Brass Birmingham is the gripping economic strategy board game that transports you to Birmingham during the first century of the Industrial Revolution. This ambitious sequel to Martin Wallace's revered Brass lets you step into the shoes of rival entrepreneurs as they build networks, shape markets, and push their city into modern prosperity over 100 years of relentless change. In Brass Birmingham, you’ll craft and expand your own industrial empire, balancing resource extraction, network construction, and shifting markets as canals evolve into railways. Compete for influence, unlock lucrative opportunities, and aim for the top through smart plays, timing, and long-term planning. Two eras—the Canal Age and the Railway Age—each with its own incentives and strategic twists. Card-driven action mechanics that reveal your plans while keeping rivals guessing. Dynamic markets and resource management that reward timing, flexibility, and clever partnerships. Engine-building and network design—connect industries, develop routes, and optimize income and points. Accessible yet deep design that scales from casual game nights to seasoned Brass veterans seeking new challenges. Whether you’re a longtime Brass fan or discovering this world for the first time, Brass Birmingham delivers a richly thematic, highly competitive experience that rewards bold decisions and precise planning.
