In 1988 The Mathematical Intelligencer a quarterly mathematics journal carried out a poll to find the most beautiful theorem in mathematics Twenty-four theorems were listed & readers were invited to award each a 'score for beauty' While there were many worthy competitors the winner was ' Euler's equation' In 2004 Physics World carried out a similar poll of 'greatest equations' & found that among physicists Euler's mathematical result came second only to Maxwell's equations The Stanford mathematician Keith Devlin reflected the feelings of many in describing it as " What is it that makes Euler's identity eipi 1 0 so special? In Euler's Pioneering Equation Robin Wilson shows how this simple elegant & profound formula links together perhaps the five most important numbers in mathematics each associated with a story in themselves the number 1 the basis of our counting system; the concept of zero which was a major development in mathematics & opened up the idea of negative numbers; pi an irrational number the basis for the measurement of circles; the exponential e associated with exponential growth & logarithms; & the imaginary number i the square root of -1 the basis of complex numbers Following a chapter on each of the elements Robin Wilson discusses how the startling relationship between them was established including the several near misses to the discovery of the formula ...

You find yourself in a dystopian cityscape with a few workers at your disposal to make your mark on the world Like most people in dystopian fiction your workers are oblivious to their situation This world is all they&ve ever known & you may use them at your whim The world as we know it has ended & in its place the city of Euphoria has risen Believing that a new world order is needed to prevent another apocalypse the Euphorian elite erect high walls around their golden city & promote intellectual equality above all else Gone are personal freedoms; gone is knowledge of the past All that matters is the future The Euphorians aren’t alone Outside the city are those who experienced the apocalypse firsthand—they have the memories & scars to prove it These Wastelanders have cobbled together a society of historians & farmers among the forgotten scrap yards of the past There is more to the world than the surface of the earth Deep underground lies the hidden city of Subterra occupied by miners mechanics & revolutionaries By keeping their workers in the dark they’ve patched together a network of pipes & sewers of steam & gears of hidden passages & secret stairways In Euphoria Build a Better Dystopia you lead a team of workers (dice) & recruits (cards) to claim ownership of the dystopian world You will generate commodities dig tunnels to infiltrate opposing areas construct markets collect artifacts strengthen allegiances & fulfill secret agendas Euphoria is a worker-placement game in which dice are your workers The number on each die represents a worker&s knowledge – that is his level of awareness that he&s in a dystopia Worker knowledge enables various bonuses & impacts player interaction If the collective knowledge of all of your workers gets too high one of them might desert you You also have two elite recruit cards at your disposal; one has pledged allegiance to you but the other needs some convincing You can reveal & use the reticent recruit by reaching certain milestones in the gameor by letting other players unwittingly reach those milestones for you Your path to victory is paved with the sweat of your workers the strength of your allegiances & the tunnels you dig to infiltrate other areas of the world but the destination is a land grab in the form of area control You accomplish this by constructing markets that impose harsh restrictions of personal freedoms upon other players changing the face of the game & opening new paths to victory You can also focus on gathering artifacts from the old world objects of leisure that are extremely rare in this utilitarian society The dystopian elite covet these artifacts – especially matching pairs – & are willing to give you tracts of land in exchange for them Four distinct societies each of them waiting for you to rewrite history What are you willing to sacrifice to build a better dystopia? ...

Welcome back to Euphoria! While you were away the Icarites descended from their lofty perch among the clouds imposing a new way of life upon the Euphorians Wastelanders & Subterrans Is this a fresh start for the dystopian citizens or will history repeat itself? Ignorance Is Bliss is a "more stuff" expansion Or perhaps a better way of putting it is "alternative stuff" For example there are a bunch of new recruit cards & market tiles that you can use as an alternative to the recruits & markets in the original game (they aren&t designed to be mixed together with the original recruits & markets) There&s also a new type of recruit card (not a new faction just a new type) Ignorance Is Bliss is also a "player count" expansion The original game of Euphoria was for 2-6 players but the expansion adds an Automa mode (an intelligent AI system) that expands the game to 1-6 players The Automa system is also designed for optional use in 2-player games so they feel more like 4-player games Ignorance Is Bliss is also an "improve the rules" expansion Euphoria itself still stands on its own but given that it was released 5 years ago we&ve listened to a lot of feedback about certain frustrations & perceived imbalances & we&ve addressed them with some new rules a " New Antiques Bazaar" board & some new components Euphoria Ignorance Is Bliss is an expansion to Euphoria Build a Better Dystopia ...
