Description
In the world of Barrage, players take on the role of international companies competing to harness the power of rivers in a contested Alpine region. The goal is to build majestic dams, raise them to increase their storing capacity, and deliver power through pressure tunnels connected to energy turbines. Each player must carefully plan their actions and manage their resources, which are stored on a Construction Wheel and only become available after a full turn. Over five rounds, players must fulfill power requirements and meet specific requests of personal contracts, all while strategically placing their dams to recover diverted water and outmaneuver their opponents. With a unique blend of resource management and strategic planning, Barrage offers a challenging and engaging experience for 1 to 4 players, with playtime ranging from 60 to 120 minutes.
