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.
"sorry; poor is a status condition, and when you have it, all of your debt is "real" and has a definite, fixed value. There's another status condition called "rich," which makes all of your debt not mean anything anymore, but you cannot achieve it."
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.
@@saoirsefitzpatrick1123Wouldn't the number go up if you included deaths in testing between events? Still not as high as Sully suggested, but an increase all the same.
In a less-fun fact about Formula 1 and death, the number of deaths was frequent enough that the 1970 F1 champion Jochen RIndt couldn't accept his champions' trophy because he'd died four races before the end of the season, becoming the sport's so far only posthumous world champion.
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 :).
@@benjaminchetty7574 Yes, it's a a nice system that is easy to upkeep. I have heard they get easier to beat once you get to know the game a bit better..which I think is still fair. I have only used them at 3 players to fill up the race to 6 cars, it worked great. :)
They joke about Sullivan having the power to hear through his hands but there was an actual Batman villain who could see through his fingers. The Ten-Eyed Man wasn't exactly the greatest supervillain.
Funnily enough, the Ten-Eyed Man resurfaced in the comics again somewhat recently, and has been reimagined in a pretty cool way; each eye sees in a different way (i.e through walls, backwards in time etc), with the conflicting visions having driven him thoroughly insane.
Wanted to say that I like this more rushed version of giving the rules since Adam does end up explaining to the group while playing. Feels less cumbersome, much more streamlined.
Love the way Adam says 'sushi go that we played last week' like they are not all wearing the same clothes and got 2 weeks worth of BGC done in one session. 😋 Love you guys!
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.
Yeah a few little sequencing errors, I think there was a bit where Laurie could have put a heat back in his engine with cool down in step 5 before the slipstream which would have given him enough heat to then spend to get around the corner... I think, but I'm just trying to remember on the sofa so I might be mistaken
Love the channel but there are quite a few rules errors most weeks. I know it's a channel about showing how fun board games can be, and not a rules explanation channel but still...
@@arandombard1197 Really depends on the players. In a family setting where Uno is the height of competitive games, sure. For any slightly more enthused boardgame players, getting this much unwarranted knowledge and control can massively break the game. I missed a single line of text in Taverns of Tiefenthal, and it ruined the game for us, until I re-read the rules a few weeks ago.
@henryjoconnell As an aspiring games designer myself (studied game design for 4 years) I am more than comfortable when people miss a rule or 2. As long as everyone remains on the same playing filed. Obviously when its a crucial rule that will impact the the game fun factor etc then its less great. But in this groups particular case it seems that it doesn't impact their enjoyment. Its more important to have fun than worry about rules
Blair works in education and so when she appears depends on when they are either recording in the evenings, weekends or (more likely) not in term time. I'd guess these were filmed during the summer half term which was between early June.
At 32:15 there is a rules mistake. On top of losing all the heat and shifting down to first gear, Laurie should have gotten two additional stress cards from the pile directly into his hand, since he was in fourth gear.
Maybe I'm mistaken but weren't they getting the boost slightly wrong? It looked like they were playing an extra card from hand instead of drawing from top of deck. Drawing blind makes boosting far riskier as it functions like stress.
My wife bought about 30 board games before I met her and none of them is out of the shrink wrap. I'm not sure what that means, but due to her quilting addiction, her fabric takes up so much space that we can't play ;(
This is the best racing board game I've seen, there is the perfect amount of strategy and randomness mixed in and the interactivity of the mechanics looks fun.
24:28 This seems to be a misinterpretation of the boosting rule unless I missed when Holly flipped a fifth card from the top of the deck. Boosting is done during step 5 React after moving your car but before deciding to slipstream and works the same as a stress card in that you reveal cards from the top of your deck until you get one with the speed symbol.
I paused the video there b/c I was confused on what was happening since I didn't see anything mentioned in the comments lol. But yea it's play 4 cards in 4th gear, then boost in step 5.
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.
I played this once with my weekly board gaming group. Most fun I had in forever. Especially me and one of my friends constantly cracking either F1, Cars, or NASCAR jokes
As an OG Adam fan from the Whatculture days, seeing his personal project grow to such an extent that freaking SMOSH shouted out his channel, it’s kinda heartwarming
Every time Sullivan has his hands on the table edge, it makes me think of John Cleese as the Frenchman in the castle in Monty Python and the Holy Grail 😆
See, this is what I mean. I wish them all the success that results in them being able to get their own studio, but I also miss the Tower of Destiny being literally within arms length to determine who goes first
This is by far my favorite game of 2023. I'm happy you all can experience it. I haven't watched the episode yet. I'm about to right now, but I hope you all play this again with all the bells and whistles to optimize your car, the championship mode, and the OP Legends mode. This game is fantastic. For every level of gamer, you can go as easy as you want, or you can go as advance and have a great time.
