Power Grid

Power Grid Power Grid is the updated release of the Friedemann Friese crayon game Funkenschlag. It removes the crayon aspect from network building in the original edition, while retaining the fluctuating commodities market like Crude: The Oil Game and an auction round intensity reminiscent of The Princes of Florence. The objective of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities. However, as plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment. Additionally, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage, and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the 'renewable' windfarm/ solar plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes. How to Play The rules can be found inside the mod on the table. About this mod This mod has the rules on the table, so there is no need to search for them or tab out of the game to read them. Also a custom background was added for better atmosphere. The table has a lot more space then other mods. If i find some time i am going to script the resource refresh phase since that is just busy work and not much fun. Support Rio Grande If you like this game, support Rio Grande by buying this game.
