What is Haute Tension
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.

What the community says about Haute Tension
Juego de reglas sencillas que consigue partidas interesantes con la subasta de centrales y un mercado muy ajustado. Saber controlar el tempo de la partida es fundamental si quieres ganar.
[b]Primera partida[/b] (8/10) Extraordinario juego de gestión, económico y de rutas. Se debe jugar como mínimo a 4 o 5 jugadores. [b]Quinta partida[/b] (9/10) Euro clásico de los que ya no se diseñan. Requerie de numerosos cálculos para optimizar, si se quiere planificar el turno eficientemente. El juego dispone de mecánica compensatoria para los jugadores atrasados que cuando se conoce, se usa como una estrategia más de la que ofrece el juego. Lo mejor, es que lo he jugado con todo tipo de jugadores, no defraudó a ninguno. Me gusta mucho sin llegar a enamorar. Nunca digo no, a un Power Grid.

Sencillo de aprender, que no de dominar, y divertido de jugar. Mucha estrategia, especialmente cuantos más jugadores hay en juego. Entretenido y desafiante
Gran juego de gestion y subasta. Al final la cosa siempre esta en quien conecte mas ciudades pese a lo que dice las reglas ya que normalmente se pueden suministrar todas. Muy igualado siempre que hemos jugado. Hace honor a su nombre.
