So, as it was pouring down rain in Arizona last night, we sat cozy in our camper, plotting electrical monopolies against each other. Power Grid is fantastic.
The rules were simple once we got a turn or two into it, and it was just good fun afterwards. Lots of forward thinking required to win that game. At one point my friend was only firing up 2 of his power plants to save resources, while I was buying up the resources - that everyone needed - in bulk to stop them firing up their power plants, and auctions were going strong for the best power plants.
2 little warnings. 1) be prepared to do a lot of math. It's just adding mostly, but when people are buying 9 coal at 3 different prices, 5 oil at 2 prices, and 7 uranium at 6 prices, it gets slightly overwhelming XD 2) the 3rd step card can get drawn at anytime, which is kinda a bummer sometimes - just a heads up.
A great game overall, and differently my favorite tabletop board game right now!
