The only thing reminding me to check my Brass game is you guys posting about not getting notifications.

I check fairly frequently out of a need to end my misery. I donāt know what Iām doing.
Really fun game - I got out to an early lead, ran out of money and clung on for dear life at the end!

You were absolutely right about it being a really fun game though - particularly the Rail Era where the middle rounds really seemed like it was anyoneās game. Overbuilding, track blocking, multiple cotton shipments in one turn - great stuff!

Table 1:
Hardco 197
@SpiceTheCat 174
@KYakerDude 161
Iām no expert at this game, but I stuck to the standard advice of donāt build level 1 industries and donāt build canals. By the end I ran out of Cotton Mills, Ironworks and Coal Mines, and had to use my last action to build a 1 point link!
Good game everyone!

Not sure what table, but @jason1002 (red) over @whovian223 (purple) and @Mirefox (yellow)
Basically put on a clinic.
Good game!

That was an excellent game, with close scores through a lot of the game, thanks both @Hardco and @KYakerDude. I was bitten by the risk you run with a ports-and-shipyard strategy, specifically not drawing any shipyard, Birkenhead or Barrow cards for the entire rail phase. Once it was clear that @Hardcoās mills were going to take the day, I started looking for ways to tread on @KYakerDudeās fingers for second place.
Brass is an awesome game. Maybe itās time for another tournament.

Clearly you both knew what you were doing. I was just bumbling along building canals and had no strategy. The second phase didnāt give me many useful cards. I wanted to build shipyards but couldnāt get access to the locations.
Fun game.
Thatās how I played. I donāt understand why I can or canāt build at certain times and I ended up playing the game like I would play Tocket to Ride, lolā¦

Looks like a hard-fought game - and Iām going to have to check what I said about tie-break rules for seeding the next round!
Congrats @jason1002 on the big score! And at least @Mirefox didnāt have to suffer for long and had fun building some railroadsā¦

If it helps, I just randomed everyone with the same point totalā¦
@hardco thanks - up to this point Iāve been using the rankings from last Decathlon, but with 4 games done in 2021 we have enough data that I can use number of wins and then head-to-head history to break ties pretty easily now. I just couldnāt remember off the top of my head how I was planning to do it when I wrote that last post. 
you can tap on nearly everything to get useful help text and informations.
to see the ādetailsā just tap on the shaded card.
