Simple yet extremely effective. Every game should have an expansion like this. I uploaded a picture of the robot combo that beat two human players by a large magin.

Funkenschlag: Die Roboter
Available in an external warehouse.Shipping in about 7/15 days
With this expansion, Power Grid is an exciting and fun experience for two (and more) players!
Power Grid: The Robots is designed especially for two players, but you can use a robot with up to five human players, too. You can even use more than one robot in a game.
The robot consists of five tiles, one tile with rules for each phase (except phase 1 »Determine Player Order« and phase 5 »bureaucracy«) plus a special ability, which the robot uses during the game.
With a total of 30 tiles - six different tiles for each phase - your Power Grid games will never be the same again!

A must if you want to play Power Grid at lower player counts. Usually around $10 USD and very much worth it for people like me who don't always have anyone else besides my girlfriend who will play with you!
Purchased at favorite local game store. All things Power Grid are 10's. I especially love that, with the proper robot configurations, the game is now playable solitaire.
Using a few robots makes single player Power Grid legit, and adds a lot to 2-player. They look nice and it's a great concept. No regrets on this buy.
This makes a two- or three-player game more interesting, but can bog down a four- or five-player game.
