92/100

As an enthusiast of complex economic simulations, I find the digital adaptation of Brass to be an absolute masterclass in board game porting. It captures the cutthroat spirit of the Industrial Revolution with terrifying precision. The game demands that you think three steps ahead—not just about your own cotton mills and iron works, but about how your opponents might inadvertently help you by providing the coal you need to flip your tiles.

The interface is remarkably clean for a game with so many moving parts, and the artwork maintains that moody, soot-stained atmosphere of Lancashire. What I appreciate most is the 'connected' nature of the gameplay; you aren't just playing on a map, you're building a living infrastructure. It’s a deep, rewarding challenge that rewards patient strategy over flashy tactics. For fans of heavy strategy, this is an essential mobile experience.

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.

Brass is a deep economic strategy game where players take the roles of entrepreneurs in 18th-century Lancashire. Your goal is to build a dominant economic engine by constructing cotton mills, coal mines, and iron works. Success requires careful management of your hand of cards, timing your sales to market demand, and strategically developing infrastructure. The game is split into the Canal Age and the Rail Age, forcing players to adapt their logistics as technology evolves.
