Product Description ------------------- BACKGROUND In a uchronic, early 1900s world, non-renewable resources are dying out. While miners extract the last strands of coal from the Northern European fields, and the cargo ships travel from the mining sites with their half-empty bellies, four gigantic explosions form that many freshwater basins in the heart of the Alps, putting an end to the Great War. But the echo of an extraordinary scientific discovery resonates and reaches the population: Nikola Tesla, who has been missing for years, announce s to the world the creation of a new, large-capacity electrical transformer; a device so powerful to convert so much electricity to meet – by scores – the needs of a post-industrial metropolis. A handful of investors immediately sniff out the deal: supported by world’s governments, worried by the conflict and by the energy crisis all over the West, they immediately start working to explore the new technology. Four venture capitalists entrust four great architects and engineers the task of saving the future of the world. The idea is simple yet ambitious: the four large pools of water formed by the mysterious explosions will be the perfect place to install the Tesla transformers: to stream the renewed hydroelectric energy that will be reconverted, accumulated and transported to the population. It will be necessary to build adequate dams and tunnels through the ains and redirect water flows to new and modern hydroelectric s. Millions HyCU Contracts have already been signed and hundred of thousands of people are eagerly looking forward to this revolution, savoring their renewed Belle Époque. “The Blue gold rush has just began!” Box Contains ------------ 1 Double Sided , 1 Management Board, 1 Patent Office Board, 7 Executive Officer Tiles + 1 Anton Krylov’s Special Technology Tile, 1 Energy Track, 15 Advanced Technology Tiles, 10 Starting Setup Tiles, 45 Private Contract Tiles, 6 Bonus Tiles, 3 Neutral Elevations, 4 Starting Contract Tiles, 6 Objective Tiles, 3 Neutral Bases, 6 National Contract Tiles, 30 Water Drops, Hydroelectric Credits: 24 of value 1, 20 of value 3, 14 of value 5, 34 Excavators, 26 Concrete Mixers, 8 Headstream Tiles, 4 Company Boards, 4 Construction Wheels, 5 Basic Technology Tiles, 4 Player Aids, 20 Automa Tiles, 5 Bases for each of the 4 companies, 5 Elevations for each of the 4 companies, 5 Conduits for each of the 4 companies, 4 Powerhouses for each of the 4 companies, 1 Turn Order Marker for each of the 4 companies, 1 Energy Marker for each of the 4 companies, 1 Victory Point Marker for each of the 4 companies, 12 Engineers for each of the 4 companies
