Hello, thanks for the video. Have you thought about doing a video on power grid recharged?

Either this guy is too fast at explaining or I'm going to hate this game and I love playing board games. I really want to understand power grid but it's just too confusing the way he explains this and I'm sure there's people out there that will understand this but I guess it's just too fast for me. Going back to Mansions of madness And Silver

I don't know how to find the answer to this question about the winning phase: if we are 3 player, i'm the first to build the last house, the game finish immediatly or the other 2 player can build after me, and only at that moment will see the winner? Because that change a lot how to play the game

My only suggestion would be to talk about the set up at the beginning, not the end lol
