Chris Geggus (GEGS): Thanks Chris and well played Dave. I didn't even see what was happening until that last turn, but I still count myself as a complete novice at the game. I enjoy it, but I do seem to struggle to coordinate the various aspects. I hope I can think a bit further ahead next time around.

Andy York (TRC): Congrats to Dave for his well deserved win, and thanks to Chris for another smartly run, fun, game.

This is a very crowded, map. Plus, the delayed appearance of the Stage 3 card, made it one of the oddest games of Power Grid I've played. Enjoyed myself none-the-less.

Bill Scharf (Tegtmeyer): I’ve been out of contention for several turns now. When I saw the two wind power plants I flipped the cost and number of cities....so the plant I bought that I thought would make sense to replace was anything but! To get 18 cities powered I would have to replace all three plants! Dumb move I wouldn’t have made In FTf play, oh well. Going first in this game is the kiss of death. Too easy to get surrounded by the other players. At least I avoided that this game.

Dave Hooton (BWPC): Thanks, Chris, for running this game. My main worry going into the last round was having to buy only a 4-city plant, knowing that 6-city and 7-city plants were on the way. Fortunately, my previously-bought plants gave me enough of a lead. Another big factor was the coal shortage. I was very close to being shut out, but the special turn order change for this map came to my rescue. Finally, it seemed that Stage 2 lasted longer than usual, leading to a very abbreviated Stage 3.
