Brass: Birmingham

Yeah it's amazing if you're playing with other people who get it. Lots of different strategies and the split in ages canal/rail is a genius mechanic.

Cool, fellow Brass gamers :)

Yeah, I was thinking, I would add an extension and made 3rd are - automobile era - third connections - roads :D
I always feel unsatisfied after two eras.

What are your strategies?
What do you like to build?
What ****** you off?
Are you a transport master with all those taken connections, or a brewery lord? :)
 
This game has two different settings - for 2 players and then for 3-4.
Funny part is, when you play with 2 players, its easier to plan next move. When you play with 4 players - I normally wait till its my turn as everything can chnage on a board before I come next :)

I prefer to focus on levelling mills but tbh it does depend on what everyone else is looking at going for. Not normally the one building canals/rails!

I usually play with cotton houses when they give double points for connections, always try to build first coal and iron in first era and of course build first pottery:)
I also take 2x loans in first era.

How do you find thsoe coins in game?

I was so ****** with 20s, so useless in most of the time, even when plyaing 4 players, 20s were hardly sued at the end of the game.
I decided to "redesign" images of 20 pounds coin and printed my own on stickers and made my 20s to be 10s now - whole game is phenomenal now :D

Yeah agreed we don't tend to get to use them when playing and tend to only start getting decent money at the end as hardly have any during the canal period!
 
Cool, same here :)

Roxley, producer of Brass announced new version year ago, it supposed to be kickstarted thsi year.
 
Enjoy this game but took a while to play it fully following the rules.

I do still wonder if we are getting things wrong, as often don't see anyone building the really high level tiles.

LIttle hint - in first era, make some upgrades and build and sell 2nd level buildings - this way you will make those points double count - in 1st and 2nd era.
