Catan Blunders

not really sure why in the end game, you took the road in the direction of purple, in place of extending your road along the 10 tile a bit more. This could have given you an extra out, by having a settlement spot available.
Yup you’re right haha 😎
Yo, I loved that "Smooth" version of the opening. Thanks for all your content!
Good to know. I have many people who like the wild intro too, so I’m trying to figure out which intro to stick with. Thanks for the support! 😎
In your turn at 21:43 you could’ve taken the first dev card and use it to buy a city, which also would’ve been good. Either 5/10 or 8/3 would’ve been fine. 8/3 would give you a city every roll.
Also, in your turn at 23:20 you had the chance to buy a city by simply trading 3:1 sheep for ore and take 2 ore from the year of plenty.
Yeah for your first point I should’ve held those cards since my first dev was the year of plenty, but at 23:20 I actually couldn’t use the year of plenty that turn since I had already played the knight
The opener of this video threw me off😂 I turn it on expecting the usual “constipated” intro and instead got the weird guy on the corner of the street vibe😂😂 love the games though keep them coming
Haha I like your description! 😎
At 15:40 it’s better to discard 2 stone as if an 8 was rolled for the wheat, you would also get the ore back
Good point! I always feel the pressure when you gotta discard since you only have like 15 seconds for it so I always feel rushed. What you said makes lots of sense though 😎
I had quite a lot of thoughts during this game that didn't seem to cross your mind, so I'll write a pretty long comment about some of it. Skipping the initial placements, here are a couple of other moments:
For the road blunder, even if you were a big favourite to win the race, I honestly think the alternatives would be better. Firstly, it's only 4 points of production, and getting a new wheat number isn't that useful when you're already on the 5 and the 8. Secondly, if you build towards the coast, you're getting two uncontested spots that only require one more road each. Thirdly, if you go for the 5-2, it's better for longest road, as we saw in the game.
Later, I was really hoping you'd prioritize the 6-2 when you had the YOP. Firstly, it's harder for you to get settlements than cities (you may disagree, since the 8s are blocked a lot, but I think so). Secondly, the 6-2 increases your production just as much as the city, since your city quality isn't that great. You're not getting the other settlement on the 5 this turn, but that can wait, and you'll be holding for the city anyway. Thirdly, since your road numbers are low, you really don't want to have another hanging road like that.
That being said, gg!
Levi I always love your detail my friend! Very good points, and now that I look back I’d defs agree with what you mention about my YOP play it would’ve been better to settle rather than city up at that point. These kind of minor decisions in Catan that can lead to major changes in the game 😎
NINETEEN 7’s lmao
I know, ridiculous!
Softer intro 👍
I’ve had many requests to bring back the wild intro! But thanks for the feedback. I’m gonna do a poll to see the full outcome
Why would you choose to gain your resources just from 3 numbers, it is a horible idea. I think, as a player,you must be more open to others strategies, besides, dev and city
Doubling up on numbers is actually not bad when they're coordinated. In this case, a single 3 is already a road, while a couple of 8s is already a city if he has expanded to the 3:1 port. In fact, my impression is that most players (myself included) prefer having 8 ore + 8 wheat over having 8 ore + 6 wheat!
Basically what Levi said. The only thing I’d like to add is when you are doubled up on numbers you are putting a bit of faith that those doubled up numbers get rolled a few times, so it can be risky, but it can also pay off big time!
You should start a tournament again! You over did it the first time but they were actually really fun to play in
Haha I sure know you enjoyed them! I agree they were lots of fun, I most definitely will do some in the future, maybe monthly rather than weekly
