Get ready to dive headfirst into the Industrial Revolution with Brass: Birmingham! This economic strategy game casts you as a visionary entrepreneur in the vibrant city of Birmingham between 1770 and 1870. It's an experience that expands and refines the classic Brass, offering rich and nuanced gameplay.

Your goal? To build an industrial empire, develop your industries, and expand your transportation network, whether through canals or railways. You'll need to keep a close eye on fluctuating market demands and use your resources wisely. The game is divided into two eras: the Canal Era and the Rail Era, each presenting its own unique challenges and opportunities.

Each round, you'll have two actions to choose from: build new industries, expand your network, develop technologies to increase the value of your ventures, sell your goods, or even take out a loan (when cash flow gets tight!). And there's more: a new 'Scout' action lets you discard cards to gain wild resources, providing that extra flexibility we all love.

Scoring occurs at the end of each era, rewarding those who have built the best transportation networks and the most profitable, established industries. Brass: Birmingham is one of those games that challenges you to think ahead, plan every move, and adapt to market shifts. If you enjoy games with strategic depth, resource management, and an engaging historical theme, prepare to be captivated!
