Purchased on Mighty Ape

Power Grid India & Australia Expansion takes the base game and introduces a whole bunch on different dynamics for a familiar but fresh take on what is already my favourite game. In this expansion, the different characteristics of the Australian and Indian power markets are synthesised, without requiring any new pieces from the original game (except the board). It's really well designed and requires different strategies to win with.

One thing that annoyed me a little is the Australia map is deliberately ‘upside-down’. This seems to be a hilarious joke for northern hemispherers but I found it meant I kept thinking 6's were 9's and vice versa.

Description

Power Grid: Australia/Indian Subcontinent is a pair of expansions for Power Grid!

Australia does not have a single connected power network. Only in the populated regions, mainly in the south east, are several cities connected to each other. Because of this, players may connect to any city for a connection cost that's generally higher than normal. Australia does not use uranium for its power production, but it does mine huge amounts of the material to sell to other countries. This offers a completely new game element, even for experienced Power Grid players!

The Indian Subcontinent is always in danger of suffering huge power outages if the players increase their networks too quickly. Additionally, the players must buy their resources on a limited resource market, which does not always guarantee enough resources for all players.
