great game. all scores together add up for a very good result in a 4P game.
geigerm suffered from early bankruptcy, but came back into the game.
Snotty had to suffer from brutal bad card draw luck at external market, closing it down and so giving me the chance to close down ports too.
so Snotty finished the game with the best potential score, but could not realize it, sitting on unshipped cotton.
Holsten suffered from dire straits in his very last move and could not carry out any victory plans (overbuild?/double-card iron at Barrow-i-F?).
and i suffered from in-the-middle-of-night tiredness and made a sloppy last turn, throwing away 2 more VP (should have built Northwich-Midlands of course).
guess i was just happy to have reached enough points for the win and so dropped the ball in that very moment.
a very enjoyable tournament. thanks to all players.
Brass is a perfect tournament game. not too long. no bugs.
and now…i can’t wait for my SP winner’s badge
