That's because he now has a box to keep all his extra maps in.

While that is nice they all do fit in the main box without the insert. Though I don't think many more will.

...but then you gotta find somewhere to store all the bits. I store all the bits in my Megawatts box, and all the maps (including Quebec/France) in the main Power Grid box.

Hmm .. most propably, this is due to the fact, that he is a German engineer working under German circumstances. So there is nothing for him to be happy about ..

You wouldn't worry half as much about what other people thought of you if you realized how rarely they actually did.

I don't understand the Quebec/France map. They already did a France Italy map. And where can you get that map? I have all the others but haven't seen that one listed with any of our distributors at my store.

you got it.
you all made power grid to a successfully game.
so there is no reason for the engineer to look so dourly anymore.

thanks to you all (btw. i get money for each sold game, so you find that smile on my face, too).

edit:i wondered the whole time, that nobody noticed it.

I was inspired by this picture and wrong a song.

Ich bin a citizen of Stuttgart
many jahren vor I did start
zee career of a humble engineer

mein job recieves no praises
und I recieve no raises
but I love my lowly occupation just the same

wenn alles ist in ordenung
zis is zee song ich immer sung
wir will make every robot run all right
und wir machine to grade every gun
und my requests are but this one:
be kind to your German engineers!

und du have to understand
i am just zee kind of man
and i have to make sure everyzing is right

wenn every bolt is put in place
und zee machine is neatly braced
und every leettle screw is in so tight

it fiels me with a joy inside
a wholesome sacred inner pride
when my machines kann suit the needs of man

if your machine has become kaputt
your auger will not drill a foot
who can make it work properly? I kann!

wenn alles ist in ordenung
zis is zee song ich immer sung
wir will make every robot run all right
und wir machine to grade every gun
und my requests are but this one:
be kind to your German engineers!

My box has Power Grid, Power Grid: France/Italy, Power Grid: Benelux/Central Europe, Power Grid: China/Korea and Power Grid: The New Power Plant Cards with all associated bits. As you can see it all fits. It is a good thing that Power Grid: Brazil/Spain & Portugal comes with it's own box as there is now no more room left. Well except for Power Grid: Flux Generator, Power Grid: Transformer Station and possibly another power plant deck.

I would also like to see the Quebec map from Mégawatts produced as an expansion map.

EDIT: Picture pending mod approval, if it doesn't make it through I'll put it in my gallery.

This is from the French language edition. It was produced as Mégawatts.

arg, just thought: "hell, i forget canada at the back of the box."

but it´s no expansion so far, so it`s ok that it isn`t at the world map.
same to baden-würtemberg.

puh, it`s not a mistake.

half of my job is to explain, that things are no mistakes.

The guy in Brazil is happy because he works for a State owned company, which means he only went to work to take the picture and he'll never get fired.
