"Great addition to Power Grid"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you own Power Grid, then this expansion should be considered. The China map requires whole new tactics, power plants come out sequentially and in short supply – so bidding was often above the card vlaue. End game resources were in severe short-supply, and buildings had to be well planned.

The Korea map with the split market certainly added a new dimension – everyone favoured the South Korea market at first, which pushed up costs quickly and the North Korean market (with limited and expensive resources) suddenly didn't look so bad!

These are challenging maps and sufficiently different from the original Power Grid board to make this a worthwhile addition.

Description

This expansion pack provides two new maps for the original Power Grid game.

On the Korean side, players are confronted first with richly varying geographical challenges, making building expensive. In addition, because of the political division between North and South, players must buy their resources from a divided market.

On the Chinese side the economy is structured as a planned economy. In this version of the game, there are no surprises. The power plants on the power plant market are offered in ascending order during the two first steps of the game. Additionally the resource table is designed such that resources are likely to be in short supply as the game proceeds. Players must plan their resource needs very carefully or find their grid dark and their incomes reduced!
