I was like: "This guy is so next level, I don't even understand why he trades his brick away" 20 seconds later: "Oh wait... I traded my brick away - Red can we undo the trade I didn't mean to do that!" LMAO
9:33 Hold for a city: NO BRAINER. The port strategy you chose NEEDS high production. Your NUMBER ONE priority is to get those two initial towns to city up, first the wheat, then the other one. If you do, you'll become a monster. If you don't, you'll be behind as everyone already has a city except red who is close to making the longest road.
I like what you said about pacing at the end. Someone always appears too threatening early and gets targeted by everyone. Then you sneak in there with dev cards and take them by surprise.
I love how they basically say sorry for opposing moves and maintain a very chill atmosphere. That's the opposite of gameplay with friends: one will eventually get fucked at early game and get angry with it
9:34 I would hold for the city. 1) You're behind on production, with both blue and black already having cities and strong ports (or in black's case, soon to have one). 2) You expended all that effort to get the ore for a city. If you break up your 3 ore now, getting another ore by trade might be hard (given that it's rare and mostly monopolized by blue). In comparison, if you hold for a city there's an 80% chance that the missing wheat will sprout by your next turn. 3) What are you drawing for? Road building is useless, and nobody else has entered the army race yet. Is it that important to get the first Knight?
I watched a video where you broke down initial settlement placement and really enjoyed it. As a beginner I struggle with this. I'd love to see a whole series of those types of videos.
9:40 I’d hold for a city because you already have the 3 ore, which is by far the hardest part for you. Any 5/8/10 would lead to a city for you, plus you’re not currently blocked (and no one has a knight either) and you’re only at 5 cards
Hey DyLighted, thanks for posting again! Remember that game you played on stream against those (sometime aggro) table talkers? I think it would be interesting content for you to make a video about people's tells from table talking using your catan/poker experience.
I like playing this game but watching this, there's so much I can learn in terms of trading, wow. I can read the board well, I never really have much trouble picking start locations, but tracking people's hands and figuring out what they want or what would piss them off is... a whole new world. Great watch! :)
hey man a lot of people like myself started playing with a board during quarantine. i think a cool video idea could be a real life board game review, explaining thought processes of players and strategy
Remember me? I complained about you not keeping up with your promises...well I am back..... to tell you THANK YOU!!! So happy to see you being more consistent with posting!
great video as always! i'm really looking forward to your video on that extremely close final match, that's probably coming up at the end of this mini series! your videos got me into catan 1 or 2 months ago. this weekend, after listening to an old podcast of yours with hawkeye where you encouraged your listeners to give tournaments a go, i spontanously signed up for the latest catan community tournament. surprisingly i did really well for a newbie, advancing to the semi finals and even getting close to winning that one! i had so much fun on voice chat during those games, and playing against some very good and experienced players was amazing, because i felt like i could learn and improve a lot!
Always looking forward to your vids Dylighted. Whenever the notification pops up I instant watch. As with some of the other comments, it would be great for more frequent content
I'm surprised you won with so few numbers too. But I did a three resource game as well but with a 3-port and managed to win where I had good numbers for the one resource settlement.
If you can get 2 or especially if you can get 3 strong numbers to feed a 3/1 port, I think it can be the strongest strategy on most boards since it gives you amazing flexibility to do what ever you want, be it dev cards, build to 10 or take road.
9:37, wait for city, place on the wheat spot to increase weat production and Port it 2:1 for any resouces you need (mostly ore, cuz you porbably want to go for biggest army)
Pause... I think in this case you hold for the city... Port strategies depend on big production, so upgrading that 8-5-10 as quickly as possible is super important... Also blue and black already have cities up, and black is already at 4 VPs, so you won't be making yourself a big target by upgrading... You're also only at 5 cards, so no single roll can put you above 7 cards and put you at risk of 7ing out... And lastly it's very likely in 1 orbit that you'll be able to get 1 wheat to upgrade, and you really want to be using the precious ore in your hand to upgrade the 8-5-10 before buying dev cards... Once that 8-5-10 spot is a city, then you can shift to buying dev cards at a much higher rate than if it were only a settlement...
Hi Dylighted! Once again, great video!!! But where do you play Catan online? I tried it on Steam but there is only the standart map! Thanks for the help!
