Description
Build an Energy Empire, stack blocks on the Carbon Tower, hope they don’t Collapse!
Crank up the voltage in Power Failure, an electrifying card game in which you race to build the most productive grid. Up to four players compete to meet rising demand by acquiring resources, building power plants, and activating them to generate energy. Power production is inherently volatile, though, as rash individuals risk environmental catastrophes that set everyone back. The player who provides the bustling city with the most megawatts wins!
Features
- Strategy Card Game - Each round, players take 3 actions; acquiring power plants or fuel (cards), playing those cards, and running their power plants to meet the power-hungry city’s energy needs.
- Push Your Luck & Dexterity - Each time you run your carbon-inefficient power plants, you must add blocks to the unstable Carbon Tower, increasing the risk of collapse for all players.
- Run Power Plants - Build up your energy empire and collect the resources you need to generate energy. The greater your output, the greater the risk but also your reward!
- STEM & Environmental Sciences - The game models modern power production showing the benefits and risks of Coal, Natural Gas, Nuclear and green energy such as Wind, Solar and Hydroelectric.
- Family Game Night - Simple rules make it easy to learn and play. Great for families with adult and children players. Highly engaging for couples with 2 players.
