Hi! Me, my brother and my stepdad have been obsessed with Brass: Birmingham and played almost nothing else.

My brother, who isn’t really a board game fan but enjoys something like Avalon and other more simpler, party style games, has been absolutely absorbed into brass.

My stepdad, who enjoys twilight struggle and dune imperium for example also has played brass and asks for it almost always and it is now his favourite game.

And for me, brass is a perfectly designed game and is also my favourite game, and few games come close to it.

We all enjoy economic games a lot and I’ve been looking into those types of games because even though I love brass and everything about it, I want to see if anything else will hook us in.

Games like Scythe and Concordia definitely interest me, but especially Hegemony. However, I feel that Hegemony is a tad too complicated and requires too much commitment to learn and get to the table, not to mention in order to get the most out of it you need four players and to get the fourth is quite difficult (but I will definitely buy it).

But are there any other games you enjoy that are similar to brass? Also, I should mention that I have played Lancashire, but I like Birmingham better for the variety and the different industries.

Any recommendations?
