Editing WindFarms

= Wind Farms = | Players | 2-4 (best with 3-4) | | Length | 30-60 minutes | | Equipment Required | 1 piecepack, pen & paper for scoring | | Designer | ["Phillip Lerche"] | | Version | 0.3 | | Version Date| 2007-03-20 | | License | unknown | == Description == Power from Wind... the biggest payout comes from supplying power to the big cities, but they are all located in windless valleys. Expand your power network in an ever-changing landscape. This game is a non-competing 'late' entry in the GoodPortsmanship competition. It is based on Friedemann Friese's Power Grid. == Rules == http://www.ludism.org/attachments/ppwiki/WindFarms.pdf == Reviews == I've been playing Wind Farms lately as a two player game, each person controlling two suites. And enjoying it quite a bit. The rules say: * Phase 1. Bidding to establish a new turn order... In reverse turn order, each player plays one of his coins value side up to the table. I wonder why, though. Is it to give the player lowest in the pawn ladder and advantage or a disadvantage? How can it be an advantage if everyone can outbid you once they see how much you bid? I think the theme does not conform very well with the rules in the part that says: * If more than 1 wind farm is built on a location, then the power is divided among the wind farms present, with the leftover power available going to the player(s) earliest in turn order. In reality, If a tile is in a windy location for one Windfarm it would still be a windy location for another windfarm placed in that same tile. I think something that **does** have be shared is **water**, like water for crops. I think the theme should be of mono-crop farmers (one crop for each suit) Notice also that consumers of rice would also consume brocolli, and would also consume apples. As the rules imply: * Players may provide the same towns/cities with power as other players. Whereas with electric power that is not really the case. In reality, if a company gives me power I don't really need another company to give me power, also. ---- CategoryGame CategoryPortedGame
