Brass Birmingham Review — Wow Martin Wallace

The sequel to Brass Lancashire, Brass Birmingham, has its players taking on the roles of entrepreneurs, building up railways and locations to sell manufactured goods over the course of two eras (all in one board game session)! This gets you victory points, kinda expected for a euro tabletop game, but the catch is that many developments affect the board state and they're there for everyone to use! Everyone has a hand of cards used to build on locations, but those cards come from a deck that, once it runs out, starts the next era! The strategy for Brass Birmingham is immense, with simple yet depthful mechanics that keep your tabletop board game nights running smoothly turn after turn, round after round; on top of amazing components without fiddly visual clutter! That is, once you know how to play the game. There's definitely some finicky jank going on with symbols, iconography, and the rulebook that you have to get through before you can dive in and start making plays. Thanks to A.T.
