### [The Castles of Burgundy](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/84876/castles-burgundy)

> The Castles of Burgundy is an immersive board game set in the Burgundy region of High Medieval France. Players assume the roles of aristocrats seeking to expand their princedoms by building settlements, constructing formidable castles, engaging in river trade, exploiting silver mines, and harnessing the knowledge of travelers. The core gameplay revolves around selecting settlement tiles from the game board and placing them onto a personal player board, with each tile having a unique function. These tiles must be placed in regions that match their type. The game unfolds in five phases, each comprising five rounds. Players roll dice at the start of each round, with one player determining the availability of goods tiles. On their turns, players can perform two of four possible actions: taking settlement tiles from the game board, placing tiles on their player board, delivering goods, or obtaining worker tokens to adjust dice rolls. Bonus points are awarded for various accomplishments, and the game concludes after the fifth phase. Victory points are tallied, and the player with the most points emerges as the winner. With both basic and advanced rules, The Castles of Burgundy offers a deep and engaging gameplay experience, and it is part of the Alea big box series.

### [Brass Lancashire](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28720/brass-lancashire)

> Brass: Lancashire, formerly known as Brass, is an engaging economic strategy game that immerses players in the competitive world of cotton entrepreneurs during the industrial revolution in Lancashire. The objective is to develop, construct, and expand your industrial network to meet the high demand for iron, coal, and cotton. The game unfolds in two phases, the canal phase, and the rail phase, with victory points (VPs) being the ultimate goal. Players take turns, with each round offering two actions to choose from a set list, which includes building industries, constructing canals or rails, developing industries, selling cotton, or taking a loan. The turn order depends on the amount of money spent, creating strategic opportunities for those who go later in the order. After the canal phase, a scoring round occurs, followed by the rail phase with expanded building possibilities. After another scoring round, the game concludes, and the winner is determined. The game's unique card system dictates where industries can be built while allowing flexible use for other actions, encouraging strategic card management. Resources are shared, adding depth to competition, as players often rely on each other's production. This 2018 edition by Roxley Games features new artwork and rules enhancements, making it a captivating and improved experience for players aiming to build the most prosperous industrial empire in Lancashire.
