PLAYED FOR YOU

FUNKENSCHLAG

Australien / Indischer Subkontinent

Each player represents a corporation producing electricity in power stations and powering cities via an electricity network. During the game you auction for power stations and buy resources for electricity production while expanding the network to power up more cities. A round has 5 phases: Determine sequence of play, buy power stations, buy resources, building and bureaucracy, which comprises earning money, new power stations and new resources for the market. If a player has connected a minimum of 20 cities in phase 4, the player with the most connected cities wins. 

For the expansion Australien / Indischer Subkontinent the basic rules of Funkenschlag apply with the listed changes; resources are available according to special tables.

Australia: No countrywide-connected power grid, only in the South there are connected cities - so you can connect all cities for a lump sum. Uranium is not used for energy production but is mined and sold to other countries. Atomic power stations are uranium mines and do count towards the power plant limit, income is paid out in Phase 5.

Indian Subcontinent: If more than two cities per player are connected to the grid in a round, there are power blackouts and less income in Phase 5. The resources market is limited, too, you can only buy one resource in turn until all have passed. Garbage power plants burn animal waste with with a lower efficiency factor and therefore always need +1 garbage to produce electricity, but cannot store more garbage.

A very good expansion again, and this time especially interesting due to the mechanism of mining and selling uranium.
