Where it came from
Brass: Birmingham is a strategy board game designed by Martin Wallace, Gavan Brown, and Matt Tolman, released in 2018 as a successor to Wallace’s 2007 title, Brass: Lancashire. Set during the Industrial Revolution in England, the game challenges players to develop industries and expand networks across the West Midlands. It emerged from a successful Kickstarter campaign managed by Roxley Games, which aimed to refine the original’s economic mechanics while introducing updated art and more accessible player interactions.
The game is characterized by its deep, interlocking economic systems where players manage resource logistics and market demand. It was illustrated by Damien Mammoliti and incorporated high-quality production standards that contributed to its acclaim. Upon release, it was lauded by the hobby gaming community for its complex strategic depth and is frequently cited as one of the highest-rated board games on platforms such as BoardGameGeek, establishing itself as a hallmark of modern Eurogame design.
