PLAYED FOR YOU

Funkenschlag

Quebec / Baden-Württemberg

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 in phase 4 a player has connected a minimum of 20 cities, the player with the most connected cities wins. 

Quebec: The focus is on energy production by ecological water power stations - when they appear they are not removed until they are bought or replaced. Power stations 13, 18 and 22 are stacked on top of the stack that was prepared, 22 as the lowest one, then 18 and 13 on top.

Baden-Württemberg: The sequence of phases in a round is changed, first you auction the power station and then you adapt the order of play; some supra-regional cities can only be connected from Level 2 on. When no power stations are sold, the two smallest ones are removed and replaced from the supply pile. When in phase 3 a power station is displayed with a number lower than or equal to the number of cities held by the player with most connected cities, this power station is not taken out of play. Level 2 begins after phase 4 when the first player has connected 9, 6 or 5 cities, according to the respective number of players.
