Where it came from
Age of Industry was designed by Martin Wallace and released in 2010. It serves as a streamlined, standalone successor to his acclaimed 2007 title, Brass. While the original Brass is renowned for its deep economic complexity and rigid turn structure, Wallace developed Age of Industry to offer a more accessible, variable experience that could accommodate different map expansions.
The game centers on the industrial revolution in various regions, tasking players with building infrastructure and manufacturing goods to meet demand. The design philosophy behind this iteration focused on tightening the game loop and refining the rail-building mechanics. Upon its release, it was well-received by strategy enthusiasts who appreciated the balance between its approachable ruleset and the high level of tactical decision-making characteristic of Wallace's broader catalogue of heavy tabletop titles.
