Brass: Birmingham... Is It Right for You? (Pros vs. Cons)

Brass: Birmingham is "an economic strategy game sequel to Martin Wallace' 2007 masterpiece, Brass. Brass: Birmingham tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the industrial revolution... As in its predecessor, you must develop, build, and establish your industries and network, in an effort to exploit low or high market demands." Each round, players take two actions out of the six possible actions: Build, Network, Develop, Sell, Loan, and Scout. Over the course of two halves, players will score victory points via established industry tiles and links (canals or rails) between those industries. There's so much to talk about regarding the gameplay but for this video I just wanted to focus on the pros and cons of this game! I hope you find it helpful!
