It is time for another multiple-award-winning title to join Board Game Arena!
In the dystopic 1930s, the industrial revolution pushed the exploitation of fossil-based resources to the limit, and now the only thing powerful enough to quench the thirst for power of the massive machines and of the unstoppable engineering progress is the unlimited hydroelectric energy provided by the rivers.
Barrage is a resource management strategy game in which players compete to build their majestic dams, raise them to increase their storing capacity, and deliver all of the potential power through pressure tunnels connected to the energy turbines of their powerhouses.
Each player represents one of the four international companies who are gathering machinery, innovative patents, and brilliant engineers to claim the best locations to collect and exploit the water of a contested Alpine region crisscrossed by rivers.
Barrage includes two innovative and challenging mechanisms. First, the players must carefully plan their actions and handle their machinery, since both their action tokens and resources are stored on a Construction Wheel and will only be available after a full turn of the wheel. The better you manage your wheel, the earlier your resources and actions come back to you.
Second, the water flow on the rivers depicted on the board is a shared and contested resource. Players have to intercept and store as much of the water as they can, build dams (upstream dams are expensive but can block part of the water before it reaches the downstream dams), raise the dams to increase their capacity, and build long tunnels to channel the water to their powerhouses. Water is never consumed- its flow is just used to produce energy, and it is instead released back to the rivers. Therefore, you have to strategically place your dams to recover the water diverted by you and the other players.
Over five rounds, the players must fulfill power requirements represented by a common competitive power track and meet specific requests of personal contracts. At the same time, by placing a limited number of engineers, they attempt to enhance their machinery to acquire new and more efficient construction actions and to build and activate special unique-effect buildings to forward their own developing strategy.

That's it for today's WRT (Wednesday Release Time).
We told you there would be water flowing on BGA, but next weeks release will be more about... Oceans. But how many of them? 10? or more?
Let this information sink in a moment, play fair and take care!
强国争坝:非凡的大坝国度
是时候让这款屡获殊荣的桌游加入桌游竞技场了!
在反乌托邦的 1930 年代,工业革命将化石资源的开采推向了极限,而现在,唯一强大到足以满足大型机器和不可阻挡的工程进程对动力的渴望的是河流提供的无限水力发电。
强国争坝是一款资源管理策略游戏,玩家在其中竞相建造雄伟的水坝,不断提高水坝的存储容量,并通过连接到发电厂的能量涡轮机的压力隧道输送所有潜在的电力。
每个玩家都代表着四家国际公司之一,这些公司正在收集机械、发明专利和培养杰出的工程师,以赢得在河流纵横的有争议的阿尔卑斯地区收集和开发水资源的最佳地点。
强国争坝包括两个创新和具有挑战性的机制。
首先,玩家必须仔细计划他们的行动并处理他们的机器,因为他们的建造板块和资源都将被储存在施工轮盘中,并且只有当施工轮盘完全转一圈后才能使用。
你能越好地管理你的施工轮盘,你的资源和建造板块就能越早地回到你身边。
其次,面板上描述的河流上的水滴是一种共享且可竞争的资源。
玩家必须尽可能多地拦截和储存水,建造水坝(上游水坝很昂贵,但可以在部分水到达下游水坝之前拦截部分水),提高水坝以增加容量,并建造长管道以将水引导到他们的发电站。
水永远不会被消耗——它的流动只是用来产生能量,而是被释放回河流中。
因此,你必须战略性地放置你的水坝来回收你和其他玩家转移的水。
在五轮比赛中,玩家必须满足以共同竞争实力赛道为代表的实力要求,并满足个人合同的特定要求。
同时,通过安置有限数量的工程师,他们试图增强他们的机械以获得新的和更有效的建筑行动,并建造和激活特殊的独特效果建筑,以推进他们自己的发展战略。

我们告诉过你 BGA 上会流水,但下周发布的内容将更多...
海洋。
但他们有多少?
10?
或者更多?
