Description from the publisher: Blacksmith Brothers is a game in which players play the role of two brother master blacksmiths who seek glory in the Kingdom of Hammer Stones. The King goes in search of the best blacksmiths of his kingdom, and now you compete to show off your skills in the forge. Players must allocate their two meeples in specific constructions to collect resources, carry them to their warehouse to be forged, and sell the goods to nobles who will give you special abilities and victory points. When the King returns to his castle, the brothers with the most points win the match and will be hired as official blacksmiths of the Kingdom. From the publisher (Portuguese): Blacksmith Brothers é um jogo onde os jogadores fazem o papel de dois irmãos mestres ferreiros que buscam glória no Reino de Hammer Stones. O Rei sai em busca dos melhores ferreiros do seu reino e compete à você mostrar suas habilidades na forja. Os jogadores devem alocar seus dois meeples em construções específicas do tabuleiro para coletar recursos, transporta-los para seu armazém para serem forjados e vendidos aos nobres que irão lhe presentear com habilidades especiais e pontos de vitória. Quando o Rei voltar ao seu castelo, os irmãos com mais pontos vencem a partida e serão contratados como ferreiros oficiais do Reino.
