It is time for another multiple-award-winning title to join Board Game Arena!
In the dystopic 1930s, the industrial revolution pushed the exploitation of fossil-based resources to the limit, and now the only thing powerful enough to quench the thirst for power of the massive machines and of the unstoppable engineering progress is the unlimited hydroelectric energy provided by the rivers.
Barrage is a resource management strategy game in which players compete to build their majestic dams, raise them to increase their storing capacity, and deliver all of the potential power through pressure tunnels connected to the energy turbines of their powerhouses.
Each player represents one of the four international companies who are gathering machinery, innovative patents, and brilliant engineers to claim the best locations to collect and exploit the water of a contested Alpine region crisscrossed by rivers.
Barrage includes two innovative and challenging mechanisms. First, the players must carefully plan their actions and handle their machinery, since both their action tokens and resources are stored on a Construction Wheel and will only be available after a full turn of the wheel. The better you manage your wheel, the earlier your resources and actions come back to you.
Second, the water flow on the rivers depicted on the board is a shared and contested resource. Players have to intercept and store as much of the water as they can, build dams (upstream dams are expensive but can block part of the water before it reaches the downstream dams), raise the dams to increase their capacity, and build long tunnels to channel the water to their powerhouses. Water is never consumed- its flow is just used to produce energy, and it is instead released back to the rivers. Therefore, you have to strategically place your dams to recover the water diverted by you and the other players.
Over five rounds, the players must fulfill power requirements represented by a common competitive power track and meet specific requests of personal contracts. At the same time, by placing a limited number of engineers, they attempt to enhance their machinery to acquire new and more efficient construction actions and to build and activate special unique-effect buildings to forward their own developing strategy.

There are no words to express our gratitude to our developers, Tisaac and Vincentt, who did an amazing job here, bringing you a top-notch gaming experience to play on nearly anything connected to Internet.
Of course, there couldn't be games without a team behind them. And thanks to Cranio Creations, the game designers Tommaso Battista & Simone Luciani, and the art from Mauro Alocci, Antonio De Luca, and Roman Roland Kuteynikov, this title is shining now on your favorite platform.
Thanks a lot to all of them for their support.
That's it for today's WRT (Wednesday Release Time).
We told you there would be water flowing on BGA, but next weeks release will be more about... Oceans. But how many of them? 10? or more?
Let this information sink in a moment, play fair and take care!
BARAGE: Nije vaša prosječna nacija brane.
Vrijeme je da se još jedan višestruko nagrađivani naslov pridruži Board Game Arena!
U distopičnim 1930-ima industrijska revolucija dovela je eksploataciju fosilnih resursa do krajnjih granica, a sada jedino što je dovoljno moćno da utaži žeđ za snagom ogromnih strojeva i nezaustavljivog inženjerskog napretka je neograničena hidroelektrična energija koju osigurava rijeke.
Barrage je strateška igra za upravljanje resursima u kojoj se igrači natječu u izgradnji svojih veličanstvenih brana, njihovom podizanju kako bi povećali njihov skladišni kapacitet i isporučivanju sve potencijalne snage kroz tlačne tunele povezane s energetskim turbinama njihovih elektrana.
Svaki igrač predstavlja jednu od četiri međunarodne tvrtke koje prikupljaju strojeve, inovativne patente i briljantne inženjere kako bi zatražile najbolje lokacije za prikupljanje i iskorištavanje vode u spornoj alpskoj regiji ispresijecanoj rijekama.
Baraž uključuje dva inovativna i izazovna mehanizma.
Prvo, igrači moraju pažljivo planirati svoje radnje i rukovati svojim strojevima, budući da su njihovi akcijski tokeni i resursi pohranjeni na kotaču za izgradnju i bit će dostupni tek nakon potpunog okretanja kotača.
Što bolje upravljate svojim kotačem, prije će vam se vratiti resursi i radnje.
Drugo, protok vode u rijekama prikazanim na ploči zajednički je i osporavan resurs.
Igrači moraju presresti i pohraniti što više vode mogu, graditi brane (uzvodne brane su skupe, ali mogu blokirati dio vode prije nego što stigne do nizvodnih brana), podizati brane kako bi povećali njihov kapacitet i graditi dugačke tunele kanalizirati vodu do svojih elektrana.
Voda se nikada ne troši - njezin protok se samo koristi za proizvodnju energije, a umjesto toga se ispušta natrag u rijeke.
Stoga morate strateški postaviti svoje brane kako biste obnovili vodu koju ste preusmjerili vi i ostali igrači.
Tijekom pet rundi, igrači moraju ispuniti zahtjeve snage predstavljene zajedničkom natjecateljskom stazom snage i ispuniti specifične zahtjeve osobnih ugovora.
U isto vrijeme, postavljanjem ograničenog broja inženjera, pokušavaju unaprijediti svoje strojeve kako bi stekli nove i učinkovitije građevinske radnje te izgradili i aktivirali posebne građevine s jedinstvenim učinkom kako bi unaprijedili vlastitu razvojnu strategiju.

Također, ako želite naučiti kako igrati ovu fantastičnu igru, možete provjeriti interaktivni vodič dostupan ovdje.
To je vrlo brz i jednostavan način da uđete u njega u roku od nekoliko minuta.
Nema riječi kojima bismo mogli izraziti našu zahvalnost našim programerima, Tisaacu i Vincenttu, koji su ovdje obavili nevjerojatan posao, donoseći vam vrhunsko iskustvo igranja na gotovo svemu što je povezano s internetom.
Naravno, nije moglo biti utakmica bez momčadi iza njih.
A zahvaljujući Cranio Creations, dizajnerima igre Tommaso Battista & Simone Luciani, te umjetnosti Maura Aloccija, Antonija De Luce i Romana Rolanda Kuteynikova, ovaj naslov sada blista na vašoj omiljenoj platformi.
Puno hvala svima njima na podršci.
To je to za današnji WRT (vrijeme izdanja u srijedu).
Rekli smo vam da će voda teći na BGA, ali izdanje sljedećih tjedana bit će više o...
oceani.
Ali koliko njih?
10?
ili više?
