Power Grid - 2 May 2012

Another great game of Power Grid, this time the Russia map - the Eastern steppes occupied by Kieron and Stu, the Western lands far more compressed and host to James, Adrian, Andy and Orhan.  The gameplay was incredibly close with some players expanding steadily, others holding back then surging.  It all went down to the wire: with three players able to power 14 cities the tie-breaker was our cash holdings, and Andy came out triumphant. Final scores: Andy 14 cities 63 dollars, Adrian 14 cities 8 dollars, Kieron 14 cities 5 dollars, James 12 cities 28 dollars, Stu 12 cities 2 dollars, and Orhan 11 cities.
