The expansion also brings 21 real-life events drawn from the rich history of the nineteenth-century War of Currents. These events add variety and flavor to every play, creating opportunities to fight for while also presenting calamities that unprepared electricity capitalists must overcome.

Seven historical women join the gentlemen already involved in the struggle between competing electrical companies. Among them is trailblazing philanthropist Madam C.J. Walker, who makes it possible to bring a sixth player into the game.

For solo players, a dedicated robot provides dynamic opposition. These additions give Tesla vs. Edison: Powering Up! new layers of strategy and thematic detail without significantly lengthening game time, making it a substantial way to enhance the original experience.
