Brass Birmingham is somewhat easy to learn (with a few exceptions here and there) so it is not too difficult to bring to the table. Where it shines is at the end of a wonderful turn or at the end of a game with the discussion that ensues: the “ohhs” and “ahhs” of a well executed strategy. Then you’ll find yourself playing again wanting to try something else and keeping an eye on that beer barrel that nobody seemed to look at… just to see it disappear right in front of you, stolen by another player! This is something well executed in Brass: you are constantly looking for the resources on the board, hoping that an adversary will help you flip your buildings but wishing that you’ll have enough for yourself. This is where you may show off your mastery of the game: plan ahead while still being able to react to what other players do. A truly great game!
Cool concept. Use the card of other player to play yours. Unpolluted and build. Wow!
Great quality and larger than you would expect. Keeps things organized and works with all expansions
