Brass: Birmingham is a masterfully designed and thematically rich sequel to the legendary strategy game Brass, taking players into the heart of England’s Industrial Revolution in the West Midlands, between 1770 and 1870. Step into the shoes of ambitious entrepreneurs competing to build industrial empires, connect cities, develop technologies—and, of course, brew beer!

This heavy, tactical board game combines hand management, network building, and economic decision-making that challenges your long-term planning and adaptability. While the core rules are deceptively straightforward, Brass: Birmingham unfolds into a deep and rewarding strategic experience, featuring a variable turn order, dynamic board setup, and a refined gift economy system.

Unlike its predecessor, every game of Brass: Birmingham begins with a unique setup, ensuring high replayability and a fresh experience each time you play. The game introduces three new industries—breweries, potteries, and manufactured goods—bringing new mechanics and fresh strategies into play. A new scoring system for canals and railways adds depth to your infrastructure planning.

With stunning illustrations by Damien Mammoliti and Mr. Cuddington, elegant graphic design, and premium-quality components, Brass: Birmingham is a work of art in the world of board games.
If you’ve played the original Brass, you’ll find the rules easy to pick up, but the gameplay is an entirely new experience—deeper, more complex, and even more exciting. It’s no surprise that Brass: Birmingham ranks among the top-rated games of all time on BoardGameGeek.
