I found a mod that includes the player boards, which should make it easier for everyone to keep track of their tiles. At the beginning of the game, everyone’s player board looks like this:

brass_player_board0
brass_player_board01079×707 823 KB

The turn order is: purple (@Captbnut), yellow (@GeeBizzle), red (@Benkyo), green (@Chewy77).

The restrictions for this turn are:

  • You only have one action (first turn only)
  • You may not build railways (canal era)
  • You may only build one tile in each location (canal era)
  • You must be connected to either a coal mine (belonging to any player) or the market to access coal. The connections do not need to be your link tiles.

I’ll PM everyone their cards shortly.

P.S. @Captbnut, I’m afraid TTS forced me to use purple instead of pink :frowning:

Can I confirm that ‘The Midlands’, ‘Yorkshire’ and ‘Scotland’ are the markets.

And is this the same as Brass Birmingham, where I draw cards to replace what I’ve played?

And what’s my starting cash please?

And finally, shall I post my turn directly in this thread, or by message to @Whistle_Pig to confirm it’s a legal move?

Sorry, I read the setup!

Buid a port in Ellesmere Port? Would that cost me 7 bob and the Ellesmer Port card?

Play Liverpool and build a canal between manchester and Warrington (£3).

Play manchester and take a £30 loan.

#18

Looking at the map, it’s only a train track between Ellesmere and Birkenhead. The canal is to Liverpool.

#19

I’m happy to pause my turn if chewy wants to take the canal I used up. Otherwise I’m happy to stick with my choice.

#20

Oops, now I made the image bigger I can see the canal does not go to Birkenhead, sorry
