Heat: Pedal to the Metal - GameNight! Se10 Ep25 - How to Play and Playthrough 

You are correct. Unfortunately that was overlooked. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

@@boardgamegeek thanks for the video! And, you know, the many others :)

48.42 if Nikki had used her adrenalin and slipstreamed, although she'd have had to pay three Heat and only had two, she was in second gear _and_ had her last place cooldown, so she could have used her cooldown to (possibly) gain 2 heat. That would have let her pay the Heat for the corner (and possibly still have 1 Heat left!). It's really important that you can do the elements in Step 5 in any order

In his defense he was trying his best to stop mentioning every single optional thing every turn

"Ouiiiiiiiiii!!"

That sounds exactly like something Hydra would say...

Yes

Formula De meets Flamme Rouge.

Formula D with less and more controlled randomness. Looks pretty great, the backs and forths was particularily interesting, doesn't seem like you're ever completely out of the game while still not feeling like the first laps don't matter. But you'd need a few playthroughs to see if it was a coincidence or if it's that well designed.

saw this and it enraged me and i came here to see if anyone else noticed. he literally says "I need to draw 4 cards", and then instantly proceeds to draw 5 times

@@barrz3372 You are "enraged"? Really? He made a mistake. People make mistakes.

Just got my copy as well and amazed at how much game is in this game. Also looks like there is room in the box for 2 more cars for future expansion.

How old are your kids?

Boo! Why was I so confident? -Lincoln

@@boardgamegeek Heeheee, maybe because of the numbers on the board? More likely a math fail than anything else. BUT... my entire game changes from that point on, potentially, because now all my future curves are different. So no joke, those extra two spaces could have just as likely ended me in last place as first. No way to know.

Hmm... I don't have access to the rules anymore, but you're probably right. FWIW, I'm not sure I'd wanna play at a table where everyone flipping and then seeing everyone else's cards would be something players would use as information for their turn :)

While the slipstream is free and doesn't add to your speed, you still need to check your speed against the corner limit, paying heat if you're going too fast. -WEM

@@boardgamegeek In the rulebook page 6 it say's ''Slipstreaming does not increase your Speed value for the purpose of the Check Corner step''

@@JohnnyVegas1111 You're both in agreement in case it wasn't obvious. What @BoardGameGeek is getting at is if your free slipstream move puts you past the corner then you need to do the corner check, which you'd not need to do if you forgo the slipstream. So sometimes you won't want to take it.

@@ShaydeNZ > You're both in agreement in case it wasn't obvious. Here are some examples: Corner value is 7. You move 6 to get up to the corner line, then slipstream for 2 to get past the corner line. Your corner check is 6 vs. 7, no heat. Corner value is 7. You move 8 to get up to the corner line, then stop. No corner check, no heat. Corner value is 7. You move 8 to get up to the corner line, then slipstream for 2 to get past the corner line. Your corner check is 8 vs. 7, you take one heat. Did I get it right? If so, the first example shows that the slipstream doesn't count towards your corner check, and you sometimes get movement for free. Comparing examples two and three shows that the slipstream might make the difference between corner check and no corner check, and the corner check might give you a heat, so that's an example where the slipstream comes at a cost.

@@JohnnyVegas1111 Yep, but if a choice to slipstream causes you to go past a corner, you have now triggered the need to check your speed for the corner ... in which case your speed does NOT include the slipstream, but you may end up taking heat anyway.

Michael, we are using the Premium Matte sleeves from our sponsor, Gamegenic. We used matte because of our concern about glare on camera and have come to love them because of how they handle vs. standard shiny sleeves. Plus they don't get scratched up as easily. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

I'm struggling to see the relationship between this game and real life cars/motorsports actually. It is an abstract game that is actually hurt by the theme painted on it, at least for people who follow real life racing. My brain just can't accept it.

@@saintsalieri Abstract? Azul or Calico, or Ganz Shon Clever are abstract. I said it was thematic and not exact real-life replica. You can't have car work on cards. 🤣

@I:Mallia Rallyman is very thematic using dice. You have to realistically pick braking points and downshift properly. Azul is maybe a little less abstract, as you really feel like you're tiling a floor in that game.

Larry, thanks for the kind words! We do not do a Patreon at this point but if you would like to support us please consider doing so during the BoardGameGeek Support Drive going on right now. If you are interested go to boardgamegeek.com/support and choose an option there. Thanks so much for the note and for watching!-Lincoln

Yes, you can only cool down on gear 1 and 2, or if you are at last place (2nd to last place for 5-6 players) by using adrenaline.