Best way to win isn't about avoiding heat, it's about gaining heat to speed through the corners and having a good system to remove said heat once it comes back into your hand....
Thanks you to all of you for this playthrough! I love your videos. And I love Heat, even though I haven't played it myself yet and have just been watching lots of playthroughs of it.
24:51 - You CAN slip stream AND get the Plus 1 AND cooldown. Just FYI. React happens before Slipstreaming. Of course, if she DID do a +1, then slip stream, she would've added SO MUCH HEAT (13 I think) that it was the best decision to do one or the other. Just making that clear for people watching this to learn how to play (Like I am doing now with the rulebook open).
My friend has this game, it's amazing. He also bought micro-machine sized Mario Kart figures, and uses those instead of the tiny little cars, so Blaire's Toad impressions were spot on for my experience with this game. EDIT: Also, one of my favorite games of this year on the docket for next week!? HECK YES!
Nice play through. It's important to not prompt the slipstream step before following the prompts preceding it. Follow the dashboard steps in order or it may affect your total advancement and position. This is especially crucial if you were to pay in advance mode with all the mods.
No Tower of Destiny? Also, some extra clarifications on the rules. You can pay one heat in any turn to boost and do the same action as with stress, high risk and high reward. Also when you spin out you get extra stress cards depeding on your gear. We love this game, we play it a lot in the our board game club events
Been looking forward to this one honestly. Please play Gloomhaven, would love to see you guys play just a part of it! Love the content you guys put out!
Sully looks like his feathers have been ruffled, like he's in desperate need of a good night's sleep. Or a good week's sleep. Is he alright or does he just look like that normally and I've not noticed?
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.
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.
Actually don't use this solely to decide because they botched several rules in playing this game. I strongly recommend watching the tutorial video from the channel "Watch It Played" to get an accurate understanding of the rules as well.
A little tip. You pay heat for violating corners last in your turn AFTER you get your cooldown. So you can manage your heat even closer to the limit. Great show!
Holly wasn’t playing the React boost action correctly. She needed to flip cards from her deck until she drew a speed card. She played her 5th card out of her hand which is incorrect. Adam may have won if she hadn’t played this incorrectly. She states at the end. I may not have “put” that fifth card down. Time stamps @ 22:29 (places down) and 24:30 (states playing 5 cards) and 1:12:23. Rematch Adam??? Boost rule, “For each + symbol played you will add an unknown value between 1 and 4 to your Speed. This is done by flipping the top card of your draw deck, If it is a Basic card, add it to your Play Area, otherwise immediately put it in the discard pile and keep flipping until you find a Basic card.”
Only a couple of minutes in, but this seems *very* similar to the old Formula D Board Game, I spent hours playing that with my family as a kid so this should be good!
I would say it has more in common with the racing game "Automobiles" from AEG than "Formula D/De", since "Heat" and "Automobiles" both draw from a random pool of either cards or cubes, while "Formula D/De" is a roll and move game.
I’m actually very interested in Ear Man, though I wanna rename him to Earshot. He’d probably be a student at the academy leaning to better his hearing through his hands, eventually actually being able to hear through walls and such with his hand-ears.
Maybe as his power develops, his ability could extend into being able to sense vibrations through his hands, making him able to detect people from a miles away, like how a snake feels vibrations. Maybe he can even master his skill to be able to project vibrations through his hands, like a sonic shock wave. Could use it to demolish builds, mess with sonar, predict the trajectory of flying objects or navigate in the dark like a bat. He could have a signature move called Sonic Clap, where he claps his hands together and creates a subsonic boom, that can disable foes, causing pain, nausea, and debilitation.
Great channel. I hadnt seen Fun Employment. Well worth it. I added blanks. Each person could add 5 jobs and 5 objects as well leading to some very spicy rude games.
I haven't bought this game yet, but I've seen it played so many times that i almost know it as if i played it and I LOVE IT! It's probably one of the best board games I've seen around in years!
Loved the video BUT when you spin out you get the stress cards IN YOUR HAND not your discard. Plus, it wasn't touched upon much but you can use a "boost" action each turn to draw a card like stress actions to gain one more speed value
I remember watching Shut Up & Sit Down's video on this one and it really seems like a great design, and now I get to see it played by one of my other favorite board game channels! Hooray for board games!
