Brass: Birmingham

Everything arrived in amazing shape

My gaming group was looking to take on a heavier worker placement game and we found what we were looking for in Brass: Birmingham.

Have played this a few times with 2 and 3 people, and it plays great. Rules can be difficult to grasp for the first few hands but by the Rail Era, everyone knows what's going on. Great game to strategize for your own moves, but everyone's decisions impact each other. One of my new favorites!

Tight but crunchy gameplay. Great at all player counts

Great economic game that is tense from beginning to end

The game is really fun and while slightly confusing at first, the game really gets simple with many ways to approach. When playing with 4 players it gets really fun using other people’s networks and overbuilding enemy iron and coal mines. Great game for the price.

Great game, a bit complex but there is a reason it is ranked #1 on board game geek

This is a fairly heavy game, but thematic and fun. Recommend if you are into this style of game and have a group that likes heavier games.

Very tight game and easier to teach to newcomers than Brass: Lancashire. The artwork is gorgeous and rulebook is well written. The map is a little expansive for 2 players (Lancashire has the edge there) but it does play well at 2, just requires an awareness of the available cards. But on that topic, the cards are well printed and sturdy. Everything about the game screams quality and I can’t recommend it enough

Brass Birmingham is a truly beautiful game both in content and presentation. It is not as tight and unforgiving as Brass Lancashire, but that makes it a better game for me.
