Power Grid
Notes
We
are playing on the Germany map and a designer combined deck with Power
Grid+ and the Promo cards. Energy
Crisis expansion is not in play (nobody in favor).
Power plants will be
noted in the following format: XX Fuel I→O
(FF), where XX is the power plant number, “Fuel” is the type of
fuel it takes, I is the number of inputs, O is the number of cities
it powers, and (FF) is the amount of fuel stored on it, if any.
In this game, "Trash" is actually Biogas and will be labeled as such.

End of Game Statements
Dave Hooton (Platz des Funke Musik): This was a squeaker. With equal power capacity and nearly equal cash, it all cam down to denying Bill his 16th city before the Step 3 card came out. Thanks to Chris for running the game. BTW, my company name is an attempt at a bilingual music pun.
Andy York (Texas Railroad Commission):
Congrats to Dave in his win, and appreciation to Chris for steering the
game smoothly. I had a lackluster performance, plans just not gelling
the way one would hope. But, an enjoyable time nevertheless.
Bill Scharf (Bauernschlau, Unlimited): Unusual game for me. I was first in line for power plants for a significant part of the game (since no higher value plant than the one I owned became available) and no more powerful plants became available, so I passed on power plants and continue to buy fuel last for a long stretch, not a good combination. Why was the game unusual? Because I wasn’t frozen out of contention early in the game, lol.
Kevin Wilson (Die Energiegesellschaft):
The last time I picked up the warehouse it made all the difference.
This time, a complete waste of funds. That or I over paid. Regardless,
I was chasing the pack the remainder of the game with the better plants
being too expensive. I felt I had good network access just not enough
cash to capitalize. Such is the game I guess. Congrats to
Dave on a nice win. Thanks to the others for playing. Thanks to Chris
for his usual superb GM job.