As an auto racing fan, this game looks like so much fun to play! I'll have to pick up a copy of it for myself. Also, like Adam, I have a Mini Cooper, mine being a 2019 JCW and I love it. So much fun to drive.
It's return of the Goggles-Blair! Also, I must say watching this game in action played by you really gives me to urge to buy this game. Oof, I've resisted for so long ....
i love the games where from the outside you're like _why_ and _how_ is that a board game (like this one, the Fast & Furious one or Sniper Elite) but that then end up being really entertaining!
18:45 I'm pretty sure these cars are from the late sixties era of F1. The green and yellow livery on the car on the cover suggests a Brabham BT20 so we are looking at '66 or '67 probably
Another car racing game woo! Y'all should try Rallyman GT someday! It's a dice pool game system that is super accessible, yet surprisingly accurate to the concepts of actual car races! A favorite of my home game table!
You are allowed to bool down/boost BEFORE deciding if you want to slipstream. Players were getting asked if they wanted to slipstream before checking if they could cool down. Stop short of a corner, behind someone and if you can cool down, you cool down AND THEN you can slipstream around the corner and have some heat in engine to pay the costs.

"This is a simple game. There are 9 phases. THIS IS SIMPLE, TRUST ME" feels like dialogue out of a Game Changer episode.
The trick to this game is that you are already playing and you were born poor.
This is gold, both of you
"sorry; poor is a status condition, and when you have it, all of your debt is "real" and has a definite, fixed value. There's another status condition called "rich," which makes all of your debt not mean anything anymore, but you cannot achieve it."

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

Unless he was a Supervillan, because then he would be "Ear-vil"
Considering Adam's distinctive feature in every drawing is a massive johnson, the name Schlong Adam fits really well

No Tower of Destiny?
Also, some extra clarifications on the rules. You can pay one heat in any turn to boost and do the same action as with stress, high risk and high reward. Also when you spin out you get extra stress cards depeding on your gear.
We love this game, we play it a lot in the our board game club events
Blair dropping the Kuzco in there gets completely steamrolled by Adam doing Bianca's theme song.
let’s gooooo! Just don’t ever stop doing these videos , they keep me going
Been looking forward to this one honestly. Please play Gloomhaven, would love to see you guys play just a part of it! Love the content you guys put out!
I seem to remember Gloomhaven having like 8 different resources and was a bitch and a half to learn. Unless I'm thinking of a different game.
Oh wow! I just started this, but watched a “watch it played” video for this a couple months back. Incredible coincidence
I love seeing Blair she is the embodiment of Chaos
Sully looks like his feathers have been ruffled, like he's in desperate need of a good night's sleep. Or a good week's sleep. Is he alright or does he just look like that normally and I've not noticed?
@@arandombard1197 Ah, that explains it. He does look pretty rough, I can't blame him
I am sold on this board game and I am once again reminded this is the best channel ThEaLgoRiThM has shown me in years.
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.
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.
Been thinking about picking this up for time. I will use this video solely to decide.
Actually don't use this solely to decide because they botched several rules in playing this game. I strongly recommend watching the tutorial video from the channel "Watch It Played" to get an accurate understanding of the rules as well.
Laurie being Ferrari's best strategist so far this year
A little tip. You pay heat for violating corners last in your turn AFTER you get your cooldown. So you can manage your heat even closer to the limit. Great show!
Holly wasn’t playing the React boost action correctly. She needed to flip cards from her deck until she drew a speed card. She played her 5th card out of her hand which is incorrect. Adam may have won if she hadn’t played this incorrectly. She states at the end. I may not have “put” that fifth card down. Time stamps @ 22:29 (places down) and 24:30 (states playing 5 cards) and 1:12:23. Rematch Adam???
Boost rule, “For each + symbol played you will add an unknown value between 1 and 4 to your Speed. This is done by flipping the top card of your draw deck, If it is a Basic card, add it to your Play Area, otherwise immediately put it in the discard pile and keep flipping until you find a Basic card.”
This…. Loads of people miss the boost action
Only a couple of minutes in, but this seems *very* similar to the old Formula D Board Game, I spent hours playing that with my family as a kid so this should be good!
Def similar, just replaces dice with cards
I would say it has more in common with the racing game "Automobiles" from AEG than "Formula D/De", since "Heat" and "Automobiles" both draw from a random pool of either cards or cubes, while "Formula D/De" is a roll and move game.
It's even more similar to Flamme Rouge, designed by the same person.
