Heat: Scout

Heat: Scout opens like a classic Abstract game, then quickly reveals Solo layers that reward long-form table memory. Its Abstract framework encourages risky pivots, especially once table politics reshape priorities. Round structure forces meaningful tradeoffs between tempo and efficiency; over 4 chapters, even small resource leaks become strategic liabilities. Component design supports readability at scale: icon-first cards, layered reference boards, and phase reminders keep late-game turns moving. The late game stays dramatic without becoming random, making each finale feel like the natural consequence of earlier risks.
