Brass Birmingham Beginner Strategy

This is a strategy guide for the board game Brass Birmingham which is from designer Martin Wallace and published by Roxley games. I talk about things to consider when you are deciding how to begin the game.

Also I provide a couple of basic strategy tips which should give you some direction for your first game of Brass Birmingham! You may have heard of the hot new strategy board game Anno 1800 - well this is from the same designer!

Isn't it better if you are start player to take out loan? This means you will be start player again since you didn't buy anything and can develop a steam engine right away. If not first and people develop same thing. If last and all develop then canal is fine as what you said happens.(which is the best outcome for last player)

Thanks for this advice. My first game of Brass Birmingham last night since February 2020. Using these tips I won a rare victory.

Great tips! Even some things I hadn’t thought of yet and I have 20 logged plays! This is arguably my favorite euro. So tight and crunchy right up to the end.

I'm old school and play Lancashire. How about a similar video for that one? :-)
