@Chewy77

[Chewy77]

Discard my Liverpool card to get a loan of 20 pounds, and that’s all I can do.

[Captbnut]

You have to discard a card even to pass, so you may as well do something if you can afford it.

I’m not good at Brass Birmingham, but I believe this game is best not played in a vacuum, allowing your opponents to do something when you also benefit can be a good tactic.

[Chewy77]

Can I use the money I just received from the loan?
