Flash Review — Barrage


Player count: 1 to 4
Works well with just 2: Yes!
Solo quality: Acceptable
Age: 14+
Playtime: 60-120 min

Barrage is an advanced Eurogame where each player tries to build the most profitable hydroelectricity empire.
You will need to erect damns, conduits and power plants, and take advantage of the landscape to make sure water flows your way. Steal your opponents’ sources of water if need be!

Barrage is one of those heavy games that scare people away with their rulebooks, but seduce them back to the table with their stunning looks.
The construction wheel is a stroke of genius: instead of spending resources to build a structure, you “invest” them in the wheel, and those resources will come back to you once the wheel has performed a full rotation.
Plan your needs accordingly.

Most easily forgotten ruleConduits can be used by all players (for a cost if it’s not yours).
