Needs bug fixes, interactive tutorial, “quality of life” features – Brass Review

This might be a great app for those who have been playing Brass for awhile. I don’t blame the devs for the tutorial as most human beings currently living can not make any sense of the rulebook, but it’s supposed to be a “Martin Wallace classic “ and a great game, so I’ve been trying to learn it on the app before playing elsewhere or buying the board. There’s no undo that I can see. Is this sadism? If one taps outside the build box for a 2nd development, for instance, well, there goes that crucial move in a game where every tiny move counts for everything. The tutorial barely explains how anything works. There’s no reason to have new players stumbling through the dark. “Coal helps buildings” is not helpful to understanding the unique economic mechanisms in this game. I’ve spent a few hours gleaning things on Bgg, expert faqs, bullet pointed advice, all seems unnecessary and a huge detraction from a tool that could bring new people into an infamously difficult to penetrate game, unless you are a weathered 18xx grognard. oh well