50 seconds into the video and I’m already so glad RUclips recommended you. I love playing with my friends and there is absolutely no way for us to play without someone trying to get all the wheat. Never even thought of catan online, I love this
I would go for the dev card. When you city up on 10/5/8 you become a huge target. I like the protection of a dev card. PLUS all the dev cards are useful: Road building makes the next settlement spot waay easier, Year of plenty almost guarantees a city next turn, monopoly is the most overpowered thing you can do in the game and knights are protection for the city and a win condition. Sure a VP isn't great, but there's a low chance you get it, and I can see this set-up struggling for that 10th VP. TLDR; A city makes you a huge threat and target, whereas a dev card keeps your options open.
I think the city makes you less of a target bc half that table already have city's. Also it becomes very difficult to completely block you if you build a city bc your still producing quite a bit of wheat on the other tiles
you dont need protection from knights though, you have 3 good numbers you city up, you need the production, because the value of your production in a port strat is shit. The wheat is like .5 of a card for you. so the only way to keep up with the others is by more production, so if you get one of your numbers you wanna get the most ressources. Like we can list the most likely values of the cards for this setup. Wheat is 0.5 card Brick is 1 card sheep is roughly 1 card. Wood is 2/4 cards. Ore is 2/4 cards. if you dont use the ore you got for a discount (like 1 brick or something because of another human player) you are throwing away 2 cards you need to get, or even more. you need to get that city so you have enough wheat to counterbalance the value drop because you lack the ore. Also from what do you wanna defend yourself against. From a knight on the 8? while 2 other numbers give you a wood or an ore. like if we translate the cards to rolls you basically need less numbers to roll for you if you get a city, also if your 8 is blocked, you still have 2 other numbers that give you a free ressource, in a way you are pretty much unblockable because you got the city. In a way, with the city you are able to compete with the others because you now have access to all ressources without too many rolls. if a 10 rolls you get a card, if an 8 rolls you get 1.5 cards. the city is just too important and not worth delaying for a useless dev card. You wont be able to buy more of them, or even a city because you wont be able to get enough cards anymore.
I often buy a dev card because there's a solid chance that you'll lose those resources anyway if someone rolls a 7 or if the play a knight card. You're also only losing 1 ore which should be relatively easy to obtain with your port or through trades.
The getting the 9 brick which is the best brick in the game allows me to get some very good trades. I didn’t think it would be too hard to get to the wheat port with the 9 brick, so there’s no rush to go get a free road on the 9-10-11. Lastly, the double sheep is pretty good paired with the wheat port for buying dev cards.
To add on what dylon said, with the 5910 it's easier to road settle, in contrast with the 91011 double road settle. Also more production(worst case you can pad some trades with extra sheep).
I think that having a city on 10 5 9 would've the best option since it duplicates your chances and it won't be blocked that much cause it's a shared spot. Getting a dev card when you don't got acces to any ore would delay your game
However, he only had the wheat port . So he kinda needed the wheat production first over brick/sheep. They trade at 4:1 whereas wheat at 2:1 Also blocking a spot means nothing cause he has 2 more tiles and he wasn't a threat till later half of the vids.
I was never a fan for port strategy but hey guess top player can win with any set up😆 very entertaining to watch (even when you made mistakes haha) btw do we still have a streaming schedule? loving twitch! 😆
Dev card would be good, to be able to move the robber from 8 wheat. But you have 5 and 10. Better off holding for a city so you can crank out wheat, then youll be able to get any resources going forward!
at the end it really wasnt a big deal if blue rushed his final settlement spot. he was getting to many wheat that building a city was a more secure way of winning. but still impressive win
I have a question. My boys and I play to influence others. For example, if I build a city and that gives me 7 or 8 points, the other players gang up on me and discuss among themselves on how to stop me. They make trades to snatch the longest road or the largest knight card. Is that ethical in this game or is this how the game is supposed to be played?
@@DyLightedCatan is it okay to point out the resources a particular player has when another player rolls a 7 and you're just influencing him to prevent him from robbing you?
@@DyLightedCatan that’s nice to say. But I could have weighted in the odds of being robbed more. You would look dangerous with that city and the 10 wheat is a prime blocking spot.
