| What it adds | A double-sided board with a Benelux map and a Central Europe map, each with small rule changes. | 30 robot tiles that build computer-controlled players from random behaviour traits for auctions, resources and city building. |
| What it fixes | Gives a faster, cheaper-to-build map with plentiful resources, so a repeat group can vary the game without a steeper rules load. | Fills the empty seats in a 2-3 player game so Power Grid keeps its auction tension without needing five humans. |
