Heat Pedal to the Metal

2–6 players
ShirlWith the 2026 F1 season approaching, my husband and I have been loving Heat: Pedal to the Metal. It’s easy to learn but really captures the excitement of racing as you push your car’s speed while carefully managing heat. The game includes clever racing mechanics like slipstreaming and DRS boosts, and you can mix things up with weather and road condition effects that keep every race feeling different. Championship mode can get surprisingly competitive (be warned!) as you battle it out over a full season. You don’t have to be a motorsport fan to enjoy this fast-paced and thrilling board game!

Wyrmspan

1–4 players
LizzyBought this for my husband at Christmas and we love it! It's perfect for fans of Wingspan but not too similar so definitely okay to have both! Wyrmspan not only introduces a whole new range of creatures with incredible descriptions, but also a very different set of objectives and game play that makes it feel fresh and new. This is also a longer game than Wingspan and ends up going for over an hour at least we've found!
