Did you sell your soul for your creative genius or were you brought here as an enhanced super human by our alien overlords? I've always been curious. XD

I'm certainly not a genius, and I can't recall selling my soul. So I'll go with the alien overlord theory!

Just got this today. I'm a big fan of Stonemaier games and Rodney provides a clear and simple explanation of the rules. They are so much easier to understand when you see them demonstrated. Thanks Rodney and I hope the many board game developers out there appreciate how much you do to support their games.

Thank you for using a tripod, having good lighting, running off a script, and planning/storyboarding the whole deal. Thanks for not making your how-to-play videos a vlog or review.

This is by far my favourite worker placement game. I'm the organizer for a Montreal area gaming group and it's been extremely popular with them. People appreciate the great looking board and components and the fresh approach to the genre. Also, the replay value is pretty high since you rarely draw the same recruits so your strategy varies depending on the abilities you have at your disposal. The overall concepts are fairly easy to grasp, even for beginners, which is a testament to the design choices that Jamey made. Huge thanks to Rodney for taking the time to produce what will stand as the ultimate "how to play" video for Euphoria: Build a Better Dystopia. As owners of the game we can provide the link for this video to anyone interested in playing. Also, you've shown me that as much as I know how to teach the game I can always refine my technique.

Thanks for this tutorial! I've been playing for about two years but watched through this to see if it would be helpful in teaching a new player the game...but then I realized from your video that we've been playing wrong in three different ways this whole time! Might be too late to switch to the original rules so perhaps we will make a house rule allowing for our previous ignorance haha

Just acquired my copy today. Lucky me, because here in my country the company responsible for distributing the game here went bankrupt a while ago, so soon it will be impossible to get a hold on brand new, sealed copies. I played it with my wife and we both loved it. As always, Stonemaier games' productions are flawless, absolutely stellar components. One of the last games I bought before this one was Viticullture, which finally got a long awaited reprint here in my country (Brazil), and I'm now eagerly waiting for the super delayed release of My Little Scythe that is finally happening it seems.

17:35 this just blew my mind! I didn't know you could DO that! I've only played once, and I won, but I also monopolized a market that denied everyone else the ability to place multiple workers on a turn. And then I rolled doubles. and then the next player rolled double doubles. She was mad.

Do you have any gameplay cause even though that you give all the instructions to your audience, but sometimes it is just easier to watch a game in progress. This is the way it is for me, i usually have a hard time figuring out how to play a board game it is just easier to watch then just learning.
