玩家在连接各个城市的电路板上绘制电气网络，然后通过购买电厂和运行植物的资源来为电力供电。这是游戏的第一版，仅由2F Spiele发行。制作Funkenschlag第二版（又名电网）进行了一些改变（支付时间表，固定板等）。
Players draw electrical networks on the board connecting various cities and then power them by purchasing power plants and the resources to run the plants. This is the first edition of the game, published only by 2F Spiele. Several changes were made (payout schedule, fixed board, etc.) to create Funkenschlag Second Edition (aka Power Grid).
