There are two tracks that show each players progression: (1) victory point track with midgame scoring and endgame scoring, and (2) income track that shows how much money a player will make at the end of a round. There are 29 different spots for these tokes and 4 or so of each specific token goes per spot, in a specific numbered order. Brass is a demanding game of economics, where players build monopolies in various industries during the Industrial Revolution. Each player gets a board and on these boards you have to place all the industry tokens that you will use throughout the game. Brass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game sequel to Martin Wallace 2007. The MEAT of the time it takes to set up are the individual player boards. The card setup is rather fast as you just lay down the wild cards in their respective parts, shuffle the main deck and deal cards to each player and place the rest face down in its spot. The setup takes quite a while for this one. The cardboard stock they use for the player board tokens are thick and feel very sturdy.
The cards all feel nice and the tokens are of a good quality with some wooden squares for the iron and coal tokens and some wooden beer barrels that are shaped like little barrels.
