Most interactive economic game ever made
Brass: Birmingham is a heavy game (weight 8/10). The decision tree is among the deepest in the hobby (10/10), with meaningful long-term planning every turn. Decision density is intense (9/10) — expect brain-burn and the occasional bout of AP. Interaction is maxed (10/10) — every turn shapes what your opponents can do. Direct conflict exists but is contained (5/10).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
