The best way to describe Power Grid is to say it’s like an amalgamation of The Settlers of Catan and Ticket To Ride. Power Grid is a strategy game that requires time and attention. It’s like Settlers because you build cities and collect resources. It’s like Ticket to Ride because you connect those cities across a map and you have to think several moves ahead. If you and your family enjoy deep-thinking, sophisticated strategy games then I’m sure you’ll enjoy Power Grid.
