In Power Grid: Outpost, the colonization of the new planet advances quickly. There is a huge demand for electricity that your companies gladly fulfill.

Can you purchase the best power plants, biggest shelters, and best technologies? Can you spread your network faster from city to city than your competition? Do you expand your company economically to accommodate workers permanently so that you can avoid employing expensive seasonal workers that you must dismiss to the labor market after each assignment? Only then you can win Power Grid: Outpost!

Outpost was one of the major inspirations for Power Grid as that game was far ahead of its time. More than twenty years after the first release of Power Grid, Friedemann wants to honor Outpost with this game. He took many thematic elements of that game and translated them to the Power Grid world.

From a Powergrid fan

I am a big fan of the original Powergrid and consider it my favorite board game, so I bought the Outpost versión with cautious optimism. I think it's a great variation that both feels similar to the original while also feeling different enough to have a fresh, new option in the collection. My first playthrough was full of ridiculous jokes about "the reality" of what our companies were doing with the permanent and seasonal labor market (and where they went after a "shift").

The randomized connection costs and the addition of the technology cards adds a large amount of freshness to the game, and I'll be giving this game a second playthrough very soon.

One sad side note is that my box arrived damaged from Biard Game Bliss, but I'm reviewing the game, not the sender.
