Heat: Rocky Roads Expansion Guide
Heat: Rocky Roads is the 2026 track expansion for Heat. It adds two circuits—South Africa and Germany—plus new upgrades, Championship content and another complete player set.
What Rocky Roads adds
- Double-sided board with 2 circuits
- South Africa and Germany Track cards
- 1 additional race car, gear pawn and player mat
- 12 Basic cards, 15 Heat and 5 Stress cards
- 15 Upgrade cards
- 7 Sponsorship cards and 4 Event cards
South Africa: gravel
The South African Grand Prix introduces gravel on the track. Losing control over gravel creates another reason to manage speed conservatively and preserve Heat flexibility.
Germany: chicanes
The German track places new chicanes along a long straight. The challenge is not simply reaching high speed, but shedding it repeatedly at the correct moments.
Sliding-skirt upgrades
Rocky Roads includes new advanced upgrade content themed around sliding skirts, adding another way to tune car performance for the expansion tracks.
1966 Championship season
The expansion adds Championship material for the 1966 season.
Seventh-player support
A full player set raises the human player count to seven when combined with the Heat base game.
Who should add Rocky Roads?
Rocky Roads is ideal for experienced Heat groups that already understand efficient Heat management and want tracks that punish poor speed control more aggressively.
