For me road+cities works best, if it's not possible then I go for full roads and usually I rush 4 villages + 2 cities + longest road win

I think it's the best, unless you play in tournaments like the King of Catan Premier League, where it gets hard-focused. Then strategies that seem sub-par tend to do quite well too.

Tried the hybrid OWS strategy today and went 2-0 with it - thanks for the idea and information! First game was a fairly straightforward win with quick upgrades of the starting two settlements to cities, followed by gradual points accumulation primarily through development cards - second game we were pretty wheat starved for the whole game, so it was a much slower build, where my infrastructure was terrible throughout (sat on starting two settlements for ages) but ultimately got the win with a city after a very lengthy game that finished 10-9-9 (for an idea of the length, I had played 8 knight cards by this point). Edit: while I'm an absolute noob to the strategy, I feel like in a vacuum full-OWS is going to be better on some board layouts, and hybrid is going to be better on others (usually it'd be determined by port positions). And of course, switching to another strategy is going to be better if you're playing with other people going for full or hybrid OWS.

@HashBandicoot356 5 ай бұрын

I have fallen into OWS + a Sheep port if possible or if not wheat or ore port. You don't have direct access to wood or brick but you only need one of each for a road. You can get this by robbering other players you know probably have either, using year of plenty, knights, or monopoly. Can also trade with the bank easily once you get that port which you should aim to get with your third settlement. 3 cities + largest army + 2 DV cards or longest road if you get road building card. You will often get a lot of knights and thereby keep the robber off you almost the whole game while also choosing to place it on whomever you want.

Why is this video showing a fixed board like on 0:14. Don’t the resource hexagon boards get suffled every game? I don’t understand. Or are they fixed the way you show on tournaments? Thanks

@Treeckosaurus Ай бұрын

Some tournaments use the default set-up, some mix them up. I use this board to illustrate my point. I often use the same boards, so there's 'new input' to resolve for viewers, so they can focus on one thing at the time.
