Title:
Power Grid: Deluxe
Description:
North America and Europe maps. Power Grid deluxe is a standalone game with a completely new graphic design. Although the occasion is the 10th anniversary, this is not a limited edition! Furthermore it does not replace “Power Grid” – both games will be available from now on!
The game is still Power Grid, with all the exciting auctions, the nerve-wracking resource speculations, city networks and the competition among the players, all the way to the tight game ending with several players fighting for the win.
The goal of Power Grid Deluxe is to supply the most cities with power when someone’s network reaches a predetermined size. Players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they need to power these cities. However, as power plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you’re potentially allowing others access to superior equipment.
What’s more, players must acquire the resources (coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the ”renewable” windfarm 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.
