About this game

The older sibling of Brass: Birmingham, and still a masterpiece. Build cotton mills and iron works across Lancashire's industrial heartland — two eras, two modes of transport, one brutal economic puzzle. Leaner than Birmingham but no less demanding; the game that proves the formula was brilliant from the start.
