Players draw electrical networks on the board connecting various cities and then power them by purchasing power plants and the resources to run the plants.

This is the first edition of the game, published only by 2F Spiele. Several changes were made (payout schedule, fixed board, etc.) to create Funkenschlag Second Edition (aka Power Grid).

Re-implemented by:

Power Grid
