Depends on your group
- Our take
- BGG's top review calls it essential if you race against bots, but several fans in the announcement thread said they'd pass because they rarely use Legends.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
Heat: Pedal to the Metal · Expansion
Heat: Legends
- What it adds
- Card pack only: new Legend cards at three difficulty levels covering every car color, Power Up cards that give Legends abilities like slipstream and draft, Rival cards, and new Sponsorship cards.
- What it fixes
- Base-game Legends (bots) get too easy for experienced players and only cover base-game colors; this makes bots tougher, adjustable, and usable with the expansion cars.