1:24: RED knows that GREY - third player - will surely plays his second settlement DIRECT AFTER him. So expecially the first settlement of the fourth player RED with street also (as GREY has done) downwards to 4-5-10 in combination with his second settlement 11-3-6 is very adverse for him and the opposite of to be far-seeing. After GREY played his first settlement at 8-4-10 WITH the street downwards to 4-5-10 it is wasted money for RED to set his first street there and then second settlement 11-3-6. Ok, with that RED took indeed the "money" for a street (with a slim hope to get the Spot 10-5-9, because the spot 10-5-9 with a production of 11 is interesting for everybody), BUT: The spot 6-11-12 is still open, absolutely sure FOR GREY. Which strategy attempt GREY? It is easy to identify: With - at that moment - a sure sheep production of 8 and even possibility to increase to ten or even to twelve, it is advantageous for GREY to have a sheep port. Nor are there GREY wood, brick and ore. So to have this three missing resources AND certainly obtain the sheep port if GREY settled at 6-11-12, it is particularly advantageous for GREY to put his second settlement at 6-11-12. And what happened? GREY did just that, street straight to the sheep port. For others it is 1. impossible to settle at 6-4-11 and 2. uninteresting to settle at the sheep port with a production of just 5 and others have a lot less sheep than GREY. And, after the game has started, no matter how the dices will fall, GREY has one resource card of brick and one resource card of wood, so the money to buy the third street BEFORE it is the turn for RED. 1. For RED it would have been much better to settle first at 10-5-9, street downwards to 10-9, next to get the wood port, and second 6-4-11, to get two wood and an ore, ore is rare on this board, so a good commodity. 2. This approach would have given RED a total production of 21 and with different numbers, not only 19 with the double 4 !!! 3. AND: The majority of the rarest resource: Brick. 4. AND: An own possibility to get the sheep port - at that moment his sheep production is 7. 5. AND: Absolutely sure to get a second port, the wood port, which combines good with a wood production of 8. 6. AND: There is a possibility to reach the 3-8-desert spot to get some wheat. 7. AND: Important at CATAN, not only to look for the best for yourself, but also to look for possibilities to impede your opponents. In this case, RED would have destroyed good opportunities for GREY. RED, you have trashed a very good chance to win this game !!! RED, you have to learn a lot of CATAN strategy !!!
Love your vids dylighted! I saw an older one where you referenced your brother being a HS poker player. I been playing poker professionally for what feels like forever and I am sure you understand am naturally attracted to catan for a lot of the similar reasons poker is so great. Who is your brother??
Haha that's super cool! I Wouldn't be surprised if you knew him but I don't want to say in a public RUclips comment for privacy reasons. If you're in poker facebook groups like upswing or jonnievibes you've probably seen him around.
@@DyLightedCatan Thank you for replying. 2:00 Brick-Wheat-Sheep... But the brick and the sheep are useless .................. BUT THE BRICK IS RARE. ok, I get it now. Thanks.
I'm rewatching this video, and I'm really confused as to why you didn't take the 9 10 11 and point up... It gets you a free road, some more wheat (while blocking wheat from blue unless he choose the 3 8) and an option to expand to the 2 6 down the line once your port is online...
That was my thoughts exactly. Everyone else was already on sheep so it would have been easy to trade for but worthless to trade away except 4 for 1. Definitely did not need to be on two of them without a port to trade them.
I was like: "This guy is so next level, I don't even understand why he trades his brick away" 20 seconds later: "Oh wait... I traded my brick away - Red can we undo the trade I didn't mean to do that!" LMAO
Hahahaha I’m not as smart as I seem 🤣🤣
Hey man all we want as viewers is more casual videos like this one. Sooo many of us would appreciate more frequent videos
Got it. I’ll do my best to keep putting these out as fast as possible!
"Is it game?"
"Nah, if it was I wouldn't waste your time"
*proceeds to waste their time when it's game on the next turn*
🤣🤣🤣 I didn’t even realize that
On the turn where you wasted the road, couldn't you have traded for Ore into a City?
I couldn’t have, I didn’t have enough for the win.