I’m actually very interested in Ear Man, though I wanna rename him to Earshot. He’d probably be a student at the academy leaning to better his hearing through his hands, eventually actually being able to hear through walls and such with his hand-ears.
Maybe as his power develops, his ability could extend into being able to sense vibrations through his hands, making him able to detect people from a miles away, like how a snake feels vibrations.
Maybe he can even master his skill to be able to project vibrations through his hands, like a sonic shock wave. Could use it to demolish builds, mess with sonar, predict the trajectory of flying objects or navigate in the dark like a bat.
He could have a signature move called Sonic Clap, where he claps his hands together and creates a subsonic boom, that can disable foes, causing pain, nausea, and debilitation.
@@sunsoar1822 with the side effect of pain and tinnitus, of course.
Yay, Heat is great. Would like to see Ra (works great at 5) or Mission Red Planet (works good at 6)
That introduction to the game was amazing. Well done.
Great channel. I hadnt seen Fun Employment. Well worth it. I added blanks. Each person could add 5 jobs and 5 objects as well leading to some very spicy rude games.
Sully is the best part of these vids 😂😂😂
I haven't bought this game yet, but I've seen it played so many times that i almost know it as if i played it and I LOVE IT! It's probably one of the best board games I've seen around in years!
Yessssssssssss!!!! Instant click to see this one!!! Been dying to see you guys try this.
Loved the video BUT when you spin out you get the stress cards IN YOUR HAND not your discard. Plus, it wasn't touched upon much but you can use a "boost" action each turn to draw a card like stress actions to gain one more speed value
I remember watching Shut Up & Sit Down's video on this one and it really seems like a great design, and now I get to see it played by one of my other favorite board game channels! Hooray for board games!
the game doesn't seem to be for me, but love the atmosphere between you guys. so... lets subscribe
I had an Audi A2 from 2003. Slow car and it wobbled when the windscreen wiper was on! Loved it though. I still think they look cool.
picked up a copy today, after friendly shop keeper pointed it out. I remembered watching this video ages ago!
As an auto racing fan, this game looks like so much fun to play! I'll have to pick up a copy of it for myself. Also, like Adam, I have a Mini Cooper, mine being a 2019 JCW and I love it. So much fun to drive.
Being a fellow Mini owner, I too was happy to hear that at least one of the NRB crew has some taste in cars.
43:36 OUCH! That silence though...everybody felt that for Holly😳
Finally was able to procure a copy of Heat a couple of days ago. Quite a bit of fun
It's my birthday and you're playing a racing game!!! It's official I love you guys!!!
I was waiting for this all week❤
MORE OF THIS GAME PLEASE, THIS WAS AWESOME
You guys are a fun lot to watch. great game.
played this at UK games expo, it was really fun
It's return of the Goggles-Blair!
Also, I must say watching this game in action played by you really gives me to urge to buy this game. Oof, I've resisted for so long ....
PEDAL TO THE METAL, FEEL THE SURGE
IT'S THE INVOCATION OF THE THAUMATURGE
i love the games where from the outside you're like _why_ and _how_ is that a board game (like this one, the Fast & Furious one or Sniper Elite) but that then end up being really entertaining!
I absolutely love the confessionals like its a reality show lol😂😂
31:40 Adam's face is PURE EFFING GOLD.
e: 58:08 I mean come on, perfection
Dice Throne is a really nice game, i would love to see a video of you guys playing it
I really love this game, please play more of this 🥺
Perfect timing now Daniel Ricardo is back in F1💪🏼💪🏼
holly "i don't care if i win or lose" musgrave making an appearance at the end there
Wow this is giving me vibes of Table Top... Love it
I’ve been on the fence about getting this. It’s on my Wishlist for sure now.
I love that we can now see Adam's nervous legs under the table.
I would loveee to see you guys try grass is greener!!
This looks fantastic! And congrats to Holly - hard lines to Adam😉
what a good an gracious winner, as always. get on board
18:45 I'm pretty sure these cars are from the late sixties era of F1. The green and yellow livery on the car on the cover suggests a Brabham BT20 so we are looking at '66 or '67 probably
Another car racing game woo! Y'all should try Rallyman GT someday! It's a dice pool game system that is super accessible, yet surprisingly accurate to the concepts of actual car races! A favorite of my home game table!
You are allowed to bool down/boost BEFORE deciding if you want to slipstream. Players were getting asked if they wanted to slipstream before checking if they could cool down.
Stop short of a corner, behind someone and if you can cool down, you cool down AND THEN you can slipstream around the corner and have some heat in engine to pay the costs.
