One of last year’s biggest board game hits, motor racing game Heat: Pedal to the Metal, should finally be back in stock in the US by the end of May after surprising its publisher with the speed it sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat, a hand-management-focused motor racing games set in the 1960s, saw copies fly off the shelves after its November 2022 release was followed by a plethora of positive reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week Heat triumphed in two categories at the annual BoardGameGeek Golden Geek awards<\/a>, picking up gongs for Medium Game of the Year and Best Thematic Game, and also finishes as a runner-up to Cat in the Box as Best Innovative Game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher Days of Wonder has managed to get a timely print run in for the game, which will be back in stock in the US at the very end of this month according to company head Adrien Martinot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No word yet on the much-rumoured expansion for the game, which is expected to add support for 7-8 players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat’s strong display in the BoardGameGeek awards has just seen it crack the site’s Top 100 for the first time, with the game currently sitting in 96th place with a rating of 8.2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson for Asmodee, Days of Wonder’s parent company, would not confirm how many copies of the game have been sold to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
