i remember as a kid playing a game that was ... interesting? i haven't seen it in years, i imagine it'd be hard to find a set but i'd love to see the guys play or perhaps it's more accurate to say "attempt to play" a game called "Agri-hazard". i remember it being even more stressful than monopoly, it ruined many a game night growing up. would be interesting to see someone try to play it with fresh eyes after all these years.

I really liked Sullivan's random fact that a third of old timey F1 drivers died driving.

@AzumiLP

Жыл бұрын

Another fun fact for you is that none of the drivers wore seatbelts, this was because in a crash it was better to be thrown from the car to avoid being burnt alive if the fuel tank ruptured and caught fire which they regularly did. It was common back then to be racing at full speed whilst a driver was dead by the side of the road either in a ditch somewhere, or if they hadn't been thrown from the car, cooking alive like a roast pig. Another funeral for another driver and then straight back to racing again with possibly another funeral before the weeks end.

okay not to be like "Sully knows nothing about F1" but he's wrong on two counts. this is just the motorsport nerd in me coming out Firstly, from 1950 to 1959 15 drivers unfortunately lost their lives in F1 events, out of dozens and dozens, so it was definitely not a third. Fortunately F1 has been a much less lethally dangerous sport since the 80s (though we still have lost too many drivers) Secondly, he could be correct in suggesting that the cars on the box are from the 50s but really it looks to me like a Lotus 33 or Lotus 49, both of which are cars from the mid to late 60s. If I'm not mistaken anyway, the livery depicted wasn't used until the Lotus 25 of 1962.

Just for people seeing this and pondering on buying the game, this game was played with the basic decks. There is a lot more to this game. as you can draft cards to upgrade your car with variable new cards. This makes the game shine in my opinion. On top of that there is a championship system as well which also adds more variety. Also, there are a few rules mistakes in this clip, like stress on a spin out goes to your hand, not your discard among one or two other nitpicks. It's a great game :).

If anyone is interested, the reveal is supposed to happen during each person's turn. It is part of step 3. Steps 3-9 are done individually. Steps 1 & 2 are done simultaneously. You can remember this by color of gauge trim on the player board car dashboard. Helps prevent people deciding to boost, adrenaline, or slipstream based on where other people are gonna end up. Also just noticed they were doing this. You can never play 5 cards from your hand. The boost that costs 1 heat is like a stress card. You can add a random extra speed card from your draw pile not your hand.

Rules mistake? At 25:45, Holly played 5 cards by paying a heat. That's not how that works. The plus sign on the player mat means you can boost, meaning you can basically "play" a stress and flip over a card from your deck to move forward. I don't think you can ever play more than 4 cards in a turn.

Yep. The "Boost" rule was misused in this game as well as "stress on spinout" was missed for a long time. Still great play though :)

Just a game note, not sure if everyone forgot boosts were there, but they are your friend especially on that long straightaway. Also, Holly's five-Heat cost play on that turn was very smart. On the USA track, it's the difference between winning and losing to get around that before everyone else if you have the Heat to do it.

HEAT is brilliant board game, I'd love to see a play in tournament mode with engine upgrades and everything.

Great game! Lots of missed opportunities where Boosting would have been the right move. You can boost any turn. I think you might have missed that rule? Holly playing 5 cards at the end (and also at 20m 30s) is i guess how you interpreted it? It doesn't work that way - boost happens during the 'reaction' phase and doesn't involve playing a card from your hand: just draw from the deck. You can choose to boost every turn, it adds to your speed.

A bit of a rules clarification, when you spin out you have to spend all of your heat. Also the stress you get from it goes TO YOUR HAND. Also boosting isn't putting an extra card, like stress it's drawing from the top of your deck(thats why its the same symbol) and whatever happens, happens.
