Description

The maps of Russia and Japan in this expansion can only be played with a copy of Power Grid (Recharged Version) or Power Grid. The rules of Power Grid (Recharged Version) remain the same, except for following modifications and special features of the two maps contained in this expansion. Russia Introduction The market for power plants is restricted in Russia. Additionally, the standard rules for exchanging out of date power plants are changed, forcing the leading players to completely rethink their strategies. Preparation Remove the power plants “06” and “14” from the game, before shuffling the remaining power plants with plug on the back, and placing them on top of the power plant stack. From the remaining power plants, randomly remove 6 power plants for 2 players, 8 power plants with 3 players, and 4 power plants for 4 players. Place the topmost 6 power plants into the power plant market. Fill the following spaces of the resource market: coal - spaces 3–8, oil - spaces 1–8, uranium - spaces 6–16. On the map, the cheapest starting spaces for each resource show this symbol. There is no garbage in the resource market at the start of the game. Depending on the number of players, place the matching resource refill card for Russia on the game board.
