Episode 14 - House Rules and Power Grid

In this episode, we reveal that we are now officially a member of the Dice Tower Network! After that craziness, we talk about house rules and review the classic economic-style game, Power Grid.





Following my admittedly brief rules overview, how about some pictures?


The Germany side of the board. Players will use only use one region per player, so the map becomes smaller with fewer people at the table.


 The artwork on the board is really interesting and spices up what could have been a dull map.


The houses which you will be placing to build out your network.


The resources you need to fuel your plants. From left to right: coal, oil, garbage, and uranium.


You'll be purchasing your resources from this track. The farther a resource is towards the left, the cheaper it is.


An example of some power plants with their resources, ready to give you the juice!


The game board a number of turns in. You really get a feel for your network growing in this game.


Ah paper money, nobody likes you...


We replaced the paper money with these superior poker chips. Huzzah!
