A good turnout this week with 6 rivals braving the cold weather in the last session before the Christmas. So it was Power Grid again!
We played on the Korea map and decided to create a bottle neck by blanking off the central purple sector. We also played with the top 6 power cards added to the basic power station stack to hopefully create some tempting high value buys later in the game.
Deej decided to set up camp in the expensive North with Adrian. James decided to do the dirty on Andy in the tight central section and Kieron and Stuart had a cosy arrangement in the south. Andy became blocked in due to various dastardly moves but managed to accumulate tonnes of money and control resources by stocking up. He had enough breathing space to expand slowly though. Phase 2 of the game lasted for ages as a combination of nuclear and rubbish stations blocked the top row. By the time the good stations arrived, panic set in and we realised that Andy and James were close to winning. More dastardly moves bocked James' final expansion but Andy had managed to break into South Korea and could power 14 cities for the victory.
Andy 14 powered cities, Stuart 12, Deej 11(w*), Kieron 11, Adrian 11, James 9(w*)
