Buy power plants, purchase raw materials to produce electricity, sell electricity to cities. The player that can feed the most cities cost effectively is the winner!
Long Description:
"In Power Grid your goal is to supply the most cities with power. Players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they will use to power those cities.
As plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment.
In addition, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage, and uranium) needed to power their plants (except for the 'renewable' windfarm/ solar plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes."
