And loved the ones they added at the end, becouse when new players want to check Connection thing, they can easly see it in the back. Only thing difficult is to teach new players that coal needs to be connected and iron not.. i have found that this is hardest part for new player to wrap their head around, and it really shows in the start of the railroad era, when railroads need coal 😁

@27:10 I played Brass Birmingham once, and it did feel punishing. It was a while ago, but I remember someone getting in my way and making things harder for me even though I was way in last place. The first place player was running away with the win, but the other player was saying that the cards she had didn't allow her to play against the winning player. So I was trying to keep my head above water while second place pounded on me and the rules-teacher skated to the W. But he was also one of those people who withhold some information during the teach so that he can maintain an edge. I remember asking a couple times how to do something, and he would not answer. Like I was trying to get him to reveal his deepest secrets. So maybe it was the teacher. Not the game?

"It is interactive but not cutthroaty." - Agreed! I think this is why it is such a hit with me and my brother. We love interaction and economics, but we usually game at 2 players, and definitely prefer them less on the mean side. As such I think I'd recommend Birmingham at two players (in addition to 3-4) - which I probably would not do for any other economic game (though take my recommendation with a grain of salt as I don't think BGG agrees with me on this!) Also, you are spot on with the rulebook. Looks gorgeous and is well-written. But the organization is all over the place. I think they repeat some rules 3 or 4 times.

@@Shelfside Coal and iron closest to the building location gives the game an extra layer of hard decision making to the game. If both resources on the board are the same distance away you may choose which to take. In my first plays the overbuild also seemed inefficient but it can be a powerfull move. Sometimes you need to have a fast coal/irom/beer resource and build the level 1 industry (a develop action may not be the best option to take at the moment). The benefit of overbuilding is that it can raise your income fast in the game if flipped. Overbuilding will add new resources on the same location and if it's a strategical location for the train era you won't loose the industry on that location. If you are also able to flip the level 2 industry before the ending of the canal era you will gain income a second time. The only downside is that you won't gain the points of the level 1 industry tile at the ending of the canal era.

Also, nothing feels better than orchestrating 4 actions in a row by taking two cheaper actions than everyone else followed by two more great ones. Get wrecked!

It’s the best game. Period. However it’s so tense that I don’t feel like playing it often. You have to plan so much. So I disagree. It was a HUGE brain burner for us

I can totally relate 😂 I can play 3 Wingspan or Raiders of Scythia in a play session, but I can only play just one Brass: Birmingham. Haha.

There is Your Favorite Game. There IS no "best" game, unless you are going to list a series of objective criteria that EVERYONE agrees makes one game better than another.
