Another week with a lot of games and fun around the table, with two games nights .... once again.
The first night the people played two new games:
BRASS: Birmingham (2018) (KS Edition):
Brass: Birmingham is an economic strategy game sequel to Martin Wallace' 2007 masterpiece, Brass. Birmingham tells the story of competing entrepreneurs in Birmingham during the industrial revolution, between the years of 1770-1870.
Players: 2 - 4
Mechanisms: Hand management, route/network building.
Playing time: 60 - 120 min
Designers: Gavan Brown, Matt Tolman, Martin Wallace
What game!!! I liked a lot, at first it seems to be more difficult than really it is but this economic strategy game is awesome, with so many tough decisions in every turn. Beautiful components in the KS Edition, have a little interaction between players using factories of coal, iron or beer, own or not, to build in the country. In our first game, we only play the Canal Era, and in this game we only did one mistake, we took a beer in the sell action from the wrong space, but this didn't influence the score in the end.
Railroad Ink: Deep Blue Edition (2018):

| At the middle of canal era |
It´s a multiplayer puzzle game, where your goal is to connect as many exits on your board as possible. Each round, a set of dice are rolled in the middle of the table, determining which kind of road and railway routes are available to all players. You have to draw these routes on your erasable boards to create transport lines and connect your exits, trying to optimize the available symbols better than your opponents.
Players: 1 - 6
Players: 1 - 6
Mechanisms: Roll and write, route/network building
Playing time: 20 - 30 min
Designers: Hjalmar Hach, Lorenzo Silva
It´s a good game easy to teach and play, like i said before in other reviews, the roll and write games are on fire, and this one is not a exception. The game have a good components (dices and boards), a good artwork for a little game, have 2 expansions included, and if you combine more boxes you can play with 12 players or more, All good things for lovers of puzzles games.
In the second night we played:
Arraial (2018)
We've already talked about this game, which simulates Tetris, in which you try to have as many visitors as possible in a summer street party because the winner will be the player with more visitors in her party. Every game is little different, very clever, simple to teach and play, every game is played fast in summary a good and fast family game.
Ceylon (2018):
Another excellent strategic game, with hand management and some luck, that already played a couple of times. It´s a light game, where in every turn, always will do something (at least 1 action) no matter who is the active player. Certainly, this game will be in the table more often, because is easy to teach and play, it´s fast and have a lot of interaction between players.
Ilôs (2017):
Ilôs is a card game of hand management, through your cards, you will explore new islands, bring more ships along, gather wealth and raise its price, build fortifications to slow down your opponents, and establish trading posts to improve your production. The goal of the game is to become the richest explorer of Ilôs.
And that´s all for that week.
