is this a base game, or an expansion? Can you play this by itself?

This is the base game and can be played by itself. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224517/brass-birmingham

How long does this game take to play (2 player)?

First time through expect close to two hours or more but if both players know the rules maybe an hour to hour and a half.

Does this game have a solo mode?

No, but there are unofficial variations that you can find that I have heard work quite well.

Simplesmente incrível a qualidade desse jogo, valeu cada centavo. Sem falar que é o melhor jogo economico que já joguei ate hoje, muito inteligente e te obriga sempre a fazer um planejamento e aproveitar as oportunidades. O Brass faz jus todo o hype criado a cerca dele.

All the components inside the box were in perfect condition but the box came with a couple of scratches. I imagine that this was due to the lax packaging but it doesn’t personally both me that much.
