Brass

The latest game from the double act of Martin Wallace and Warfrog, Brass is a game of two halves. The game is about the Industrial Revolution – and particularly the cotton industry – in Lancashire. Players open coal mines, refine iron ore and produce cotton to ship to foreign parts (well, outside Lancashire). Each of these scores points, though the most valuable (and difficult) thing is to build a Shipyard.

As technology develops, buildings get more valuable, but need more raw materials. In the first part of the game, players build canals for transport. Then the railways arrive and things really take off – and a lot more coal is used. The trick is to balance what you build and take advantage of what the other players are doing. Another clever, challenging game from Martin Wallace.

For 3-4 players, aged 13+, playing time 2 hours: £25.00
 

Brass was designed by Martin Wallace and is published by Warfrog
