Today, I played Power Grid.
Power Grid
Power Grid is a game of electricity production. Gameplay consists of buying factories and fuel, and supplying cities. For the number of cities you supply, you get money (more for more cities). It sounds simple, but it's not. We didn't get very far; it took a while to set up and explain, and then we only had 45 minutes left.
The mechanic of spending resources each turn to power your cities was interesting. But some of the other mechanics didn't feel like they fit together so well. Maybe things would move more smoothly later in the game.
Gameplay is relatively complex. It started to get better as the game went on, but no one's strategy really came to fruition, obviously.
The game was pretty friendly, people helping each other out trying to figure out strategy.
In conclusion, a fun game, but one I really need to finish to get a feel for.
