(More customer reviews)For some reason, the description in the Amazon page is the description for . The actual description is as follows:
This expansion must be played with Power Grid and is compatible with the previous map expansions. The expansion is a new set of power plant cards which may be used in several ways:
1) use the new deck instead of the original
2) use both decks, but just one of each number, chosen randomly
3) use the original deck, adding the larger numbered plants from the new deck
4) customize your own power plant deck using the two decks.
Please Note: A copy of Power Grid is required to play this expansion.
For those that haven't played Power Grid, it's a fun game that requires you to power cities. The one who powers the most at the end wins (basically). Unfortunately there's a lot of analysis (read: lots and lots of math required) to do if you want to play optimally so games can run a bit on the long side.

The first expansion in the Power Grid 3 expansion pack is the Benelux/Central Europe Map expansion. Two new expansion maps for Power Grid: Benelux on one side and Central Europe on the other. Along with the maps are small rule changes to reflect the power culture in these two countries. As the Benelux countries support ecological power, players may have greater opportunities to acquire such power plants. Also, oil is more available and coal less available in these countries. As Poland has large coal supplies, coal will be much more plentiful than elsewhere in Central Europe. However, due to political stands taken by some countries, players may be limited in their access to nuclear power. The result is not just new maps, but new ways to play this great game! This expansion 3 pack also includes the France/Italy map expansion. Two new expansion maps for Power Grid: Italy on one side and France on the other. Includes minor rules changes based on real-world factors in those regions. The last part of this great Power Grid expansion pack is the card pack. This deck is a complete set of power plant cards that can be used: in place of the original deck, paired with the original deck (to make for an unpredictable mix), cards added to the original deck (to make the game as long as "Funkenschlag", game will end at 20 cities) or make a custom mixture of the two decks (to create specialized decks) with any maps. This full set of expansions will keep your Power Grid game busy for a long time! This set of cards has green borders to distinguish them easily from the original set of power plant cards