If you mean him boosting and then using his adrenaline, step 4 adrenaline isnt actually a step, it lets you add the benefits to step 5. I just got the game so may be wrong though

Not exactly. Dave does not fully explain, but "step four" is an exception, it is really just information that you use in step five. Read the rulebook for more information.

The rulebook does clarify that you may advance your Adrenaline space before or after your Boost. And that you may play your React actions (Cooldown, Boost, etc) in any order you like. Slipstream, however, does seem to have to be played after those, and before the Corner Check.

@Jesse Hopson - that's always felt like the intended design to me, and not some after-the-fact kludge. So I don't consider that "socialism" in the pejorative sense. It's 100% part of the "main" game system, IMO, and everyone can plan accordingly. Whether that's your cup of tea or not, however, is another thing.

That’s a good point. I really enjoy the struggle in PowerGrid to have first access to the best places to build, but you are right in that it feels like part of the design and not just a added on thing. Appreciate it!

OMG, the icon for it is even RIGHT THERE and I missed it. Dang, sorry all. FWIW, I think we were all roughly in last place the same amount (I hope, anyway). Sheesh.

@@davidarnott4850 wanted to post the same but someone was before me hehe. Last player gets one cooldown and one move if they wish to use it

Chris, I usually buy my T-shirts and jerseys in XL but lately I have decided to try the last few in Large and they are still too big. So I would say the Geeky Jerseys run at least one size too large. I'm worried the medium might be a little too snug since they should be loose so I'm not sure what size people should get. Maybe one or two sizes smaller? Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

I should have watch 4 seconds more 😂. Sorry

Lol

No. The Adrenaline step is more just for you to take a mental note. The rules clarify that you may advance your Adrenaline space before or after Boost and that you may perform the (step 5) React actions (Boost, Cooldown, etc) in any order you like.

No. See the rulebook.

The additional 2 movement does not count but if you go over the line your total speed counts, plus any boosting or adrenaline. We did keep missing the bonus cool down for those in last place. But it means we might do another episode with more players and some expansions. We really love the game. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

Great play through as usual, I just watch it a second time after I was lucky enough to find a copy of the game at Tampa Con! I was so excited I finally found a copy! A few times I was confused in the video about slipstreaming around corners. “Slipstreaming does not increase speed value for the purpose of the check corner step.” For example, if you move 3 on a 3 corner and you have not made it pass the corner but you land right behind or on the side of someone, you can slipstream pass the corner with out adding value to the corner, thus not having to pay heat or spin out. It still only counts as you moved 3. Thank you for Game Night and all you do for the hobby! My confusion might be you guys might not have slipstreamed across the corner because the car speed was over the corner speed limit to begin with. I’ll have to rewatch. Oh shucks! 😂

Alberto, we are using Gamegenic Matte sleeves. Admittedly they are our sponsors but we truly love them. -Lincoln

True

No, with 5 cars or more you use adrenaline for 2 last cars. In the game with 4 cars or less you use adrenaline only for the last one.

If you play with the "garage module", you start the game with a draft of dozens of upgrade cards, such as brakes, tires, wings, cooling systems, suspension, etc., so yes, you can build an engine of sorts. -WEM

It's how hard the turn is that slows you down

I thought the same. Instead of the bicycles we have cars.

Looks good. Just not as good as Flamme rouge! IMO.

However with all the modules added it may be a lot more interesting than the base game seen here.

It's from the same designer as Flamme Rouge

The game does have the same problem as its predecessor, Flamme Rouge. Because it wants the race to be so close until the end (and avoid a runaway leader), you will always the opportunity to catch up indeed, so it feels like only the last turn really matters.

Jaayse, I'm sorry that you are bothered by them. Gamegenic's sponsorship allows BoardGameGeek to actually earn income from these videos after 10 years of almost no income. We are also showing ads for products that are more likely to be of interest to our audience. I do not enjoy most of the ads that RU-vid serves so I am appreciative we can turn them off on GameNight! videos. Thankfully our ads are skippable if you really can't watch them. -Lincoln

I actually do not mind them since they are coming up between the chapters, where there is a natural break of the content, so it doesn't seem to intrusive. It's actually clever to do it that way. Three short add-breaks in an 1:36h video isn't that much do endure. Your sensibilities may vary but c'mon, give them a break (pun totally intended). 😉

i kinda like the look of their products, so i dont mind these all that much - but the ads are WAY louder than the content, which tends to blast my ears pretty badly... and for a headphone user thats VERY unpleasant... i would appreciate it if the volume on those (and maybe the intro) was tuned down a little, to be more in line with the rest of the audio

It's the music that really annoys me (if you can call it that), it is loud and incongruous. I can ignore the ad if it wasn't for that, worse than the pop ups or ads you have to skip.

We must not have watched the same video 😂
