What should I teach next?! (Patreon)

Space Base: Space Base got 2nd place in the polls last time, so I'm carrying it over. I've talked about Space Base a fair amount on the blog, you may have seen me play it with the Brothers Murph on their stream, I like this game. You build a fleet of ships that get activated on yours and other players' turns by a roll of the dice. It's a lot like Machi Koro, but with a lot of variation in available cards.
Root: *Puts on Mugatu voice* "Root is so hot right now." And for good reason! This asymmetrical game of woodland dominance is surprisingly ambitious, given its adorable artwork. Each faction plays completely differently, which makes it a little difficult to learn, so I think a tutorial video would definitely be worth making.
Founders of Gloomhaven: Now, I know I just taught Gloomhaven, but this is an entirely different game. While they share the same setting, Founders is a heavy euro city-builder with a fascinating mechanic regarding resource management. It's also a beast to wrap your head around and the official how-to video is 40 minutes long. I think I can do it better and faster. I also wrote an article about it for GnS (and yes, I did shamelessly plug my own article with that link), so I'm ready to keep going with it.
Dinosaur Island: I got to play this game with the Murphs a little while back and as well as being a blatant rip-off...er, homage to Jurassic Park, it's also an excellent economic euro game. Plus, neon pink dinosaurs! What's not to love?
