{"product_id":"brass-lancashire","title":"Brass Lancashire Board Game","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrass: Lancashire first published as Brass is an economic strategy game that tells the story of competing cotton entrepreneurs in Lancashire during the industrial revolution. You must develop, build, along with establish your industries and network so that you can capitalize demand for iron, coal along with cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe game is played over two halves: the canal phase along with the rail phase. To win the game, score the most victory points (VPs), which are counted at the end of each half.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVPs are gained from your canals, rails, as well as established (flipped) industry tiles. Each round, players take turns according to the turn order track, receiving two actions to perform any of the following: Build an industry tile Build a rail or canal Develop an industry Sell cotton Take a loan At the end of a player's turn, they replace the two cards they played with two more from the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurn order is determined by how much money a player spent on the previous turn, from lowest spent first to highest spent. This turn order mechanism opens some strategic options for players going later in the turn order, allowing for the possibility of back-to-back turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter all the cards have been played the first time (with the deck size being adjusted for the number of players), the canal phase ends as well as a scoring round commences. After scoring, all canals and all of the lowest level industries are removed for the game, after which new cards are dealt and the rail phase begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring this phase, players may now occupy more than one location in a city and a double-connection build (though expensive) is possible. At the end of the rail phase, another scoring round takes place, then a winner is crowned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cards limit where you can build your industries, but any card can be used for the develop, sell cotton or build connections actions. This leads to a strategic timing\/storing of cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResources are common so that if one player builds a rail line (which requires coal) they have to use the coal from the nearest source, which may be an opponent's coal mine, which in turn gets that coal mine closer to scoring (i.e., being utilized).
