How does that combine...with...um...the wonders?
I mean 7 wonders for 7 players I get, but one of the expansions is for 8 players...how?
Today we played our first game of power grid.
Took one hour to figure out the rules, and still not sure if we got everything right, because especially the 2nd phase was over pretty quickly.
In general it seems very balanced. You can build up a nice city network, but you immediately get punished if you're far ahead. You can plany in advance what resources you need, but that might backfire a bit, because everything might get cheaper next round and the other players will grab it then.
Very nice game in my opinion, need to play it more.
Played also a game of Machiavelli/Citadels.
I managed to not win due to my own stupidity.
Building number #8 was the...er...forgot the name, some tower, which allows you to destroy it and destroy with it another building in another city.
So I destroyed building #8, and took the museum of another player (worth 10 points) with me.
The loss of the tower brought me down by 3 points, but I was still ahead with 3 points.
Due to the loss of building #8, the warlord could attack me, destroying another building worth 3 points, which brought me down to second place. If I had kept my tower, the warlord would've been more likely to attack the player with the museum (who was ahead), and I might have won.
Was also for sure my own fault. I picked the assasin (just to play first, so that the thief and the magician can't mess with me), but didn't think of killing the warlord. Stupid me.
But was an awesome round
