"Muck and Brass" Game
In the 1850's much of Britain's landscape is dominated by industrial towns and rapidly expanding cities. Millions of people live in poverty, whilst a lucky few amass enormous wealth. In this game, you are an an advisor to a town councillor. The results of your decisions will be measured in a macabre combination of coffins and coins. Your unenviable task is to keep the city's coffers full, whilst trying to save as many of your citizens as possible from an early grave. The choices are tough and the dilemmas real. How ready is your conscience for the realities of Victorian Britain? Play 'Muck and Brass' to find out.
