In Power Grid: Outpost, the colonization of a new planet is advancing rapidly, creating an enormous demand for electricity that competing companies are eager to supply.

Players compete to purchase the best power plants, the largest shelters, and the most effective technologies while expanding their network from city to city faster than their rivals. A key strategic challenge is managing your workforce—deciding whether to expand your company economically to house workers permanently, or rely on costly seasonal workers who must be released back to the labor market after each assignment.

Only by carefully balancing expansion, infrastructure, and workforce management can you succeed and win Power Grid: Outpost.

The original Outpost board game was a major inspiration for Power Grid and was far ahead of its time. More than twenty years after the first release of Power Grid, designer Friedemann Friese pays tribute to Outpost by translating many of its thematic elements into the Power Grid universe.
