About the game

The Brownies head north! In this sequel to Firm With Brownies, the players will establish new firms in the north, building farms, pubs, factories and merchant exchanges. The game builds on the production & buy/sell action system of the original, but adds a new complication: Dung cards that are worth negative points if left in your hand, but which can be used to make fuel or fertilizer to gain other benefits. Northern Branch is the third game in the Brownies series from Studio GG's Shun and Aya Taguchi and plays 2-4 players in 30 minutes. —description from the publisher
