Power Grid: Outpost!
Outpost was one of the major inspirations for
Power Grid as that game was far ahead of its time. More than twenty years after the first release of
Power Grid, Friedemann wants to honor
Outpost with this game. He took many thematic elements of that game and translated them to the
Power Grid world.
