Pros
- Parent context: Can’t imagine playing a board game that’s color scheme is themed around grey Reply: I think the board is pretty damn beautiful. I love the colourscheme! Funny how things can differ so much.
- Parent context: Last time that i purchaased a board game online i placed it on my cart. The heavyness that i suspect it carries was reason enough for me to remove it. Reply: I play a lot of medium-heavy games and this is closer to ticket...
- Best Game!! Have fun ✌🏻
- I've known the name of this game for years, and today I finally got the chance to play it for the first time. What an awesome game!
- When I’m done weeping uncontrollably, Ark Nova, Brass Birmingham, Heat, Ticket To Ride and Dune Imperium Uprising. I feel like that’s a couple of my favourite medium games and a few medium heavy ones.
Cons
- Can’t imagine playing a board game that’s color scheme is themed around grey
- I’ve only played a couple of times and both times felt I was struggling to grasp what I should be focusing on or working towards. I beat my wife both times but also felt like we were missing something.
- The heavyness that i suspect it carries was reason enough for me to remove it. Seeing the amount of pieces really confirm my fear. Yet, it does look amazing
- Tom Vasel's review of Brass Birmingham comes to mind. He didn't like it but still managed to hit every little things that others may like.
- Last night we cracked open a fresh copy of Brass Birmingham. It was not even our first time playing it, we know the rules, we know the flow. But Dave spent a solid twelve minutes on a single turn in the canal era just staring at his card...

Reply: I play a lot of medium-heavy games and this is closer to ticket to ride than it is to something like Ark Nova or a Lacerda. Dead streamlined and rules light. I’ve taught it to non-gamers

I find the gameplay of those games incredibly intuitive.
