PLAYED FOR YOU

Funkenschlag

Die Aktiengesellschaften

Die Aktiengesellschaften – The Stock Companies, the 10^th expansion for Funkenschlag / Power Grid can be used with Power Grid or Power Grid deluxe and can also be combined with all other boards and power station decks. With Funkenschlag boards you use the complete board, with Funkenschlag deluxe boards you use six adjacent regions on the board. As a shareholder you try to get control of companies for greatest personal wealth. The game begins with a Stock Round, followed by two Operation rounds, then Stock and Operation rounds alternate. The game ends after five Operation rounds. In the Stock rounds you buy and sell shares. In the Operation rounds the company presidents implement the standard five phases of Power Grid.

In the variant “Die größten Stromversorger“ you want to acquire shares of those companies and will grow into the biggest one in the market and supply most cities with electricity. You play again with neutral companies. In the second variant, „Der Wettstreit der Privatunternehmen“, each player owns his private company in his own color with its own shares and tries to establish his company in the market. Sometimes you sell shares in your company to enlarge your private capital or to acquire shares of other companies. There is no separate Stock round, but a new Phase 2 Share Trade is inserted between the former Phase 1 – determine turn order and Phase 2 – buy power stations, this phase Share Trade is begun by the player in last position.

A new and unusual expansion introducing a completely new facet to Power Grid, surely a must-have for all fans of Power Grid.
