**CLASSIC THROWBACK** Episode 25: Brass Lancashire, Brass Birmingham and Rise of Tribes Mar 05, 2024

Originally Aired 9/13/2018

Before Brass hit number one on the BGG charts the Snobs discussed both Brass games (like every other BG podcast likewise did). Is one superior over the other? Why does Jerry not consider them Euros? Was Gaby happy with his deluxe kickstarter game Rise of Tribes? Did Micheal Bay direct Con Air? These questions and more answered this episode. Probably not correctly, but they're answered nonetheless.
