Great content Drew! Love the videos. Some constructive feedback: when you are saying you shouldn't be blocked by the robber in a game like this, I think you're starting from the assumption that you will win the game. But from green's point of view, they blocked you the exact right amount, because they won a close game right before you with win in hand. From blue's perspective, you made the wrong block with your last rob. Even red had an outside chance if they could have connected and gotten fed road. When you lose (or win) a very close game and the dice aren't super skewed I find it an odd thing to say "I got blocked too much...that's the wrong block."
No one likes to be blocked in Catan lol I believe I was appropriately blocked for MOST of this game given my potential for devs and green played this very well! I was referring more to some of the blocks by red towards the end as the board was starting to imbalance and during my fight for army. I believe we lose much sooner if green pulled that 3rd knight and took army - We got super lucky he pulled a YOP. I appreciate your comments and support. Also, I acknowledge my bias here - Sometimes, Hindsight is there when reviewing a catan game, and I do my best to stay level-headed, fair, and “objective”. It’s not easy after playing a string of tense games 😂 Stay great - DandyDrew
I had the same thought, there are times where I don't see why Drew thinks he shouldn't be blocked. he is a threat most of the games. no hate, love the channel!
@@iuliadianamarian3977 I’ve learned after these last 2 months of video creation, some of you guys/gals REALLY DISLIKE it when creators say anything about the blocks or robs… especially if we disagree with it. I might express my opinion passionately, but I will always play to have fun and enjoy the competitive spirit of the game. I wish every day was was perfect and smooth, but it doesn’t work that way unfortunately. Creators have bad days too and might even frustrated with a tough game here and there. I try my best and take the feedback to help the audience’s experience as I improve as a creator/player.
If I know anything about Catan, it's that the best players always truly believe they are behind 99% of the time and come up with every possible way to convince the other players that they are not the threat and someone else is. The key is to do it in a way that doesn't come across as annoying or whiny so that people don't start troll blocking/stealing from you. In high level games, everyone is complaining and nobody cares because good players are not going to throw away their game just to troll someone.
Thanks for the response Drew, fair points on red's blocks. They should have been focusing on trying to get help getting road. Also I know it's hard to be objective while also playing and commentating. Keep up the good work!
Great video! Really appreciate that your titles are relevant to your gameplay and not just raw clickbait. Part of the reason why I'm coming back to your vids more than other people's.
You guys really don’t like when I make a few comments about blocks I don’t like. I get it 😂 I’m 98% chill most of the time but I certainly get into the flow of the game and enjoy the fight. Appreciate your perspective and feedback though.
All the complaining makes it hard to watch. Complaining about the blocks, and the table not cooperating gets annoying as a viewer if I’m being honest. Your probably the best player in the world, of course your opponents aren’t gonna be on your level you can’t expect them to

Great game. Wp by all except for red. If red had Pointed left on the 5/4/3 then they might have actually had a Chance.
Very frustrating group of players here
We’ve all been here before. A growing catan player has to accept playing these kind of games if you want to rank up.
lets go, congrats on the 5k subs
Thank you so much! Incredible work by the Dandy Crew.
Abbreviated 'Ore Wheat Sheep' by saying 'O W S' actually uses more syllables haha
But it’s 4X longer to type it out… “OWS” wins lol
OWS flows off the tongue better
You said you didn’t know what red was doing, seemed like he didn’t know either😂
Holy crap that double ore wheat spot by the ore port 😵💫

Ore Wheat Sheep for Little Bo Peep
Ore weed sheep is faster than spelling the first letters ows. ^^ The W
I think we might be on to something here!
i really thought blue was gonna win with that setup
I did my best to solo block opponents when needed. I think a lot of those blocks balanced the board a little bit.
Cool!
Les go DANDY
red was so annoying this game... wp though
It’s alright… this run is about to get crazy!
Didn't watch the full video yet but I would've went to the 9;4, road settle to 6;5. Just for the fun
Funny you mention that ;)
@@dandydrew after watching the video, would've most def went there...red was just...one of those players.
Great content nonetheless! Thanks!
What does "pop" mean?
It means to buy a development card.
Hate when people take those greefing trades 5:1, you ruin the game.
Board view was knocked out of center and not fixed. Now you just play a game where @Dylighted coaches you ☺️
Haha I believe the bet was for a CK game
You’re so salty sometimes

third!

Close but not this time ;)
