Power Vacuum

Have been having so much fun with this game. Not played a trick taking game before, but this one has been great, the social element of trying to work together while people usurp your position is fun. It is possible to work together, but so easy, and tempting to betray, double cross, and cause chaos. We’re a diverse group of family and friends and everyone so far has found something they like about it. Definitely one to join the rotation of games we play.

This game its great.I spend a lot of fine time to play forbthst title and I hope I willbay it soon in Polish version

Firstly, I hate trick taking games. To me, there is little to no point in throwing cards down on a table to see who wins and who loses. And this is why so many people have been surprised that I would love a trick taking game. Well, that's because that's not really what this game is all about. The theme of the power vacuum and the fight for control really lives in the Power Board and that's what makes this game distinctly not a trick taking game and what really got me into it. Also, I love a game where the mechanics and the theme are fully entangled, and this game does that better than most.

Played at Spiel Essen 2024, lots of fun and a quite unique and thrilling mechanism. Very fun !

I love the tension of deciding whether to win or lose the trick; should I secure a card for next round or should I channel energy into achieving my own agenda? Meanwhile, it isn't a lost cause if you don't do what you set it to, as you can try to deduce what agenda your opponent is trying to achieve based on how they move energy. Check it out in BGA. I can't wait for my hard copy to arrive.