Hey, i play catan at home, not professional like you :D What is meant by "Is it game?" I can’t figure it out...
@@chamaleon2184 "Is it game" = "Does it win me the game?", at least in the Bridge world.
I went from “nah I can’t watch an entire Catan game on RUclips it’s boring” to being addicted to your videos real fast.
9:33 Hold for a city: NO BRAINER. The port strategy you chose NEEDS high production. Your NUMBER ONE priority is to get those two initial towns to city up, first the wheat, then the other one. If you do, you'll become a monster. If you don't, you'll be behind as everyone already has a city except red who is close to making the longest road.
Great job!!! Love the enthusiasm!
Exactly. Also, integrated income over the long run wins. The faster you get cities the more dev cards you can buy over the long run.
I like what you said about pacing at the end. Someone always appears too threatening early and gets targeted by everyone. Then you sneak in there with dev cards and take them by surprise.
Thank you! Why get robbed unnecessarily when you don’t have to?
That always happens to me lol get to 6 or 8 points then everyone picks on you or doesn't trade 😂
Can you explain in more detail about this? Not sure I understand, and must have missed it in the video
@@jestes7 at the very end of the video
18:49 lol I was extremely confused when my name popped up, I’m only used to seeing that kind of notification for twitch subs
Oh shoot it’s you! Thanks for subscribing!
Wait this wasn’t streamed on twitch? It looked like twitch haha
This channel deserves to blow up
Thanks! I’ll need to post more first lol
I love how they basically say sorry for opposing moves and maintain a very chill atmosphere.
That's the opposite of gameplay with friends: one will eventually get fucked at early game and get angry with it
First time I’ve ever heard someone say playing games with strangers is more chill than playing with friends.
Woah early for this one. Just got into Catan last month and really love watching your strategies it has helped me a lot.
Thanks for always watching! I’m glad these are helping you improve!
You are so good at the interaction with your viewers.. Not going to lie, i miss the "PAUSE, answer this!" from school crap =D
I never thought watching Catan would be so entertaining! Well done!
I found this guy yesterday. Never heard of catan until that but now I’m watching him all the time. Much love man you make this so interesting❤️
I remember watching you back last may and wow your editing and videos overall have improved so much. Love the videos man keep up the good work. 👍
thank you :)
9:34 I would hold for the city.
1) You're behind on production, with both blue and black already having cities and strong ports (or in black's case, soon to have one).
2) You expended all that effort to get the ore for a city. If you break up your 3 ore now, getting another ore by trade might be hard (given that it's rare and mostly monopolized by blue). In comparison, if you hold for a city there's an 80% chance that the missing wheat will sprout by your next turn.
3) What are you drawing for? Road building is useless, and nobody else has entered the army race yet. Is it that important to get the first Knight?
Great thoughts and reasoning! Well done!
Just so you know, blue plowing you wouldn't have mattered at all in the end since you comfortably had enough to just upgrade to the city for the win
Yea I know that, I’m just saying it takes an option away for me to win.
Just discovered your channel, really into the style! Especially the analysis of mistakes made :)
I watched a video where you broke down initial settlement placement and really enjoyed it. As a beginner I struggle with this. I'd love to see a whole series of those types of videos.
I was taught Catan years ago and have forgotten everything about it. Watching these videos is the equivalent of “I like your words, magic man”
9:40 I’d hold for a city because you already have the 3 ore, which is by far the hardest part for you. Any 5/8/10 would lead to a city for you, plus you’re not currently blocked (and no one has a knight either) and you’re only at 5 cards
Precisely! Well done Jake!
Once again, I'm loving this video format over edited ones! Keep it up! 👌 Great game
Awesome! I’m glad you’re liking this one so much more :)
Grima wormtongue does it again!
You really are the sweetest talker out on the catan boards- Impresive
Great video! It's a really cool set-up :)
Thanks Treeck!
Been tuning in on twitch when I can, but great to see highlights here! Was a fun game to watch!
Thanks for dropping by! Glad to see some twitch viewers here!
Hey DyLighted, thanks for posting again! Remember that game you played on stream against those (sometime aggro) table talkers? I think it would be interesting content for you to make a video about people's tells from table talking using your catan/poker experience.
