How to Play Power Grid: Fabled Expansion

Objective of the Game

This expansion offers two Fabled Decks for campaigns of 3 consecutive games on each of the 4 maps from the base games Power Grid and Power Grid deluxe. During each game, new rules are added, thoroughly changing the Power Grid experience. Players will reveal Fabled Cards as their conditions are met, adding new actions and rules to the gameplay. The goal is to play through these campaigns, experiencing how the game evolves with each revealed card.

Preparation (Setup)

General Information

To play this expansion, players need one of the two base games: Power Grid or Power Grid deluxe. The two Fabled Decks each belong to specific maps. Depending on the chosen map, players will use the matching Fabled Deck.

Map-Specific Setup

• Germany or Europe: Players use the Fabled Cards with a purple border. Place these Fabled Cards FACE DOWN, using the numbers on their backs to position them correctly. This allows players to easily check the conditions for revealing the cards when they are met during the game.
• USA or North America: Players use the Fabled Cards with a white border. Place these Fabled Cards FACE DOWN, using the numbers on their backs to position them correctly. This allows players to easily check the conditions for revealing the cards when they are met during the game.

For All Maps

Depending on the chosen map, players prepare the game as explained in the rules of the base games.

Two-Player Games

In games with only 2 players, players use the variant "Against the Trust". These rules are included in the rules for Power Grid deluxe. If you do not own Power Grid deluxe, you can download this variant from the publisher's website. This variant is recommended for 2 players, with or without this expansion.

Fluxo do Jogo

Both Fabled Decks offer rules for campaigns of 3 consecutive games. During these 3 games, players reveal Fabled Cards as their conditions are met and add their actions and rules to the gameplay. The order of revealed Fabled Cards will differ based on the players' playing style. It's possible that certain Fabled Cards may remain face down until the end of the third game if their conditions are not triggered.

Once a Fabled Card is revealed, it remains in play until it is removed. Some Fabled Cards may force players to remove other Fabled Cards from the game. Players play according to all rules of the base games, except when Fabled Cards modify these rules. In such cases, the Fabled Cards always take priority.

During the 3 games of a campaign, players can switch the number of players and can continue to play more games with the revealed cards. If players want to start a new campaign in the middle of an ongoing campaign, they only need to note the revealed cards to continue at another time.

Ações e Como Jogar

Revealing Fabled Cards

The Fabled Cards specify conditions that describe when players need to reveal them during the 3 games of a campaign.

• "AND" Conditions: If a Fabled Card has several conditions combined with an "and", all of these conditions must be fulfilled before players reveal that Fabled Card.
• "OR" Conditions: If a Fabled Card has several conditions separated by "or", players reveal that Fabled Card when any one of these conditions is fulfilled (sometimes players trigger several of them at the same time).

Using Neutral Tokens

Some Fabled Cards instruct players to use neutral tokens to mark different things.

• For 2-5 Players: Players simply use the houses/generators of one of the unused player colors as neutral tokens.
• For 6 Players: Players use pennies or some other suitable item as these neutral tokens.
