Overview
Brass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game set during the Industrial Revolution in Birmingham (1770-1870). As competing entrepreneurs, 2-4 players develop industries, build networks, and respond to market demands over two eras: the canal era (1770-1830) and the rail era (1830-1870). Players take turns performing actions like building industries, expanding networks, developing industries, selling goods, and taking loans. A new action, scouting, allows players to discard cards for wild cards. The goal is to score the most victory points (VPs) by the end of the game.
