Submarine Board Game for Nautical Enthusiasts

This is an expansion pack for the Power Grid game, so you will need the base game to play with it. As with the original, the board has a different map on each side: Benelux on one side and Central Europe on the other. Along with the new maps, there are small rule changes to reflect the power culture in these two countries.

The Benelux countries support ecological power, so players may have greater opportunities to acquire such power plants. Additionally, oil is more available and coal less available in these countries. In contrast, Poland has large coal supplies, making coal much more plentiful than elsewhere in Central Europe. However, due to political stands taken by some countries, players may be limited in their access to nuclear power.

The result is not just new maps, but new ways to play this great game. Large research ships try to collect treasures, aided by small submarines. Those who aren't finding enough are up above interfering with the competition's radio reception. The first player to fill the storage bay of their ship or who has the most treasures at the end of the game is the winner.

This expansion pack is for 2-5 players, ages 10 and up. The new maps and rule changes introduce fresh strategic challenges, encouraging players to adapt their tactics to the unique characteristics of the Benelux and Central Europe regions. The ecological focus in Benelux, the abundance of coal in Poland, and the limited access to nuclear power in certain areas all contribute to a gameplay experience that is distinct from the base Power Grid game.

Navigating the Benelux and Central Europe maps requires players to carefully consider their resource acquisition and power plant development strategies. The availability of oil and coal, as well as the emphasis on ecological power in Benelux, will shape the players' decision-making process. Additionally, the political constraints on nuclear power in some regions add an extra layer of complexity to the game.

Overall, this expansion pack breathes new life into the Power Grid game, providing players with an engaging and thought-provoking experience as they explore the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the Benelux and Central Europe regions.
