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
Great app for those familiar with the original Brass (2007) boardgame
This is an excellent implementation of a great boardgame for playing on iPad. Brass (2007), now called Brass:Lancashire). The screen displays, game board, scoreboard, turn play animations, and turn action options are very clearly presented, and make playing easy for the experienced player. The AI that controls the computer opponents (if played solo) also seems excellent.
I have the actual boardgame but I reached an impasse trying to learn the rules, and so I did the full tutorial in this app for iPad, and then with the printed rulebook in hand, the app ready to play, and the actual boardgame set up identically on my table, I just played through a solo learning game. Overall it’s helped me better understand the game play, but I wish I could stop or at least slow down the computer turn moves so I could learn from how they were playing. I also wish there was a button I could tap to get recommendations for my next move.
So, overall, this is a great implementation for experienced players, and with a couple additional Help features it would be a valuable tool for learning Brass.
My New Toilet Game
Nothing kills the time sitting in the washroom like a great eurogame port, and boy am I happy to find a solid app version of Brass. The art is lovely, the interface functional, and the game is, of course, fantastic. The only reason this app does not earn a full 5 star rating is that I, like a few other folks before me it seems, am bothered by the lack of an undo button available before finalizing your turn. Nothing ruins a good game of Brass like gambling it all for a shipyard in Birkenhead only to realize you’ve just accidentally spent 8 quid on port development. Weak a critique as that is, you should definitely still buy this port if you love Brass.
A Great Implementation of a Modern Board Game
This is a great implementation of the board game Brass: Lancashire by Martin Wallace. It is a tense economic board game where you try to outsmart your opponents - building coal mines, iron works, and cotton mills at the right time.
The hard part is that as you build across England, you can only access the cities connected to your network of canals and railways. When you spend more money than your opponents, you move after them in the following turn.
It ends up being a delicate balance of spending and saving money, while striking at the right time to score points.
The AI is good enough that I have problems beating them in a four-player game, but it really shines with multiplayer. I've been having fun playing with my board game group that moved across the country. The notifications sometimes don't work, so we use Discord to let the next player know when it's their turn.
We also noticed a minor display bug with the distant markets, but it doesn't really affect gameplay.
Overall a great game, even if there is somewhat of a learning curve.
