It removes the crayon aspect from network building in the original edition, while retaining the fluctuating commodities market like Crude: The Oil Game and an auction round intensity reminiscent of The Princes of Florence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe objective of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, as plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage, and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the 'renewable' windfarm\/ solar plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAWARDS \u0026amp; HONORS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2020 Guldbrikken Best Adult Game Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2011 Jocul Anului în România Best Game in Romanian Finalist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Winner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Nederlandse Spellenprijs Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Japan Boardgame Prize Voters' Selection Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Gouden Ludo Winner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2010 Gouden Ludo Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2009 Juego del Año Finalist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2008 Ludoteca Ideale Official Selection Winner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2008 Lucca Games Best Game Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2008 Lucca Games Best Boardgame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2008 Hra roku Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2007 Hra roku Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2007 Gra Roku Game of the Year Winner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2007 Gra Roku Game of the Year Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2005 Spiel des Jahres Recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2004 Tric Trac Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2004 Tric Trac d'Argent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2004 Meeples' Choice Award\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2004 International Gamers Awards - General Strategy; Multi-player Nominee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Asmodee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48044007915572,"sku":"BH-57676257","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/6195\/0516\/files\/655132005593-power-grid-recharged-1.jpg?v=1784376085","url":"https:\/\/toyhero.co.nz\/products\/power-grid-recharged","provider":"Toy Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
