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

Today the hosts look at the two player card game Lost Cities, even though it's not Two-Player Tuesday.

Cursed City Controversy
The Honest Wargamer

Rob and Adam also mention the games - Spades, Phase10, and Uno, but as Kyle does the show notes and hates all of those games, you'll have to find your own information.

Pythagoras
Fibonacci Sequence
The Theory of Everything - Movie
Euclid's Elements