Your videos are absolutely amazing and you seem like a genuinely nice person, subbed!
Love the insight and how wholesome you are!
I just started playing catan and your videos are helping so much!
😂😂 love ya Ben
That was a good game Dyl. I'm enjoying this series
Watch out tomorrow ;). I'll be posting again.
I like playing this game but watching this, there's so much I can learn in terms of trading, wow. I can read the board well, I never really have much trouble picking start locations, but tracking people's hands and figuring out what they want or what would piss them off is... a whole new world. Great watch! :)
Wow you guys are so nice to each other, when I play with my family I'm ruthless. LOL
Dylighted I would like to add to what you say at around 18minutes in, road settling one the 5 makes it so that each 5 is a dev for you.
Well said! Forgot to say that on stream.
Loving your videos! The more the better!
I’ll do my best!
I often love trying the strategy of going all out on one resource and getting the 2 for 1 for it, it just feels like it’s a flexible strategy
It is a flexible strategy! You’re totally right.
Really enjoying these videos. Thanks!
Glad you are! Only more to come!
Best Catan RUclipsr! I learned alot from your videos :D
hey man a lot of people like myself started playing with a board during quarantine. i think a cool video idea could be a real life board game review, explaining thought processes of players and strategy
Remember me? I complained about you not keeping up with your promises...well I am back..... to tell you THANK YOU!!! So happy to see you being more consistent with posting!
Hopefully I can post again by the end of the week! I’m going for 2 videos in a week.
Great video again. Keep them coming plz
Will do! Thank you for encouraging me!
great video as always! i'm really looking forward to your video on that extremely close final match, that's probably coming up at the end of this mini series!
your videos got me into catan 1 or 2 months ago. this weekend, after listening to an old podcast of yours with hawkeye where you encouraged your listeners to give tournaments a go, i spontanously signed up for the latest catan community tournament.
surprisingly i did really well for a newbie, advancing to the semi finals and even getting close to winning that one! i had so much fun on voice chat during those games, and playing against some very good and experienced players was amazing, because i felt like i could learn and improve a lot!
Well done! Getting to the semis for your first tournament is great man! Thank you for sharing :)
Always looking forward to your vids Dylighted. Whenever the notification pops up I instant watch. As with some of the other comments, it would be great for more frequent content
Thanks Derrick, I’m really trying to work on my upload consistency and frequency. I appreciate your kind words.
me: "I'm surprised he didn't build a settlement there'"
Dy: "In hindsight, the better move would have been a settlement there"
me: :D I'M LEARNING!
Black was such a chill guy, some people take this game too personally
This guy sounds like the type of guy who gets mad when things don’t go the way he wants them to, very dangerous.
I'm surprised you won with so few numbers too. But I did a three resource game as well but with a 3-port and managed to win where I had good numbers for the one resource settlement.
Nicely done! It’s always tough but doable.
best video yet! keep em coming :D
Awesome! Will do!
5:03 revenge rob! lol so relatable
I would love more videos. More frequent. Love your content and love learning from you
Great vid! First time watching competitive catan and love your explanation on your moves
If you can get 2 or especially if you can get 3 strong numbers to feed a 3/1 port, I think it can be the strongest strategy on most boards since it gives you amazing flexibility to do what ever you want, be it dev cards, build to 10 or take road.
Today was our last day before spring break so our whole class played Catan for two hours and I cleaned up🔥😂
9:37, wait for city, place on the wheat spot to increase weat production and Port it 2:1 for any resouces you need (mostly ore, cuz you porbably want to go for biggest army)

Hi Dylighted! Once again, great video!!!
But where do you play Catan online? I tried it on Steam but there is only the standart map!
Thanks for the help!
Try looking at Colonist.io!
You’ll need to purchase Catan universe to play on different maps ($5 usd) or play on colonist.io
Love your content! Just subscribed!
Nice to see this game, I didn't catch this one that day! BWS new meta
Hahah OWS < BWS
50 seconds into the video and I’m already so glad RUclips recommended you. I love playing with my friends and there is absolutely no way for us to play without someone trying to get all the wheat. Never even thought of catan online, I love this
So I’ve been playing in Catan universe, what is this version
I guessed right that you’ll hold for city! Than,a for the videos. :)

I immediately feel like a fool! lol
9:40 || Hold for a city, use it on the 5-8-10. once you have the first city, go for cards and monopoly the ore when the bank is empty.
