A game of business development and railroad construction during the industrial revolution in England.
Build a solid network and make good use of those built by your opponents, carefully manage your resources, and for God’s sake, only get a loan when the time is right.
This is one of Martin Wallace’s masterpieces, with an intuitive economic engine and original game mechanics that require you to—gasp—share resources with your opponents. You might not like it at first, but if you manage to time your actions just right, you’ll be able to get that second shipyard built in Liverpool, and score the big points by game end.
For me, Brass: Lancashire is absolutely a Top 10 game, with its sister game Brass: Birmingham not far behind. And this new edition is a real beauty.
Most easily forgotten rule: A network connection is required for consuming coal, but NOT for iron.
