Board game Rebel — Wysokie napięcie: Kolonia (Rebel Gra)

Wysokie napięcie: Kolonia (Rebel Gra) is an expansion/variant for the economic strategy board game series published by Rebel. Designed to be used with the core game rules, this expansion introduces a location-specific scenario set in Cologne that changes map layout, city connections and strategic priorities. Players continue to manage power networks, bid in auctions, buy and operate power stations and supply cities while adapting to the new geographic and market conditions introduced by the Kolonia variant.

Advantages

The Kolonia variant provides a fresh strategic layer by altering route options and city placement, encouraging different investments and bidding behavior compared with the base game. It retains familiar mechanics of power plant management and resource allocation while offering new tactical decisions linked to the Cologne-themed map. Because it is an expansion/variant, it integrates with existing game components and play patterns, increasing replayability without changing core rules drastically.

Suitable for

• Groups of players familiar with the base power-network game seeking new maps and scenarios
• Strategy players who enjoy economic decision-making, auctions and network building
• Board game groups looking to increase replayability with location-themed variants

How to use
