Brass: Birmingham - an Economic Strategy Game for 2-4 Players | #1 Board Game on Board Game Geek | Ages 14+ | Plays in 60-120 Minutes

very good

It's the top 1 game in BGG for a reason

My 17 year old and his friends seem to play this whenever they get together. And they’re enthusiastic. They’ll play it a couple hours at a time. To me, it looks complex because there are little pieces, but my kid tells me “absolutely not complex, it’s pretty easy to play, but the game play itself is great.” That’ all I know.

It speaks volumes that such a heavy (complex) game is #1 on Board Game Geek. Save a few brain cells and precious time by watching a tutorial or two on youtube before opening the box. Oh, and do your best to convince your player friends do the same.

My son and his friends absolutely love this game. They set game nights to specifically play Brass. Highly recommend.

La caja vino maltratada por un lado, pero el equipo al cliente fue efectivo en ayudarme con una solución, ya he comprado anteriormente en Roxley, me gusta como diseñan los componentes, 100% recomendado

I have a group of friends who play board games weekly. We really love the game and already played 3 times in 2 weeks which is rare because we all have busy work schedules and still try to make time for Brass Birmingham at least 2 hours game. Good token and standard cards quality.The game has high playability.

Brass Birmingham absolutely lives up to expectations. Let me first talk about the art. The main board and player boards are probably my most favorite components. Whether you choose to play the light or dark side, I feel the look really brings this one to shine on your table. The buildings, cards, and resource components are all top notch. I love the beer barrels especially.But where the game really shines is in the play. This one really challenges you to build the best economic engine. You have an incredible number of options on your turn. For this reason, I could see this being a challenge for new players. But as you learn the game, the choices become more clear. The choice of which cards to play from your hand, and when, is absolutely amazing. You are constantly fighting over locations, routes, and resources with the other players.Planning is critical, as you realize that halfway through the game you will lose your level 1 buildings and your canals. What you do in the canal era will dictate how you will fare in the rail era. The players who plan best will start the 2nd half of the game on a strong foot. It's a great game for those who enjoy looking ahead and putting themselves into a position to succeed.While some may complain at the length of the game (it can take 2-3 hours with 4p), I find the game never tires and will always have a place at my table. This board game will NEVER leave my collection!
