Power Grid: France/Italy Expansion - Board Game for Ages 13+, 2-6 Players

"The Power Grid: France / Italy Expansion, the first addition to the hugely popular and award-winning game, offers new challenges with two new maps. The maps of France and Italy in this expansion can only be played with a copy of the Power Grid base game.

France, a land that has embraced nuclear power, has an earlier start with atomic plants and more uranium available. In this map, the emphasis is on nuclear power, providing a larger supply of uranium and faster access to the first nuclear power plant. However, with Paris being a huge city with a lot of demand for power, the over-reliance on one city can have its perils.

Italy, on the other hand, has very limited resources compared to its neighbors. Both coal and oil can quickly become both scarce and expensive. Combined with relatively high connecting costs in some parts of the country due to natural geography, players will often find themselves short of cash. Italy has more waste, but fewer coal and oil resources.

This expansion offers a gameplay duration of 60-120 minutes for 2-6 players. It is important to note that this expansion requires the Power Grid or Power Grid: Recharged base game to play."