I know I am a month late but my thought for the quiz was to hold for city to get mad wheat production now that you got the port.
Hi why didn't you take the 9-10-11 wood hay brick as your second spot?
The getting the 9 brick which is the best brick in the game allows me to get some very good trades. I didn’t think it would be too hard to get to the wheat port with the 9 brick, so there’s no rush to go get a free road on the 9-10-11. Lastly, the double sheep is pretty good paired with the wheat port for buying dev cards.
To add on what dylon said, with the 5910 it's easier to road settle, in contrast with the 91011 double road settle. Also more production(worst case you can pad some trades with extra sheep).
I‘d hold for city, since your at 5 cards which is fine. Even though you would become a target there is still plenty of wheat for you.
Exactly! Great reasoning! Thanks for answering the quiz!
@@DyLightedCatan whatever to support my man!
Never played this game and yet here I am
I'm gonna start Catan. Looks so much fun!
I think that having a city on 10 5 9 would've the best option since it duplicates your chances and it won't be blocked that much cause it's a shared spot. Getting a dev card when you don't got acces to any ore would delay your game
However, he only had the wheat port . So he kinda needed the wheat production first over brick/sheep. They trade at 4:1 whereas wheat at 2:1
Also blocking a spot means nothing cause he has 2 more tiles and he wasn't a threat till later half of the vids.
This strategy was the riskiest strategy I have ever seen 😳
It was entertaining watching you laugh at your own mistakes 😂
Hahaha I make a lot of mistakes when I play, especially under time pressure
I was never a fan for port strategy but hey guess top player can win with any set up😆 very entertaining to watch (even when you made mistakes haha) btw do we still have a streaming schedule? loving twitch! 😆
I typically always stream on weekends and Wednesday - Friday I also stream. You should be able to see a stream schedule on my twitch.
Dev card would be good, to be able to move the robber from 8 wheat. But you have 5 and 10. Better off holding for a city so you can crank out wheat, then youll be able to get any resources going forward!
Exactly! Well done!
Hold for the city!!!! Ore is so rare for you and you need high production for your port! (Learned previously from one of your videos 😊)
Yes!!! Great job!
Hold for a city since you can easily get more resources from your wheat and trade in for more stuff.
only post videos where you win! would love to see some where you lose and tell us what you could have done different!
9:38 hold for city. getting that ore was expensive, and robber is not on u.
Thx for the vid!
Thank YOU for watching!
Def holding for the city there. You don't get ore often and a city is worth more than a dev card at this point.
This was so much fun
Glad you enjoyed it so much!
at the end it really wasnt a big deal if blue rushed his final settlement spot. he was getting to many wheat that building a city was a more secure way of winning. but still impressive win
Top strategy to win: Be DyLighted
Haha I just get lucky
Allright guys, f*ck it!
Good video DyLighted
Hahaha thanks Aron!
I have a question. My boys and I play to influence others. For example, if I build a city and that gives me 7 or 8 points, the other players gang up on me and discuss among themselves on how to stop me. They make trades to snatch the longest road or the largest knight card. Is that ethical in this game or is this how the game is supposed to be played?
This is how it’s supposed to be played! Plan out how you can win without getting robbed or a setup that is robber proof.
@@DyLightedCatan is it okay to point out the resources a particular player has when another player rolls a 7 and you're just influencing him to prevent him from robbing you?
I noticed there are some small parallels with go in Catan.
What program is that?
Where u been dylighted? Pls upload another vid soon!
Why didnt you go for the 9-10-11 wood, wheat, and brick? It gives u a free road and more resources to get a settlement to get the wheat port
I love this board game. What platform is this..? Online? (Sry for the noob question)
I hold for a city. With a port, you need more production. Plus, the ore is rare and you’re not over 7.
Oh man, that robber point is great!
Well done!
@@DyLightedCatan that’s nice to say. But I could have weighted in the odds of being robbed more. You would look dangerous with that city and the 10 wheat is a prime blocking spot.
