Set in industrial-era England, Brass: Birmingham puts you in the role of a business owner competing to expand an industry network across two historical eras: the canal era and the rail era.
Use cards to choose actions such as building or developing industries—including coal mines, ironworks, cotton mills, breweries, potteries and manufactories—and construct canal or rail links. Coal and iron support construction, while beer can help you sell your products.
Plan how your industries, resources and transport links work together as the economy changes between eras. The game rewards growing your income, selling products and connecting industries with merchant towns.
Players who enjoy the digital version often value it as a faithful way to play the board game, practice its rules and try strategies against AI. Some find the AI useful or competent, though others describe it as weak or repetitive. A recurring complaint is that online play is unavailable or fails during registration; reviewers also report freezes and bugs.
