The energy market is open—and your rivals are waiting to short-circuit your empire. • The Living Market: Bid fiercely against your friends for cutting-edge power plants. Will you invest in reliable coal, go green with wind power, or risk it all on nuclear energy? • Resource Tug-of-War: Every piece of uranium, coal, oil, and garbage you buy drives up the global market price for everyone else. Squeeze your opponents out of the market by buying up their fuel! • The Ultimate Catch-Up Mechanic: Hate games where one person gets ahead and stays ahead? In Power Grid, the player in last place gets first pick of the best resources and cheapest expansions. Victory requires absolute precision timing.
