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.

Una delicia de juego. Colocación de trabajadores. El objetivo es construir presas, conductos y centrales eléctricas para gestionar el agua que cae por el río y producir energía. Es un euro duro. El dinero escasea mucho. Incorpora dos mecánicas que son muy originales e interesantes. El rondel de construcción, que bloquea los recursos hasta que se da una vuelta completa y el flujo del agua a través de los rios/conductos. La colocación en el mapa es muy importante. Además, es un juego asimétrico y cada jugador tiene un personaje combinado con un ejecutivo, cada uno de los cuales otorgan caracterí

Barrage es un euro duro de gestión y colocación de trabajadores centrado en el aprovechamiento del agua que cae de las montañas por medio de presas y centrales eléctricas para generar energía que nos permitirá cumplir contratos y ganar puntos de victoria. Es un juego con alta interacción en el que los errores se pagan caros y en el que te puedes quedar fuera de la partida si los rivales se ponen de acuerdo en ponerte las cosas difíciles. La idea del juego es magnífica y el tema está todo lo bien que se puede implementar. Las mecánicas son sólidas siendo quizá lo mas original la rueda de mater
Playtested!
Quite a mean game, where to steal access to water. Iconagraphy of end game bonus tiles is weak, otherwise excellent design, a litte long with 4 players
Amazing!
