A Great Implementation of a Modern Board Game

This is a great implementation of the board game Brass: Lancashire by Martin Wallace. It is a tense economic board game where you try to outsmart your opponents - building coal mines, iron works, and cotton mills at the right time.The hard part is that as you build across England, you can only access the cities connected to your network of canals and railways. When you spend more money than your opponents, you move after them in the following turn.It ends up being a delicate balance of spending and saving money, while striking at the right time to score points.The AI is good enough that I have problems beating them in a four-player game, but it really shines with multiplayer. I've been having fun playing with my board game group that moved across the country. The notifications sometimes don't work, so we use Discord to let the next player know when it's their turn.We also noticed a minor display bug with the distant markets, but it doesn't really affect gameplay.Overall a great game, even if there is somewhat of a learning curve.

Tough but good

The fact that I played for the first time 2 days ago and 3 games later have not done better than 3rd makes it a great game. I am usually sick of them because they are too easy to win with no replay value.

My New Toilet Game

Nothing kills the time sitting in the washroom like a great eurogame port, and boy am I happy to find a solid app version of Brass. The art is lovely, the interface functional, and the game is, of course, fantastic. The only reason this app does not earn a full 5 star rating is that I, like a few other folks before me it seems, am bothered by the lack of an undo button available before finalizing your turn. Nothing ruins a good game of Brass like gambling it all for a shipyard in Birkenhead only to realize you’ve just accidentally spent 8 quid on port development. Weak a critique as that is, you should definitely still buy this port if you love Brass.

Amazing game

I have heard about Brass for years and now get to play it on my tablet. An incredible game with many paths to victory and so many choices of delicious tension. I am still learning a lot about it but my mistakes are getting fewer! Great game for those who are interested in history as well as those who love real strategy.

Good looking game, but bugs break it in the rail era

I enjoy playing Brass on both my iPad and iPhone, and it works great in the canal era, but once the rail era starts, I’ve encountered a bug where I am unable to complete my turns as the check box to complete turns is unresponsive. A work around is to go to the main menu and then continue the game, but it’s cumbersome and sometimes skips the rest of your turn - for example if I attempt to develop two items on a turn, I am only able to develop once and when I go to the main menu and continue, it won’t let me develop a second time. Same applies when attempting to sell cotton twice on a turn. Would be a great implementation once this bug gets fixed.

Awesome game - keeps crashing

Love the game itself, and the implementation is not terrible. But it’s not great either (e.g. not friendly or intuitive). My biggest issue is that it keeps crashing in the middle and end of games. Good night, it can’t be that hard to make the game stable. My last straw is in my last game when it permanently crashed after my last turn! Gahhh.... so frustrating!!!

Not super easy to keep track of different colors

It would be great if the visuals showed greater difference between players, just having hats or colored border canals isn’t easy to see quickly. Also undo button would be great. Also being able to pull up interlays while it is ai turn.

Yet to win a game, 5/5

Perfectly fluid mechanics (with a presentation of what moves are possible and why certain ones aren't), beautiful artwork and animations, has online/offline/tutorials, never any lag or errors, and the computers are a bunch of clever a-holes. I wish the worst of luck to all of my fellow industrialists.

Solid Adaptation

It’s a real solid version of the classic Wallace board game. The interface is clear and it’s easy to follow what’s going on. The A.I. Is mostly competent and doesn’t make a lot of moves that leave you scratching your head. Only drawback is it takes a while to figure out all the rules if this is your first introduction to Brass. There’s no avoiding it as it’s the nature of the source material. They do an ok job with the tutorial; once you understand all the complex mechanics and the strategic impact of your choices it’s quite engaging.

Fun

Very fun. Some issues with it freezing, but exiting and reopening seem to fix it (and I don’t usually lose the game).Biggest complaint is the screen sizing with the notch, I lose either the top or side sections depending on the orientation. Would love to see that get fixed, since I usually play on my phone. Also, can we get brass Birmingham adapt :)

Description

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.
