Power Grid (Recharged) is an electrifying reimagining of Friedemann Friese's classic game, Funkenschlag. This updated edition retains the heart of the original while introducing fresh dynamics that will keep you on your toes!

Gone is the crayon element, but don't worry—this game remains a powerhouse of excitement with its dynamically shifting commodities market. Fans of strategic bidding will feel right at home during intense auction rounds reminiscent of The Princes of Florence. Your mission? Supply the most cities with power before any player connects a predetermined number of cities to their electrical network.

Choose your strategy carefully as you mark existing routes between cities and dive headfirst into competitive bidding for vital power plants to fuel your growing empire. Be vigilant! As you acquire power plants, better and more efficient options will soon hit the market, providing your competitors the chance to boost their capabilities.

The gameplay challenges you to secure essential raw materials—coal, oil, garbage, and uranium—to keep your power plants operational. And don’t overlook renewable energy sources! Wind and solar plants offer fuel-free alternatives, allowing you to explore sustainable strategies that can turn the tide in your favor.

Experience the exhilarating balance of upgrading for maximum efficiency while rapidly expanding your network. It’s a constant race to access the most cost-effective routes while outsmarting your rivals. Immerse yourself in the intricate strategies and market dynamics of Power Grid (Recharged) and compete to become the ultimate power supplier!
