deck introduces fresh power-ups like a well-timed pit stop. Watch out for the purple cooldown : if you play it right, you can bring a Heat card back into play and turn the race around. And with the seventh player, chaos on the track is guaranteed.
Why Heat – Heavy Rain is a Must-Have in Your Garage
- Official expansion for Heat , with support for up to 7 drivers
- Two new tracks : wet Tokyo and scorching Mexico
- Flooded segments requiring more heat to downshift
- Update cards and new mechanics for experienced pilots
- Solo mode and even richer campaign
Rain, speed, and strategy: Heat – Heavy Rain is the perfect weather for those who love to race to the limit. And in the end, win or lose... you'll be soaked with fun. 🏁🌧️🔥
Heat – Heavy Rain - Expansion
Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Race in pouring rain
With Heavy Rain , every corner can change behavior based on the weather conditions: grip decreases, tracks become more unpredictable, and cornering strategies have to be completely rethought.
2. Add the Weather module: each race changes radically
Each race begins with a random weather condition , which affects acceleration, braking, and heat management. Rain forces players to think more carefully and tactically, avoiding unnecessary risks.
3. New wet markers make curves more dangerous
Curves with the wet symbol require more attention: you can slide, go off the track, or overheat more easily. Managing Heat cards intelligently is even more important when the track is slippery.
4. New Setup cards to adapt to extreme weather
This expansion introduces cards that allow you to modify your racing setup : wet tires, enhanced brakes, or conservative strategies. Every choice you make before the race can change the outcome of the competition.
5. Combine Heavy Rain with all other Heat expansions
It can be used alone or in conjunction with Tunnel Vision , Sponsor Modules , and the Championship System to make your seasons even more varied and unpredictable. Only the most adaptable drivers can dominate on wet asphalt!
