Power Grid: Europe/North America brings two fresh map boards to the classic Power Grid, letting you expand your power‑generation network across two of the world's biggest continents. Each map features seven regions, keeping the size and complexity of the base game in check while adding new routes and logistical twists. Released in 2014 to celebrate the title’s tenth anniversary, these maps originally appeared in Power Grid Deluxe, which used a different art style. Today, with matching graphics, they slot neatly into the core game without extra components.

Players still battle in auctions for power plants, trade resources on the market, and build routes between cities. The key difference lies in the variety of paths and the need to plan expansion across two distinct continents. In Europe the routes are denser, demanding efficient connections to cover smaller cities, while in North America the distance between hubs is greater, raising expansion costs and the importance of picking high‑capacity plants.

Components include two map boards, city tokens, and an extra power‑plant token for each continent. Players still use the same resource cards, plant cards, and supply tiles, making the expansion incredibly accessible. Game time stays around 120 minutes, and the player count remains 2–6, preserving the core dynamics.

For those who already master Power Grid and crave fresh challenges, the expansion offers a simple way to re‑introduce network‑building mechanics in new settings. If you enjoy route planning, market trading, and honing your auction skills, these maps will leave you delighted. The only caveat is that the learning curve can be a bit steeper for newcomers, as the expansion requires attention to the distances between connection points. Overall, Power Grid: Europe/North America is an essential add‑on for anyone who wants to keep the game alive and explore new pathways.
