Power Grid Recharged

Engaging and thought provoking strategy game. Takes time to play, so make sure you have 90-120 minutes to best enjoy it

It's a fun game involving deep strategy. It does a fantastic job simulating real economic principles.For modern board games, I'd say the complexity level is medium-high.Highly recommended.

This game was a hit over Christmas! I bought it for a power distribution electrical engineer and the whole family enjoyed it. Even a former power finance guy who hates games had a good time! The rest of us had no relation to power and thoroughly enjoyed it as well.Reading through all the rules and understanding it fully was a bit of a challenge initially, but once we got going, it was extremely fun and competitive. I loved that it wasn't a game where people are miserable that are losing significantly; they were still enjoying it and going for the win.It is a time consuming game though, so make sure you have several hours for it. Of course that depends on the size of the group also. We played it wil 6 players and it took about 2.5 hours.The best way to describe it is Monopoly meets power distribution. If there is someone in your life that works with power and energy, they're sure to love it!

Really fun game involving strategy and economics, my favorite boardgame in the longer (~3-4 hour game) category. Most fun with 4-6 players.

We love this game. Old have better resources like the original version; the coal looks like a blob.

Power Grid is fun but not for everyone, I lost pieces of my original version so bought a new one. It plays well with two but better with more players. The rulebook and the cheapest auction card costing one are good changes. This was one of the highest rated games on Board Game Geek years ago and it holds up. Although it does not get played as much as similar weight games like The Castles of Burgundy for us.

It takes a little bit to go through all the rules but it is such an easy concept to grasp. And it’s tons of fun! If you like Ticket to Ride, Catan, and Azul you’ll love this one! It’s competitive and very strategic which is great for a game night!

This is a family favorite - in groups varying from ages 12 to 60, we have enjoyed playing Power Grid for years. This is a newer version than our old copy, and I'm buying it as a gift for a family that also enjoys board games.
