These promo cards are only playable with a copy of Power Grid!
You can use all promo cards together or just the cards you like the most. All cards are compatible.
After preparing the power plant market and the draw pile of power plant cards, the chosen promo cards are shuffled into the pile of power plant cards. Finally the power plant 13 is placed as usual on top of the draw pile.
Taxes
The taxes force the players to pay taxes for the cash assets once during the game.
»Step 1«: If the card Taxes is drawn during this Step, it is placed face down below the draw deck with power plants. A replacement card is drawn from the draw deck.
»Step 2« and »Step 3«: If the card is drawn in one of these Steps, it is placed face up next to the power plant market. A replacement card is drawn from the draw deck.
At the start of Phase 5 (Bureaucracy) each player must pay 20% taxes for their cash assets. To simplify this process, the players pay taxes following the chart below:
Cash
Taxes
0-4 Elektro
0 Elektro
5-9 Elektro
1 Elektro
10-14 Elektro
2 Elektro
15-19 Elektro
3 Elektro

Only after paying taxes the players get their income for supplying cities with electricity.
If the card Taxes is drawn in phase 5 as a replacement for the removed power plant, it is resolved at the beginning of phase 5 of the following turn and remains face up next to the power plant market.
