Brass Barrel Tycoon - Play Free Online
Start with one cleaning supplies rack and a few dollars. Tap to earn, buy more areas, hire managers and grow a fictional gun shop into a national chain - free, no sign-up, progress saves on your device.
How a run works
- Name your shop and open for business with a single cleaning supplies rack.
- Tap to earn, then reinvest into new areas - holster wall, ammo counter, gunsmith bench, indoor range, up to a shooting sports resort. 15 areas in total.
- Hire and train managers so each area keeps earning while you're away.
- Spend Reputation to rebrand - reset the shop and start a new run with permanent upgrades stacked on.
- Burn Brass on boosts - achievements pay out Brass, spent on time skips and a 2x income boost.
Early upgrades worth rushing
Managers before areas
An area without a manager only earns while you tap it. Automating your first two racks beats unlocking area four cold.
Rebrand early, rebrand often
Reputation upgrades are permanent. A short first run that banks a rebrand is worth more than a long stall chasing the next area.
Save Brass for the 2x
The 2x income boost outperforms small time skips once you have a few areas running - don't spend early Brass on skips.
Chase speed milestones
Milestone achievements pay real Brass - check what the next one wants before idling.
