some more notes on the final:
no single level 4 cotton was built
all railroad tracks (except my omission in final turn. but i should have built the track) were built.
12 coal mines on the map. that’s a lot. (only 9 activated cotton)
all level 2 shipyards and even a level 1 shipyard were constructed.
i have always been “Mr. Cotton” who smiled when coal mines (“nearly no VP! just a waste of time”) popped up on the map, and who developed up to cotton 3 asap, thinking “you can’t win without high level cotton”.
but Snotty’s landslide victory in the semifinal (no cotton/no port) really changed my view on Brass.
so again it showed that “you can learn the most by losing”.
never feel discouraged by losing in Brass. it’s the best what can happen to you
Brass must be one of the best and deepest boardgames of all.
i’m so glad about this great digital adaptation.
a next Brass tourney will come for sure.
and i feel ready for Terra Mystica
