Brass Birmingham Board Game - Strategy Economic Game for Adults & Teens | Perfect for Family Game Nights & Competitive Play

Product Description

Brass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game and tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the industrial revolution, between the years of 1770-1870.

You must develop, build, and establish your industries and network, in an effort to exploit low or high market demands.

Each round, players take turns according to the turn order track, receiving two actions to perform any of the following actions:

1) Build - Pay required resources and place an industry tile.
2) Network - Add a rail / canal link, expanding your network.
3) Develop - Increase the VP value of an industry.
4) Sell - Sell your cotton, manufactured goods and pottery.
5) Loan - Take a £30 loan and reduce your income
6) Scout - Discard three cards and take a wild location and wild industry card. 

The game is played over two halves: the canal era (years 1770-1830) and the rail era (years 1830-1870). To win the game, score the most VPs. VPs are counted at the end of each half for the canals, rails and established (flipped) industry tiles.

Brass: Birmingham features a deceptively straightforward rule set which creates interesting gameplay dynamics including a highly innovative variable turn order system and robust gift economy. It also features a dynamic board setup, making each game unfold completely differently each time you play!
