Roxley Games Brass: Birmingham – Critically Acclaimed Economic Strategy Game for 2–4 Players

wonderful game!

So I checked this game out because it's the second highest rated game on Boardgamegeek.com, and I have to say it does not disappoint. Ease of learning: there are a bit more rules than your more standard boardgames, but they are not overly complex, I would say anyone can get started playing in about 15-20 minutes. Value for money: while not the cheapest game, the strategic depth and beautiful artwork more than make up for it. In fact the game is so well designed and replayable, there's a competitive scene out there. Giftable: I wouldn't buy this game for people who haven't at least tried some other economic strategy board games (think Catan), but if the person have played and enjoys these type of board games, Brass is almost certainly a great gift that's highly enjoyable. 9/10 - would recommend

We are a family of board gamers, and this is easily the best in our collection. It seemed daunting at first, as there are a lot of what *look* like fiddly little rules. (E.g., if you need beer to complete a certain transaction, you need to have an appropriate rail or canal connection to it *if* it belongs to an opponent, but not if it belongs to you.) But once we played through, these rules not only started to make sense in a way that made them easy to remember, but also gave the game strategic depths that it is going to take *many* playthroughs to plumb. There is an exquisite balance between making decisions that will grow and enrich your own little industrial empire vs moves that will sabotage your opponents' efforts. And thanks to the random element provided by the card deck, no two games are alike. It's a bit like Catan, taken to 11 (though as good as Catan is, the comparison doesn't really to B:B justice). Finally, Roxley's customer service is *excellent*. We lost two of the game pieces in short order. (It doesn't help that we have two dogs who view things-that-fall-on-the-floor as treats, pretty much regardless of their nutritional value.) I wrote to Roxley asking if we could buy a "backup" set just of the game pieces – and they just went ahead and sent us one for free! These people clearly love games, and love people who love them.

A great game once you figure it out. Watch a video to understand the rules better… it’s medium complex.

Excelente juego. Todo llegó en perfecto estado. Los componentes son muy bonitos y la mecánica de juego es muy interesante.

game is good, shipping was 0/5 stars. will never buy again.

This is a great game for two players. The aesthetic is fantastic and gameplay is the best out there. I truly love this borad game.

Perfect

Simplesmente incrível a qualidade desse jogo, valeu cada centavo. Sem falar que é o melhor jogo economico que já joguei ate hoje, muito inteligente e te obriga sempre a fazer um planejamento e aproveitar as oportunidades. O Brass faz jus todo o hype criado a cerca dele.

My favourite game, best economic game ever made.

Não é a toa que este jogo é atualmente o top um no ranking do maior site de jogos do mundo, ele é muito bom mesmo

Box arrived damaged from origin. Was held together with tape.

All the components inside the box were in perfect condition but the box came with a couple of scratches. I imagine that this was due to the lax packaging but it doesn’t personally both me that much.
