Heat: Tunnel Vision is an expansion for Heat: Pedal to the Metal released in 2025 for 1–7 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Asger Aleksandrov Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Race, and Push Your Luck.
The roar of powerful engines bursts from the dark mouth of the Pyrenean tunnel just moments before gleaming cars streak past. One mistake could mean certain destruction, but the lure of the Spanish Grand Prix keeps the drivers focused and aggressive. Heat: Tunnel Vision introduces two new racing tracks. The Spanish Grand Prix takes your car through treacherous tunnels, forcing you to trust your instincts in the semi-dark. The Netherlands track allows you to open your engine to full throttle before throwing you into a succession of treacherous corners. Take part in the 1965 Championship season and install the new Front Wing upgrade to draft off the other drivers and charge to victory. This second expansion brings chicanes and tunnels for more technical and high-intensity races, front wing upgrade cards, and new event cards, in addition to expanding the player count to seven by adding a purple driver (or eight with the Heavy Rain expansion).
Heat: Tunnel Vision supports 1–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Heat: Tunnel Vision is 30–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Heat: Tunnel Vision for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Heat: Tunnel Vision has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Heat: Tunnel Vision belongs to these categories: Racing, Expansion for Base-game, and Sports. Its main mechanics are Hand Management, Race, and Push Your Luck.

The credited designers of Heat: Tunnel Vision are: Asger Aleksandrov Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Heat: Tunnel Vision as an expansion for Heat: Pedal to the Metal. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Heat: Pedal to the Metal to use it. Check that your edition of Heat: Pedal to the Metal is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
