“Reading Month” turns to Satire this week, defined as the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity. And the Bible is full of it. This week we will discuss the fun God's prophets had at the expense of idolators; a different take (to say the least) on the Pride and Prejudice story; the madcap adventures of my favorite musical satirist; and how you turn dystopian lemons into your faction's favorite flavor of lemonade.Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

In today's episode Adam asks Rob and Kyle if they prefer bad news or good news first; we review Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia, and then we discuss the dystopian future, sort of. Book: When Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia We mention "AP." In board gaming terms, and perhaps in other areas of our lives, it means "analysis paralysis." It's when one has too many decisions to process, and so things slow way down as the person attempts to parse out the absolute best decision to make. We all suffer from it at times, but poor Adam gets it a lot, because he's an Enneagram 7. (We'll talk about the Enneagram at some point.) Scythe Watch It Played Our Euphoria ratings: Adam - 22 - He hasn't played it yet, and there is no way he would give it a 22. He'll change his mind. Rob - 222 Kyle - 222 Brave New World 1984 Animal Farm The Handmaid's Tale Fahrenheit 451 Catch 22 The Hunger Games Divergent V for Vendetta The Circle (Lord only knows what the algorithms must think of us for looking up all the links to these dystopian novels.)

You were constantly tired from working endless hours day in and day out. You had very little time to think about the world and when you did, you didn't have the words to describe what you saw and felt. However, you had used every spare moment to puzzle together scraps of clues into a bigger picture and had created new words with meanings that your heart dictated, but that were otherwise unknown. You felt that you were now so close to wrestling away the power from your oppressors and turn this world into a better place - but you knew you had to make sacrifices to build your Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia by Stonemaier Games.Read the full article here: https://tabletopgamesblog.com/2020/07/18/euphoria-build-a-better-dystopia-digital-eyes/

MHGG Review - Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia Euphoria is a worker placement game set in a Utopia. Except it isn't, it is ACTUALLY a distopia, but almost everyone else is too stupid to realize this. Using your workers(dice), you will be visiting the different factions of the surrounding area to get commodities, turning them into resources and artifacts, and eventually turning them into victory points by placing stars onto the board. So did this early game from Jamey Stegmaier leave us feeling Euphoric or like we were living in a Dystopia of boardgame mediocrity?

In our seventh episode, we discuss Math Trades, and talk about the games we have been playing lately. In our Feed the Need segment we talk about Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game. We review the dystopian-themed dice worker placement game Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia, and in our RPG discussion, we talk about Creating an Immersive Experience: Part 1 The GM's Role.
The gang is back in front of the mics and ready to give you a review of Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia and to look back at Suburbia. Then Tony rounds up the hot news and lays it out there for you while the rest of the guys give their two cents. Then we take a look at a hot phenomenon known as The Cthulhu Mythos. The show ends with another round of Meet The GM, Jamie edition.
Once again, it's been a while, so a huge portion of this show is dedicated to just talking about games that I've been able to play recently. But I also do a couple of other things, like call some more attention to my ongoing contest to win copies of Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia and Nanuk. And speaking of Nanuk, I then go on to do a detailed review of it and hopefully stoke your desire to enter the contest! Lastly, my voice gives up the ghost before I can get around to reviewing Trains, so we'll have to save that for next show...