@@DidierPilon You're not wrong, but you have 2 other strong wheat spots so getting blocked on the 10 doesn't matter too much.
@@DyLightedCatan it was more about getting that rare ore stolen. But thank you. I really appreciate your interaction in the comment section. :)
1:24: RED knows that GREY - third player - will surely plays his second settlement DIRECT AFTER him. So expecially the first settlement of the fourth player RED with street also (as GREY has done) downwards to 4-5-10 in combination with his second settlement 11-3-6 is very adverse for him and the opposite of to be far-seeing. After GREY played his first settlement at 8-4-10 WITH the street downwards to 4-5-10 it is wasted money for RED to set his first street there and then second settlement 11-3-6. Ok, with that RED took indeed the "money" for a street (with a slim hope to get the Spot 10-5-9, because the spot 10-5-9 with a production of 11 is interesting for everybody), BUT: The spot 6-11-12 is still open, absolutely sure FOR GREY. Which strategy attempt GREY? It is easy to identify: With - at that moment - a sure sheep production of 8 and even possibility to increase to ten or even to twelve, it is advantageous for GREY to have a sheep port. Nor are there GREY wood, brick and ore. So to have this three missing resources AND certainly obtain the sheep port if GREY settled at 6-11-12, it is particularly advantageous for GREY to put his second settlement at 6-11-12. And what happened? GREY did just that, street straight to the sheep port. For others it is 1. impossible to settle at 6-4-11 and 2. uninteresting to settle at the sheep port with a production of just 5 and others have a lot less sheep than GREY. And, after the game has started, no matter how the dices will fall, GREY has one resource card of brick and one resource card of wood, so the money to buy the third street BEFORE it is the turn for RED.
1. For RED it would have been much better to settle first at 10-5-9, street downwards to 10-9, next to get the wood port, and second 6-4-11, to get two wood and an ore, ore is rare on this board, so a good commodity.
2. This approach would have given RED a total production of 21 and with different numbers, not only 19 with the double 4 !!!
3. AND: The majority of the rarest resource: Brick.
4. AND: An own possibility to get the sheep port - at that moment his sheep production is 7.
5. AND: Absolutely sure to get a second port, the wood port, which combines good with a wood production of 8.
6. AND: There is a possibility to reach the 3-8-desert spot to get some wheat.
7. AND: Important at CATAN, not only to look for the best for yourself, but also to look for possibilities to impede your opponents. In this case, RED would have destroyed good opportunities for GREY.
RED, you have trashed a very good chance to win this game !!!
RED, you have to learn a lot of CATAN strategy !!!
Love your vids dylighted! I saw an older one where you referenced your brother being a HS poker player. I been playing poker professionally for what feels like forever and I am sure you understand am naturally attracted to catan for a lot of the similar reasons poker is so great. Who is your brother??
Haha that's super cool! I Wouldn't be surprised if you knew him but I don't want to say in a public RUclips comment for privacy reasons. If you're in poker facebook groups like upswing or jonnievibes you've probably seen him around.
how can i get this game?
dev card since getting a city would paint a target on yourself and without a knight or something to back it up you might stall.
voting cos these videos deserve more attention
Thanks! Every comment helps a bunch!
First day telling D that we love his content
Thank you Tomas! I appreciate it ❤️
hold, and try to trade the sheep, the wheat will probably come soon and having that city with the port guarantees to be in the best position
Well said! Thanks for commenting!
Why not go 2nd settlement on 9-10-11? Free road? More wheat?
5/9/10 has better production and the best brick to get trades.
@@DyLightedCatan Thank you for replying.
2:00 Brick-Wheat-Sheep... But the brick and the sheep are useless .................. BUT THE BRICK IS RARE.
ok, I get it now. Thanks.
Port strat definitely works if it's 11 production wheat & ez port secure
That last turn was interesting
I'm rewatching this video, and I'm really confused as to why you didn't take the 9 10 11 and point up... It gets you a free road, some more wheat (while blocking wheat from blue unless he choose the 3 8) and an option to expand to the 2 6 down the line once your port is online...
That was my thoughts exactly. Everyone else was already on sheep so it would have been easy to trade for but worthless to trade away except 4 for 1. Definitely did not need to be on two of them without a port to trade them.
