Power Grid is the updated release of the Friedemann Friese crayon game Funkenschlag. The latest cooperative publishing effort from Friedemann Friese and Rio Grande Games, removes the crayon aspect from network building in the original edition while retaining the fluctuating commodities market like McMulti and an auction round intensity reminiscent of The Princes of Florence.
The object 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 vie against other players to purchase the power plants that you use to supply the power. However, as plants are purchased, newer more efficient plants become available so you're potentially allowing others to access to superior equipment merely by purchasing at all. Additionally, players must acquire the raw materials, like coal, oil, garbage, or uranium, to power said plants (except for the highly valuable 'renewable energy' wind/solar plants), 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.

Expansions in the form of new double-sided game boards include Power Grid - Italy/France and Power Grid - Benelux/Central Europe. These expansions change the game by not only changing the characteristics of the geography, but also by changing the rules for power plant availability, resource availability, tying plant ownership and/or resource availability and/or price to geographic regions on the map, etc.
Number of Players:
It is generally agreed by Power Grid fans that the game is at its best when played with 4 or 5 players, with 3 or 6 players also decent. Some consider the two-player game to be terrible (only worthwhile as a way to get acquainted with the rules), while some consider it to be "OK but still not as good as with more players."
Microbadges:  - Coal,  - Oil,  - Trash,  - Nuke,  - Fan.
