What is 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.

Me gusto la mecanica de reposicion de materias primas... es un buen Eurogame.. tengo que explorarlo a fondo.
Juego de construcción de la mejor red de distribución de electricidad. Gestión de recursos y estrategia en la ubicación de las centrales. Interesante sistema de mercado (subastas y ordenación en mercado actual y futuro) y muy curioso la variación de precios de los recursos. Si aumenta la demanda sube el precio. Muy recomendable. Mejor con tres o cuatro jugadores. Regalo de mama por mi cumple el 16/07/09 Prestado a Monje el 21/10/2011. devuelto el 2/12/2011 vendido a iguanabento, con la exp de las nuevas centrales y el civilization por 60€ en noviembre 2014
Lo odio y lo amo al mismo tiempo. Me encanta pero se que nunca conseguire ganar a este juego...
Good eurogame, it has a reputation of brain cracker, is not but you have to play with planification and make good calculations to be effective on the gap for winning
que juego tan genial, le hace justicia a su fama
