Session report: Power Grid — first win felt illegal

Finally won Power Grid after like eight tries and I’m not even proud, I’m suspicious.

Endgame was a clown car of forgotten resources, someone buying a plant they couldn’t afford with ‘future money’ (we caught it, but still), and me stumbling into enough cities because the leader got greedy on the auction track.

The win screen in my head was confetti; the win screen in reality was everyone googling endgame rules again.

If you’ve had a ‘wait I won?’ Power Grid moment, tell me how you actually secured it so I know whether to frame the scoresheet or burn it.

We played Germany map, 4 players, random beginners except one shark who usually wins — which made the salt extra tasty.
