Brass: Birmingham - Shut Up & Sit Down Review 

2 out of 5 stars: No canal plunge

That's what the boy is for.

He doesn't 😟

You should never stick the playing surface in your mouth.

Most game components have been in Quinns’ mouth

And how would you rate the policeman's work?

Saddened by an assumption that you're smarter than most people, oh boy.

I think there was cake too.

I think someone told him to try streaming and he got confused

What he said

What they said

"Is it not essentially the same game as original Brass with improved artwork and subtle mechanics changes?" Basically it's those various small changes that have helped turn it from an absolute grind into something more enjoyable. As Matt explains, the simple facts that there's more resource types and some resources move differently than others and the board state changes each game means the inexorable crushing of the life out of north England doesn't have the same bottlenecks it used to where taking an action meant chiseling out some tiny, largely ceremonial busywork. With Birmingham, meaningful choices and planning are much more possible, and it makes for more fun and less time sitting around trying to decipher what token contribution you can give that will make the game end.

I grew up in Kiddi too! Made me laugh that the first time you see it it just has two 'orrible red brick carpet factory looking buildings on it! "Oh! The designers have BEEN THERE!"

Could be new lightning too

No it wasn't.

Did you fall in a canal?

I wish...

Liar.

Birmingham's great (no I'm not a brummie).

Jared how did you get on with the game?

@@khew1 Really well, actually. My wife and I found it to be one of our favorite 2-player games. The only quibble we have with the game is that ceramics is just a bit too good. We found the deciding factor in who won the game was who had been able to get that first kiln. Your mileage will vary, but that's how our meta game developed. Anyway, this is an awesome engine-builder and absolutely worth your time.

​@@PaperMage236 any other board games you play together?

Actually you can play a woman too, although as an industrial in that era, it would have been quite exceptional.

Exceptional indeed! Most times your husband's ineptitude and decadence would burn through his entire estate before the arsenic finished him.

@@ExcludedLayman Hilariously one of the women featured actually brought her company from a man who had almost completely driven it into ruin and then continued to call himself the owner and in response she fired him.

They do expand upon this more in a podcast.

I think it is explained at around 6:37 - 8:20...

My thoughts exactly. I didn't find the explanation convincing enough either.

@@da1otta And here I thought they explained it perfectly well to be honest

Brass: Dunwall would be a blast indeed

Thats wordwang!

It's always boys

Isn't the same mechanic present in Railways of the World?

@@stevendufour Yes. I'm saying that taking loans is more necessary in Birmingham.

Be careful. The app also sideloads a phonecall to 999.

@Wizzykin i did actually. I have the basic retail version and I love it :)

Highly appreciate the edit, thanks :)

These levels of white male guilt are embarrassing but they did make it funny.

It was a joke, but I doubt they think "These levels of white male guilt are embarrassing." I don't. Not sure where you are coming from.

@@gmeaki02 Racist

That was so perfect.

Makes me think of Michael and webb

if you can download the RU-vid and edit it in a video software you can isolate the audio

It is a combination of things... beer means that early railroad in the befinning of second Era is not essential. You can make it a Little bit later if you like. More sell able items means variety so you can make something that other players Are not doing. You get more points from connections so you can score really high from connectioons instead/beside of building and flipping and so on... so ot is a combination of multible things.

Trading people instead of resources?
