Birmingham Features Dynamic board setup makes each game unfold completely. Maybe that changed, but my box of Brass got dinged in the shipping process, and I can't imagine many boxes surviving in mint condition if they get shipped like that. Deluxe Edition, containing the Iron Clays, and all Kickstarter stretch goals. Manufacturer: Roxley Game Laboratory Brass: Birmingham tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham and the surrounding area during England’s Industrial Revolution, between the years of 1770-1870. The lettering on the box cover is nice, sure, but it was sent to me in a shipping box that was form fitting - no packing materials, and no room for them in the first place. Art & Graphic Design: Damien Mammoliti, Mr. Game Design: Matt Tolman, Martin Wallace, Gavan Brown. Other features include a custom storage tray and black died chitboard for all tiles and tokens. The insert barely does anything besides look nice - it is mostly there to house the poker chips, but it does basically nothing in terms of improving storage for the game (I would argue it makes it worse, with the larger box and the card holders not being an improvement over a plastic bag). In the Deluxe Edition of the Brass Birmingham, you will receive a set of 78 Iron Clays Game Counters to replace the chitboard money tokens. If you intend to use the Iron Clays for many games, I would get a larger set separately. Brass Deluxe Deluxe version: Birmingham, the sequel to the Brass game, a strategy and economy game, masterpiece of Martin Wallace. additional games or Iron Clays can order them at the regular preorder link. As far as poker chips go, I think Iron Clays are fine, but for a lot of games (Food Chain Magnate in my case), there aren't enough of them. Brass: Birmingham and Brass: Lancashire Deluxe Editions are STILL available. Truly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the level of support we've received so far.Basically, I have both versions of Birmingham, and I would never recommend the deluxe version over the retain version. Agreed, with shelf space always at a premium I opted for the narrower standard release of Brass, then got Iron clay 200s on the side. ago General consensus seems to be experienced Brass players prefer Lancashire, players new to the system favour Birmingham. Custom 2-piece modular VAC tray insert. Lancashire is more cutthroat, tight, and interactive, whereas Birmingham is more forgiving and has more branching options to take.
#BRASS BIRMINGHAM DELUX EDITON VS STANDARD UPGRADE#
Foil box upgrade along the edges of the boxes. We will continue to do everything we can to ensure that the artwork and gameplay are polished, and that the experience is as good as we can make it. What makes the Deluxe different from the retail version: - Upgraded player mats. In the Deluxe Edition of the Brass Birmingham, you will receive a set of 78 Iron Clays Game Counters to replace the chitboard money tokens. We have made a conscious choice that when these goals are reached, the game will be considered complete.Įvery member of our team has worked very hard for over a year to bring these games to you. As such, we have come up with a list of component, aesthetic and content upgrades for the game that we feel truly enhance the Brass experience.

We feel that adding content just for the sake of having more stretch goals is disservice to this beautiful game. You could say that Santorini was a perfect game for endless stretch goals.īrass Lancashire and Birmingham on the other hand are extremely deep and complete systems right out of the box. In our last campaign, Santorini, coming up with such stretch goals was very easy as each god power completely changes the way the game plays and after 30 years of development, Gord was an expert on generating new content. For me that was a positive, less box depth means more shelf space.

The retail has no insert whatsoever, so everything sits flush in the box. The box itself is also deeper, about 3 for deluxe vs 1.5 for the retail.

Regarding Stretchgoals - Roxley is a firm believer in only adding stretch goals that will truly enhance a game experience. Molded plastic insert that actually functions quite well.
