Hey folks! As always, thank you so much for supporting the channel! I've got a few new games to vote on for the next RTFM tutorial, as suggested by our Rules Lawyers, so let's see what's on the list.

Sidereal Confluence: Having gotten second place in the last poll, Sidereal Confluence has earned a guaranteed spot on the new one. You may know of this game by its reputation for being strange, massive, and complicated, the perfect combination for an RTFM tutorial if you ask me. This is a trading and negotiation game for 4-9 players, and while getting 9 people to play a single board game was difficult even before the pandemic, by the time an RTFM tutorial would come out, we might just be clamoring for this kind of dense interaction.

Brass Birmingham: With five people suggesting this one, Brass makes its way back to the poll! This dark and gloomy looking economic game, set in industrial era England, boasts a very devoted fanbase, and there's no question as to why. It's just that good! While the gameplay is a bit dense, the strategy involved is extremely engaging. It makes for a difficult teach, but I imagine that's why an RTFM video would be so helpful.

Everdell (and expansions): Coming in second place on the suggestions post, Everdell has had a surprising surge. While I haven't played this beautiful woodland themed card game yet, I've been told by everyone who has that it's a fantastic time. And with a few expansions already published, and a couple more on the way, now seems like the perfect time to make a video. (Quick disclaimer though, because the newest expansions aren't out yet, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get a copy of them in time to add them to the list.)

Oath: Chronicles of Empire and Exile: For my Editor's Choice pick I'm going with Oath, the latest Cole Wehrle/Kyle Ferrin game. To be honest, I don't know a ton about this game, however what I do know has me very intrigued: an area control game where the actions you take in one game will have consequences in the next. But instead of being a full legacy game, this is one that you can reset and play again with a whole new set of outcomes. On top of that, you have the same art style as Root, which I've always been a fan of, so color me very interested.

Voting will end in two weeks, and you can vote for multiple games. The second place game will be guaranteed a spot in the next poll.

Just received Oath (in Australia) and would definitely help having some RTFM love.

We had an 8 player game of Sidemeal Cornflakes last week (things are pretty nice and covid free down here in New Zealand). Fantastic chaotic madness! It felt as grand and epic as a 8 player game of Twilight Imperium but condensed down into barely 3 hours. I'm sure our neighbors were pretty close to calling noise control by the end of it. Anyway I highly recommend it to anyone who is keen on a bombastic, brain burning, super social good time! Also as far as I know there are no good tutorials online anywhere, which is a little frustrating haha.
