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.

This game is a great illustration of the standard 5-player flow - big inefficient plants win out over smaller efficient plants, because the game will end before the Step 3 auction. Honestly i thought i was screwed after the opening builds, but hoo boy did that turn 2 pick up my spirits real quick~

Real bad mistake not storing extra oil on the second to last turn, BTW - need to stop getting greedy with that stuff. Very lucky it didn't cost me here. Also proud of how i finally managed to use that extra coal i bought on turn 1, and how long it took for that to happen!
