About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey everyone, check this out: Funkenschlag: EnBW is essentially the classic Power Grid with a brand new map! The folks at EnBW delivered a double-sided board. On one side, you've got the completely new Baden-Württemberg map, and on the other, Germany, but with a twist: Mannheim is out, and Karlsruhe is in. The concept is simple yet brilliant: you become the big boss of a power company, just like EnBW. You need to supply power to everyone, from residential to industrial customers, without forgetting shareholders and partners who always want more. And, of course, there's the environmental aspect: which energy source to use? Where to build your power plants? Can you ensure a supply that's safe, sustainable, and planet-friendly? This game is for those who enjoy thinking ahead, planning every move, and of course, having some good laughs (and maybe a few friendly jabs) with friends. With 2 to 6 players, ages 12 and up, it's your chance to show who rules the energy world. Get ready for intense auctions, network expansion, and plenty of resource management. Who will power up more cities and make the biggest profit? You'll only know by playing!
