  • Have yet to finish an on-line game

    This is such a great game, but so poorly executed. I’ve tried to play 3 on-line games - we get to phase III and it ALWAYS crashes a few turns into phase III. I’m on an apple device and my son-in-law is on android - not sure if that’s the problem? So frustrating - get this fixed and I’ll adjust my rating but right now it’s a 1 star - it’s like your playing the board game and a 3 year old comes and tips the board game over! NOOOOO!

    The problem should be fixed in the new version.
  • It’s quite buggy, online doesn’t seem to work very well, but it’s power grid !

    I’ve not yet made it through an online game as it really seems unstable, but once you get used to the quirky user interface it’s quick to play a single player game against AI and it’s just great to be able to play Power Grid, one of the all time greats ⭐️ I hope the developers care about this game and continue to improve it

  • Worst designed app I’ve ever used

    So buggy. Terrible interface. Doesn’t work half the time and it’s so hard to navigate and understand. Total waste of money.

    Much easier and less frustrating to play the actual game in real life than to waste time and money on this piece of garbage app.

    Sorry to hear that. Can you please more specific informations so we can work on it, as we think it all works fine. Don't hesitate to send screenshots and descriptions to alex@brettspielwelt.de, and I will try to do my best
  • Nice App

    I’ve been enjoying the app and haven’t had any issues
  • Needs bugs fixed

    I really want to give this app five stars because Power Grid is one of the best board games out there. However, there’s alot of bugs that need to be worked out.

    First and foremost, you can’t resume a saved local game. Like at all. The option just isn’t there. So you have to play all the way through or forget about it.

    Same with editing your local profile. Whatever name you choose at first creation you’re stick with.

    It’ll crash randomly on starting a game sometimes, but that’s not the end of the world

    Of course, there’s alot more maps that need to be included but I’m sure that will come down the road. I hope.

    The interface is a bit unintuitive to start but I got used to it after a while.

    So overall, a decent app with great source material that needs to get the bugs ironed out.

  • Pretty good app

    Some glitches at times. AI players do funny things sometimes.
  • Amazing

    Never have I seen a power grid game go so fast! Took me a little bit to get used to the interface, but now games go fast and smooth. Very fun. I imagine it might be tough for someone that doesn’t already understand the gameplay… but if you play the physical game… this is a fun addition to play remotely with friends.

  • Superlatively disappointing

    I have hundreds of board games, and have loved this game in print for years. Waiting for this utter disappointment is confusing. I hope it updates to something coming close to playable, but since they already have my money, I doubt this will happen.

    Non-intuitive interface, lack of guidance on how to use the app (let alone a useful tutorial on the game itself), and middling graphics … well, at least it’s expensive.

    I look forward to being able to upgrade this score, but am not optimistic. This could be a stellar title, though … the source material is excellent!

  • Bugs are fixed.

    So far I’m really liking this. I came in as an experienced Powergrid player. I can’t tell you how someone new to the game would fare….but veterans should like it.

    Stable. Good AI. True to the game. One of the better Board Game ports. The interface seemed dreadful at first but after a couple games I’m accustomed.

    Playing a full 6 player game of Powergrid in 30 minutes sure feels odd though. I get to try a ton of crazy strategies though!

  • Absolutely great!!

    This is an absolutely great app of one of my favourite board games. The physical game is hard to get to the table with the full player count.
