Title: POWER GRID.
Post by: jcardwell3rd on April 19, 2011, 08:51:35 am
Hi all!

Has anyone played power grid?
How is it?

A freind just bought it and we are sort of waiting to play it. How long does it take to play for you?
Any FAQ type stuff we should be made aware of before learning the rules?

Thanks...

I own and have played Power Grid. It is a very enjoyable game.

The rule book is not linear in some areas and creates some confusion on the rules.

Here is an instruction video that was posted on BGG.

Here are some links to a helpful file on BGG:

Have fun.

It's a good game, although we don't play it as often as we would like.

I would suggest that you check out the instructional video linked to above as, at Matt said, the rules can be quite confusing for first time play.
