The artists have shown great attention to detail such as the raised gold lettering on the box, the coordinating soft color palette across all of the components, and the exquisite illustrations on the location and industry cards. The artwork for Brass Lancashire is beautiful, radiating a classic style evocative of the theme (industrial era production). Sure, there’s a resemblance, but the kissing feels different.

Playing Lancashire after playing Birmingham is a bit like dating someone and then dating their sibling. Is there even a chance I could enjoy it as much as Birmingham? Lancashire was the original game designed by Martin Wallace, and while it’s been updated for the most recent release, I was concerned it might prove to be an older, tired version that couldn’t compete with Birmingham. It was an all time top 10 best games ever kind of love and so when Roxley Game Laboratory offered to send me Brass Lancashire to play and share my thoughts, I was a bit hesitant. A few months ago, I fell in love with Brass Birmingham (you can read that review HERE).
