📖 About This Game

The Brass Age is a Steam-and-Ætherpunk, bag and tableau building card battle game. Play as one of several Nations from an alternate 1880, and defeat an enemy nation by recruiting, boosting and activating military forces, manipulating and improving your bag of ability tokens, and researching powerful SCIENCE! Playable Nations include: The British Imperium, ruled with an iron fist from the industrial nightmare city of True London by the tyrant Emperor Victor. The Kingdom of America, led by King Abraham the 1st, who survived an assassin's bullet to drive his people to tame the Weird West. The Martian Invasion Fleet, hungrily seeking the resources of Earth to save their dying civilization. —description from the publisher
