In 2004 werd Funkenschlag (
Hoogspanning) in de huidige versie uitgebracht door 2F Spiele. Om dit jubileum te vieren verschijnt dit jaar op Spiel een Deluxe uitgave van het spel. Een extra groot, tweezijdig speelbord van Europa en Noord Amerika, nieuwe energiecentrales, nieuwe, houten grondstoffen en plastic munten als Electro's. Ook wordt een nieuwe grondstof toegevoegd: gas. Nog geen nieuws over eventuele anderstalige uitgaven.

Citaat:
Funkenschlag Deluxe: Europa/Nordamerika is a standalone game in the Power Grid universe, and to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the updated version of Funkenschlag, this game includes brand new components: two giant-sized maps (Europe and North America), completely new power plants, a new resource type (natural gas), new wooden pieces for resources and player tokens, and new plastic coins as currency.
The goal of Funkenschlag Deluxe is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network reaches a predetermined size. Players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they need to power these cities. However, as power plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you're potentially allowing others access to superior equipment.
What's more, players must acquire the resources (coal, oil, natural gas, and uranium) needed to power said plants (except for the "renewable" windfarm plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest routes.
