- Oh dear, I lost so much time to this game! Excellent graphics, perfectly on-theme and stupidly addictive. Would be nice to see it expanded with maybe AI opponents.

Combining a board game with resource management was really cool. Well done!
Art style complements each other and really adds to the board game feel! I like the little explosion animation that occurs when a card's effect triggers.
Very slick presentation. Every fit into place, very tight. I love the music loop. I felt there was a just a little lack of player agency to much depended on the diceroll, just like monopoly. A mutliplayer version would be interesting. I liked how some card referred to modifiers on other cards (power stations). That seemed to promise a lot of strategy if against another player or a bot.
Good job on making this game! I can definitely see the similarities to power grid, but it's nice to see it in a single player format. It's impressive how you were able to manage all the state that was required for this game :)
A very nice card game! I enjoyed the polished visuals and the gameplay. Great work!
Excellent work on the visuals for the cards and the UI. Really enjoyed playing this game, was surprised to see so many different way to generate power.
Thanks! I'm thrilled that you found the various power generation methods. Providing players with a wide range of options for generating power was exactly what I aimed for, and I'm delighted that it resonated with you. Thanks for playing!
I love this kind of strategy card type board game. The visuals are clear and the UI lets you easily track your resources.
I have not played hard enough to get to (Wave 3 ?) but I am looking forward on how you continue to build up this game.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
I enjoy Game
Nice graphics, not my usual type of game but enjoyed playing
Thanks for your submission!
I had a good time playing this monopoly version of a power grid. The graphics are well made and make the experience very nice.
I had to check how you handled so much UI code-wise – given you went with Phaser – and I was impressed with you spinning up pretty much it all from scratch! Great job :)
Thank you for playing the game! Part of inspiration indeed come from the board game "Power Grid"! Glad you feel good gameplay experience.
Handling so much UI was indeed a challenge! Perhaps I should make a flexible tool for dealing that in the future.
This game is really incredible. Idea, artwork and music are very nice. It is also work very well on mobile. I can play it anywhere when I need to kill time.
I'm thrilled that you're enjoying the game, and it's awesome to hear that it works well on mobile. Thank you so much!
Absolutely no need for the sound track to go this hard 🔥🔥
Wow, very polished game and great idea! Very ambitious to create a board game for a game jam, as I assume it needs a lot of balancing and testing. I really liked the art style, how responsive it feels and the tutorial. Something which you might want to improve is the music, as the track is pretty short and gets a bit repetitive.
Congratulations to this great game.
Thank you so much for feedback and kind words! I'm glad that you enjoyed the game. You're absolutely right about the music - it should be improved and maybe add more sfx.
The art style is great, and the game looks very polished. I came to round 6 because I wasn’t able to collect more resources. Maybe I should replace my power plants each round to get more power. The game can get a bit stale after a while, but I think it’s a good first concept. Well done
Thanks for playing my game and giving me feedback! Yeah, one strategy is to replace newer power plants to obtain higher power (later-stage plants cards will be more powerful).
It's a lovely board game, nice art, neat concept, but it gets a bit dull after a while. Played until round 7. Good work!
Is that a traditional board game? Niceee. Also, the music is WILD. I want it
Yeah! It can be make as a board game. The music is from https://pixabay.com/music/beats-slim-shady-174003/
Concept is really great but it gets boring quickly at the moment. Other than that the art is just phenomenal super clean and minimalistic. Great job!
Thanks CemKaanU! Agree about that! Currently the game do not have clear goal and not well balanced. I will think about how to deal with that after the game jam.
cool game! but a little repetitive to be played for one player. maybe put recompenses? don´t know...
Thanks for the suggestion! That is a good idea! My original idea is put a leaderboard for players to pursue the top place, but I ran out of time to doing that lol. The other idea is that it might be good for making a multi player game so that user can reward from cooperation or competition.
Managed to go to round 7 ! Pretty cool game, I think there is a room to improve more the concept. Well played !
Thank you!! That's great. Actually, I haven't reached as far as you played lol.
Really fun concept, the design was really polished! I ended up getting greedy with thermal and nuclear and saw my power economy collapse... should have gone for more renewables!
Thank you for playing my game! I'm glad you found the key point. I tried to convey in the game that there's no perfect power generation method. It's all about making trade-offs!
