Victorian industrial strategy — leaner, meaner, just as brilliant.
Vibe's take
Tense, precise, economically brutal.
Who it's for
Strategy gamers who want a tighter, faster industrial puzzle than Birmingham.
Not for you if…
You find economic games with loans stressful or want something lighter.
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.
