Brass Lancashire

Brass: Lancashire is an economic strategy game that tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Lancashire during the Industrial Revolution. You must develop, build and establish your industries and network so that you can meet the demand for iron, coal and cotton.

The board represents a map of England during its industrial revolution. The cities present can accommodate certain types of factories. Each player has a personal board of factory tiles (coal mine, steelworks, cotton mill, port and shipyard) and a hand of 8 factory cards. He can play 2 per turn. We also need to connect cities together. To do this, during the first half of the game you will use canals then during the second half of the game you will gradually replace them with railways.

In Brass: Lancashire, victory points correspond to industrialization, canals and rails earn victory points. While factories only earn points when they can produce and mines only when they can deliver extracted resources to factories. To win the game, score the most victory points, which are counted at the end of each phase.
