Description
Top Mobile Board Game of 2015 by Board Game Geek and Board Game Quest
Top 10 Strategy Game. Acclaimed by players and awarded in 2007, 2008 and 2010!
Brass is a demanding economic game. An outstanding game about money and monopolies. Players take the roles of entrepreneurs attempting to make the most money from various industries during the Industrial Revolution. Each player needs to build an economic engine that surpasses all the others.
BUILD
Industries are the key to success. Will you become a Cotton Magnate owning the most Cotton Mills in Lancashire? Or do you prefer selling Coal and Iron to others? Ports and Shipyards are key constructions as well, since the others cannot function without them in the long term.
CONNECT
Build canals and later rails to connect towns and cities. Only then can you benefit from all the industries built in the country, even those built by your opponents!
DEVELOP
R&D is essential. The better developed industries you have, the more effective they are. Should others neglect development, your path to victory will be easier.
TRADE
It’s not what you have produced, but the thing you sold that makes ‘brass’ (said with a
thick Yorkshire accent - ‘brass’ being a local term for money). Watch the markets carefully and sell at the proper time!
WIN
Use the produced supplies and activate Industries, upgrade rails, save money. The most effective entrepreneur is the winner.

Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant implementation of a classic
First class implementation, everything is clear and easy to use. I think I’ve found a bug, though - the distant market doesn’t seem to work properly. The revealed values in the grid seem to change, so you can never be sure how much demand there really is. And I mean within a single era, of course... Also I think I was awarded an achievement for selling three cotton in one turn when I’m pretty sure I only sold two.
Also some suggestions:
- I’d love to be able to view the map once the game has finished. It’s always good to be able to go back and look at your mistakes, or bask in your glory.
- It’d be great if the location cards included a marker to show where on the map they are. I know you can tap them, but an at-a-glance reminder would be good.
- I’d like to see how much the last player in each round spent before the amounts are wiped and the player order is changed.
- I’d love new graphics that match the Roxley edition of the game, at least as an option.
- Birmingham. Nuff said.
Good fun, but some rule differences to the board game
I’ve enjoyed playing this but I have noticed some differences between the rules of the board game and this implementation. These are worth being aware of if you play competitively.
1. You can overbuild an opponent’s iron industry if iron is priced at 5 (rather than completely sold out as per the game).
2. Overbuilt industries lose their VP and income boost to the controlling player (rather than just VP as per the game).
Good implementation of a great boardgame
I haven't tried online play yet, but I have played a couple of offline games and it works well. If you know the boardgame you will be up and running immediately. If not, it looks like the in-game tutorial and information will really help you get to grips with this great boardgame.
