From the Librarian: Power Failure is a competitive strategy game where players race to restore power to a city, strategically stacking and maneuvering power cubes to claim districts and score points. You might like it if you enjoy strategic games with a unique stacking and dexterity element.


 

The image shows a board game titled Power Failure with illustrations of power plants and industrial buildings on the box. The game box is primarily orange and yellow, with text and graphics highlighting the theme of managing energy resources.From the Publisher: 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!
