This scenario plays out in the board game "Power Grid." It's a game about running power plants and one of the 4 resources is garbage. It's a great late game fuel, but it can get scarce. http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2651/power-grid http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2651/power-grid
- martythemaniak 14y agoVery good game if you like Catan-style games.
- jere 14y agoAgreed. I've heard good things for a while, but I was very impressed when I played it last week for the first time. Also (this is why I was tempted to post about it on HN), it's very heavy on number crunching and has a nice CS feel to it. Placing your cities is, I think, an instance of minimum spanning trees. Thought MST has a lot of applications, interestingly the first algorithm for finding them was invented in 1926 for "efficient electrical coverage of Moravia." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bor%C5%AFvka%27s_algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bor%C5%AFvka%27s_algorithm
