About this expansion
Power Grid: China/Korea is a 2008 expansion for Power Grid that adds maps for China and Korea, supporting 2–6 players in games lasting about 120 minutes.
This expansion offers two distinct settings, each with rules that shape how the game develops. The Korean board introduces two separate resource markets: one for the North and one for the South.
On the Chinese board, the game reflects a planned economy through a specific power plant rule. During both step 1 and step 2, power plants come out in ascending order, creating a defined order for their appearance in those stages.
- Korea: A board with separate North and South resource markets.
- China: A planned-economy system where power plants appear in ascending order during step 1 and step 2.
- Players: 2–6.
- Play time: Approximately 120 minutes.
Power Grid: China/Korea is designed for players looking to expand Power Grid with new geographical settings and focused rule variations. The two boards do more than provide a new setting: each introduces a clearly identified feature that distinguishes its play experience.
Whether you choose the divided resource markets of Korea or the ordered power plant progression of China, this expansion brings additional ways to experience Power Grid. It is the fourth expansion for the game and provides a focused addition for groups seeking these two maps and their distinctive rules.
