Rankings and ratings have meaning only insofar as your tastes match the tastes of others. Brass: Birmingham is a strategic board game for 2-4 players set in the Industrial Revolution in the English Midlands. You could get a "proper" rating for a game only if you forced everyone in the world to play it and rate it - and coerced ratings probably aren't a reliable measure either, so let's not go there.

I don't fall into that bucket, so I'm unlikely to ever play the game, which means I'll never add my (likely low) rating to the game page. You can pick it up usually for about £3/£4. It’s not paint, it’s more for painting the recesses in tiny models so you can make shadows work or darker areas more prominent. Gloomhaven, for example, isn't a game that casual game players will pick up on a whim, but rather an experience that calls out to those who might be interested in what it specifically offers. Agrax Earthshade is a type of wash you can buy, usually for painting miniatures like space marines/Warhammer models. The rankings don't indicate absolute greatness, but rather greatness for a good number of people who are fans of that particular game or game genre. The latest change sees Brass: Birmingham - a follow-up to designer Martin Wallace’s 2007 title Brass, now known as Brass: Lancashire - become only the eighth board game to be crowned as BoardGameGeek’s number one since the website launched over two decades ago.

A few graphical overlays could sort that out, but I would suggest extra brewery tiles may be a necessity (or at the very least increase the beer a brewery produces, and perhaps the points and income on flipping).

It's not like any of these rankings are fixed in time or that a game lands in its "proper" spot and never moves again. Lack of breweries in Lancashire is top of the list.
