What is Barrage
In the dystopic 1930s, the industrial revolution pushed the exploitation of fossil-based resources to the limit, and now the only thing powerful enough to quench the thirst for power of the massive machines and of the unstoppable engineering progress is the unlimited hydroelectric energy provided by the rivers.
Barrage is a resource management strategic game in which players compete to build their majestic dams, raise them to increase their storing capacity, and deliver all the potential power through pressure tunnels connected to the energy turbines of their powerhouses.
Each player represents one of the four international companies who are gathering machinery, innovative patents and brilliant engineers to claim the best locations to collect and exploit the water of a contested Alpine region crossed by rivers.
Over five rounds, the players must fulfill power requirements represented by a common competitive power track and meet specific requests of personal contracts. At the same time, by placing a limited number of engineers, they attempt to enhance their machinery to acquire new and more efficient construction actions and to build and activate special unique-effect buildings to forward their own developing strategy.

Sin fundas
Locura de juego, probablemente el MÁS dificil de todos los juegos que tengo. Es un juego que vas agobiado constantemente y que te hace pensar a 4 turnos vista y se te puede joder todo en un momento, realmente me duele la cabeza cuando acabo de jugar y si es a muchos jugadores más aun. Hay infinidad de posibilidades y seguramente sea uno de los juegos a los que más AP le meto porque nunca estoy conforme con la jugada.

2-4 Best for 4
retail version. Excellent game for 4, 3 and 2 players, lot of interaction and easy rules but hard to master. Recommended +++
I can't forget that powerplants don't work like that, it's a nonsense

Juegazo de gestionar los caudales de unos ríos y presas, para aprovechar que generen electricidad. Tiene unas mecánicas y un estilo de juego bastante original y es un quema-cerebros sin escrúpulos XD Grandísimo juego, quiero jugarlo mucho más para valorar mejor, pero quizá de lo mejor del 2019 y más con la edición de Maldito
