- Our take
- Most replies in BGG's "which expansion?" thread picked Heavy Rain over Tunnel Vision: rain puddles are easy to grasp and Air Intake cooling is useful on every track.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
Heat: Pedal to the Metal · Expansion
Heat: Heavy Rain
- What it adds
- Two new tracks (Japan with rain puddles that limit downshifting, Mexico with chicanes), the 1964 Championship season, Air Intake upgrade cards for extra cooling, and a 7th car (orange) with its own deck and mat.
- What it fixes
- Base tracks start to feel familiar; adds two very different circuits, a strong all-round upgrade, and room for a seventh player.
