Power Grid

In Power Grid you are in charge of a network of power plants. You build lines to cities, buy power plants at an exciting auction and make sure there is enough electricity to supply everyone. Whoever can power the most cities at the end wins. It sounds simple, but around the table it quickly becomes a fight for the best spots and the handiest plants. Every round you have to think carefully. Do you buy that plant now, or do you wait for a better one? As soon as you buy a plant, a newer and more efficient model becomes available, and your opponent can then take advantage of it. Meanwhile you need resources such as coal, oil, garbage and uranium to keep your plants running. Only the wind and solar plants need no fuel. Prices on the market keep changing, so you have to stay flexible. Power Grid is a game that makes your brain work and keeps you busy together for hours. For two to six players aged twelve and up, with a playing time of around two hours. A real recommendation for anyone who likes planning, negotiating and just a little luck at the right moment.
