Power Grid
Notes
We
are playing on the Central Europe map and a random combined deck. Power
Grid + and Energy Crisis are both in play (2 yes, 1 no, 1 abstention),
and the Promo cards are also in play (2 yes, 0 no, 2
abstentions). Please review the Energy
Crisis
variant rules on the website. Note that there is the possibility
of two Warehouses to be in play, one from Energy Crisis and one from
the Promo cards. They have a slightly different effect and are
distinguished by the fact that the Energy Crisis Warehouse has a
mininmum bid of 7 while the Promo Warehouse has a minimum bid of 10 and
is immediately bid on when it is drawn.

End of Game
End of Game Statements
Dave Hooton (Łódź of Fun):
I made a near-fatal mistake during Round 9 Fuel Purchases by not buying
3 more garbage. If I hadn't spent 46 Elektro to replace my Trash 3→7
plant with a Coal 2→7 plant, Bill could have bought 2 trash and making
me power only 13 cities this turn. If I had 5 less Elektro this turn,
Bill would have won the game on Round 11, assuming Andy only building
19 cities on Round 10.
Thanks, Chris, for running it.
Andy York (Texas Railroad Commission): Wow, much better result for me than I was expecting for much of the game - ending up short one power capacity...not sure how that happened. Excellent win Dave, and thanks to Chris for running the game.
Kevin Wilson (Keleti Energia):
I chose to start off in the middle with an idea to block access to the
southern cities. It seemed to work as only Bill and I really had any
supply there but I ran out of capacity when I guess I bid too high for
#50+. If only Bill had known 2 more and I would have passed. Then, a
couple turns later I made an error throwing out #37 not really wanting
it but hoping someone else would to buy a little time and ended up with
it. It helped but didn’t really give enough and just ran out of power
capacity.
Congrats to Dave on an impressive win, thanks to the others for the game and to Chris, as always, for running it.
Bill Scharf (20th Century Unlimited):
Thanks for running the game, and congrats to Dave on winning it. I’m
still having some timing issues, I believe if I do things a turn before
I actually do them, my game would improve immeasurably, but who knows.
First game with energy crisis….or at least the first game where I
understood what was going on. I liked oils improved flexibility, the
others, not as much (one more fuel needed, one less city powered,
variable amount of power supplied)… interesting though….
