The final draft of the Power Grid rules I started weeks ago had only minor revision: a few corrections and further elimination of bold facing as suggested during the first draft. I was stubborn, but eventually decided it was for the best. I hope the rules prove clear and useful.

My goal has been to make the rules

* understandable in one reading,
* useful for setup,
* highly scannable for quick reference during a game, and
* worthy of modelling by rules authors.

I have submitted this last draft to the BoardGameGeek file section.

On a related note: I read the rules for the Z-Man edition of Primordial Soup and they are superb. I quite liked their use of terms and a glossary–another excellent model for rules authors.
