Power Grid

from Beer'd Gamers · host Beer'd Gamers

What would you do with $173?  Would you buy a power plant?  Perhaps another house, or dos, to supply power to and earn more money from?  Those questions are answered in this week’s episode of Beer’d Gamers by none other than Teej, Mister One-Hundred-And-Seventy-Three-Dollars-Money-Bags himself. We’re playing Power Grid in this week’s episode, and we have a complete blast while doing so.  Power Grid is a Euro-style game where players use strategy rather than dice to outwit, outspend, and outearn the other players.  Each round the players bid on power plants, which are then used to power homes.  Players need to watch price points, resources needed and consumed, as well as how many homes each power plant is able to power.  It’s a game of money-management, but trust us, it is way more fun than just that. Power Grid retails for roughly $40-45 depending on the seller, and is another game that we definitely recommend. This week in beers we’ve got Teej drinking Teddy Bear Kisses by Upland Brewing Company, Schnell enjoys Arrogant Bastard Ale (because he is one) by Arrogant Brewing, Junior imbibes Buffalo Sweat (because he’s weird) from Tallgrass Brewing Company, and Nelson enjoys Hanalei IPA from Kona Brewing Company.
