Power Grid
Notes
We
are playing on the France map and a random combined deck with Power
Grid+ and the Promo cards. Energy
Crisis expansion is not in play (2 in favor, 2 opposed, 1 abstain).
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.

End of Game
End of Game Statements
Chris Geggus (GEGS): Well done Dave yet again. This game is still a big learning curve for me, particularly as all my plans continue to be scuppered by bad timing on my part. Whenever I think I've got it sussed, it goes awry again. Still enjoy it and always willing to keep hammering away. Thanks to Chris for controlling the game and continuing to patiently correct me on so many occasions.
Kevin Wilson (Meilleure Énergie): Well, I knew I couldn’t stop him but if he didn’t/couldn’t win, then I wanted to be in the best spot I could be to make a run next time. That one turn when I guessed wrong and ended up first when I didn’t want to bid first was my undoing. One little mistake, ugh. Congrats to Dave and thanks, as always, to Chris for running the game. Still a load of fun.
Bill Scharf (Power United): Congratulations to Dave on his win, and thanks Chris for running it. Always a fun game, as usual, I enjoyed playing it.
Andy York (TRC): Congrats to Dave on his strong win, and for Chris's fine GMing. Not my finest outing, just couldn't put things together this time around.
