Power Grid Boardgame

Tons of maps included. Different AI levels. Online play. It is exactly true to the board game but plays much faster. GUI that you arrange and control. Love it. Was worried I wouldn’t like it from the overly picky reviews, but I would choose this over paying for the actual board game (which I also own though no one wants to spend two hours playing) every day. Well done! Kraft were inspired music is brilliant too!

I really want to give this app five stars because Power Grid is one of the best board games out there. However, there’s alot of bugs that need to be worked out. First and foremost, you can’t resume a saved local game. Like at all. The option just isn’t there. So you have to play all the way through or forget about it. Same with editing your local profile. Whatever name you choose at first creation you’re stick with. It’ll crash randomly on starting a game sometimes, but that’s not the end of the world Of course, there’s alot more maps that need to be included but I’m sure that will come down the road. I hope. The interface is a bit unintuitive to start but I got used to it after a while. So overall, a decent app with great source material that needs to get the bugs ironed out.

I have hundreds of board games, and have loved this game in print for years. Waiting for this utter disappointment is confusing. I hope it updates to something coming close to playable, but since they already have my money, I doubt this will happen. Non-intuitive interface, lack of guidance on how to use the app (let alone a useful tutorial on the game itself), and middling graphics … well, at least it’s expensive. I look forward to being able to upgrade this score, but am not optimistic. This could be a stellar title, though … the source material is excellent!
