Brass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game sequel to Martin Wallace' 2007 masterpiece, Brass. Birmingham tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the industrial revolution, between the years of 1770-1870.

As in its predecessor, you must develop, build, and establish your industries and network, in an effort to exploit low or high market demands.

Each round, players take turns according to the turn order track, receiving two actions to perform any of the following actions (found in the original game):

  • Build - Pay required resources and place an industry tile.
  • Network - Add a rail / canal link, expanding your network.
  • Develop - Increase the VP value of an industry.
  • Sell - Sell your cotton, manufactured goods and pottery.
  • Loan - Take a £30 loan and reduce your income.
  • Brass: Birmingham also features a new sixth action:

  • Scout - Discard three cards and take a wild location and wild industry card. (This action replaces Double Action Build in original Brass.)
  • The game is played over two halves: the canal era (years 1770-1830) and the rail era (years 1830-1870). To win the game, score the most VPs. VPs are counted at the end of each half for the canals, rails and established (flipped) industry tiles.

    Birmingham features dynamic scoring canals/rails. Instead of each flipped industry tile giving a static 1 VP to all connected canals and rails, many industries give 0 or even 2 VPs. This provides players with the opportunity to score much higher value canals in the first era, and creates interesting strategy with industry placement.

    Iron, coal, and cotton are three industries which appear in both the original Brass as well as in Brass: Birmingham.

    Brewing has become a fundamental part of the culture in Birmingham. You must now sell your product through traders located around the edges of the board. Each of these traders is looking for a specific type of good each game. To sell cotton, pottery, or manufactured goods to these traders, you must also "grease the wheels of industry" by consuming beer. For example, a level 1 cotton mill requires one beer to flip. As an incentive to sell early, the first player to sell to a trader receives free beer.

    Birmingham features three all-new industry types:

  • Brewery - Produces precious beer barrels required to sell goods.
  • Manufactured goods - Function like cotton, but features eight levels. Each level of manufactured goods provides unique rewards, rather than just escalating in VPs, making it a more versatile (yet potentially more difficult) path vs cotton.
  • Pottery - These behemoths of Birmingham offer huge VPs, but at a huge cost and need to plan.
  • Increased Coal and Iron Market size - The price of coal and iron can now go up to $8 per cube, and it's not uncommon.

    Brass: Birmingham is a finely brewed sequel to one of history's most industrial economic games. It offers a very different story arc and experience from its predecessor. Many of the tried and true strategies of the original are no longer as powerful as they once were, and other interesting new strategies are waiting for you to discover.

    A hardy chew toy
    Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium, Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
    My dog loves these! I have purchased several. The size is perfect for my 25-pound cockapoo. It’s durable and she chews them for months until they’re prickly and not as fun anymore. The price is reasonable enough and she loves them so well (they’re one of the two chew toys that she likes), so I feel like the cost is worth it. One thing to note is that my dog does chew off tiny bits from the bone. She usually spits them out but has swallowed some bits here and there. There hasn’t been a situation with the swallowed pieces, but I always monitor her as she uses it and would suggest that for other pet owners also. Safety is always key, but we have never had any problems in the two years I’ve been buying them.

    Golden approves. Good size. Durability is hard, she did end up chewing the heck out of it. Great for puppies.

    Don't recommend for any type of chewers
    Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: Medium
    Same product, don't recommend due to slicing of material. My pup is a chewer and he was a 4mo old Chug at the time. Not worth my worrying about him swallowing plastic

    Dogs of all ages love these bones
    Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Peanut Butter, Size: 2 Count (Pack of 1)
    All my dogs love these bones. My older dogs as well as a teething puppy. These bones helped when my puppy was teething. My older dogs always enjoy a good chew. Doesn’t disturb the stomachs. They lasted long time. I was not worried my dog was chewing something bad. I wish they were thicker. The pet store sells this brand for $6 each. I feel like I m getting a bargain buying here.
