## Overview

Power Grid Recharged is a sophisticated strategy board game for 2-6 players aged 12+, featuring 120 minutes of competitive play. Players bid on power plants, manage fluctuating resources, and expand city networks to supply electricity efficiently. This updated edition removes the original crayon network building for a cleaner, faster setup while retaining deep economic and auction mechanics. Winner of multiple awards, it’s a must-have for strategy enthusiasts craving a blend of industry, economy, and eco-conscious gameplay.

## Description

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. 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.

Review: Medium heavy complexity - Great game with medium complexity for game groups with six people. My group took to the game quite easily .
