Brass - Birmingham

Brass Birmingham

Brass Birmingham is a strategy and economics game that tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the Industrial Revolution, between 1770 and 1870.

The plateau represents a map of the Birmingham area during its industrial revolution. The present cities can accommodate certain types of factories. Each player has a personal tray of factory tiles (coal mine, steelworks, cotton mill, port and shipyard). Cities must also be linked together. For this, during the first half of the game you will use canals and then during the second half of the game you will gradually replace them with railways.

In Brass Birmingham, victory points correspond to industrialization, canals and rails earn victory points. While factories earn points only when they can produce and mines only when they can deliver extracted resources to the plants. To win the game, score the most victory points, which are counted at the end of each phase.

Your goal will be to grow your business by producing and exporting cotton, pottery and manufactured goods. You will also have to build Breweries! Beer will be used as a bargaining chip for exports. The resources requested for export change with each party.
