What Should I Teach Next?! (Patreon)

Hey folks! The suggestions are in and there were two clear leaders, so they've secured their spot. I've also picked one for my editor's choice, and of course the 2nd place game from the last poll will be here as well. As always, the poll will run for two weeks, you can vote for as many games as you like, and the 2nd place game will reserve a spot on the next poll.

Beyond the Sun - It was about as close as it could be, but BTS was the second place game from the last poll. This game takes one of my favorite aspects of 4x and Civ-style games, the tech tree, and expands it into a fully fledged game of its own. Add to that a space theme and a lot of variety in setup and factions and you've got me well past interested. There's also an expansion and I'd love to cover that as well.

Federation - This was another game on the last poll that didn't quite place, but our Rules Lawyers have decided to give it another chance. Hegemony is a game about competing to join a Federation of species (like that one you've heard of) through a multiuse worker placement mechanic. While I don't know much about it, I know that Rahdo really really liked it, and he's played a game or two, so I feel like he knows what he's talking about.

Dune Imperium: Uprising - This standalone sequel to Dune Imperium is certainly hot right now, and not just because of the desert setting. This expands on the original's worker placement/deck-building combo, and even adds a team variant at six players. I quite enjoyed the original, so I'd be eager to check out the new one, even if Rodney has already made a video for it. Apparently the Rise of Ix and Immortality expansions work with this as well, so I'd probably cover those too.

Nucleum - And lastly we have my editor's choice. In this alternate timeline, industrialists compete for supremacy in this new nuclear powered industrial revolution. A lot of people are talking about this one, and I've heard it compared to games like Brass and Barrage, but with a less restrictive and less mean design. It still looks pretty involved though, and Board and Dice is known to make complex games with so-so rulebooks, so a good video might be just what it needs.
