POWERGRID

Java implementation of the POWERGRID board game.

In Power Grid, the objective is to establish electrical networks and power the most cities at the end of the game. Each player represents a company that owns power plants and tries to supply electricity to cities. Throughout the course of the game, players will bid on power plants, buy resources and cities in order to provide power to their expanding network of cities. The game ends when any player buys/connects at least 17 cities, and the winner is determined by the number of cities players can power.

In the actual Power Grid board game, the game can have up to six players, but for simplicity’s sake, we limited the number of players to 4 in our Java implementation. In addition, the Power Grid board game has multiple maps that can be played on, but we also limited that to only the United States board.

The latest jar file of this game can be found in build/libs.
If you want an executable, you can use launch4j to build one.
