It is also undeniably deep. Unfortunately learning and playing the game is so vastly counter-intuitive (it's not that complex, it just messes totally with the sort of cause-and-effect chains usually seen in games) that I fail to see why, when there are soooo many games of this type around, I would spend the required time with Brass in order to get to grips with it properly. As usual with economic games, I'd rather play Puerto Rico instead. ]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2020 19:02:08 +0000 https://www.therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1324 https://www.therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=1324 Big ugly noisy heavy game from Wallace. Not particularly fun to play. ]]> Fri, 19 Apr 2019 20:21:29 +0000 https://www.therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=199 https://www.therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=199 This is a fairly dry economic euro game but still I've enjoyed playing it each time. I own a copy but I may trade it or sell it even if I liked the game. ]]> Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:51:05 +0000 https://www.therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=194 https://www.therewillbe.games/boardgames-main-menu/boardgame-directory/discussions/review?id=194 I like Wallace but this one is just to straight forward a money to victory points conversion game. The player interaction is just a bit of blocking positions other players would have used. I wonder if in the future we won't look back on these low interaction victory point machine games in the way we look back on hair metal or prog rock. Yeah, there are always good examples of a genre but this isn't one of them. ]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:48:04 +0000
