Recorded a few Power Grid games to test out my Blue Yeti & volume settings - nobody uploads videos of this wonderful game on here, so i'd like to start! It's one of my absolute favorite games of all time, of any type.
Italy is the map i play the least for 2P, besides Baden (which almost nobody plays period). Normally i'll let go of plant 06 for $7 here, but a game like this makes me wonder if it's worth $8. The plant market was *awful* early on in this game, so 06 was a huge advantage with nobody else using trash.
The other key decision was whether to bid on 25 vs. 26 - coal was much cheaper but i was worried about plants like 20 & 21 dropping. In the moment i forgot 21 would attack 26 as well, so in retrospect 25 was definitely the right call there; me having no coal plants made it far too cheap for realrecord to run. Quite a learning experience, this one!
Still think bidding on 11 over 13 was the right call, though. Helped me on turn order for a while, made more money during the market stall, and just fit better with my other plants.
