I bought this game months ago excited to play it but also a bit intimidated, your explanation was the best one I found. I wanted to learn first before playing with others so I just played along with this video and learned all the rules thanks to you. I’ll be playing it a lot more. I’ll be back to your channel if I have any new games needing rules explained! Thank you for this video.

I just stumbled upon this video with mild curiosity searching for one after picking up Catan Dice at Target on Clearance. If you're even mildly intrigued by Catan and you have a Target near you, head over there ASAP and pick up Rivals for Catan. It's the _best_ game in the whole Catan franchise, and it's on clearance right now at 70% off. Only reason I didn't pick that up as well is I already have two copies.

Thanks for the explanation! I couldn't understand the directions, but after watching this, it really wasn't that hard.

Would you please explain Island Two? I'd be amazing to see your explanations! :)

@ManL02 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the great explanation as a stand alone game from the original Catan, which I've never played, so I never understand the references!

First turn, first strategic mistake. Could have rerolled the sheep. If you hit a wood you can then reroll the 2 gold to either get a town or another road

I think there are at least two versions of this game ... the clamshell version and a boxes version with wooden dice and black and white sheets. I have both of the above and keep them in the cardboard box.

@birchlover3377 Жыл бұрын

Yes, and disappointingly, the box version only contains island 2. They should have made the scoresheets double-sided with both islands.

I played while watching- got 33 end score😅 Thanks! Now I can teach my friends and family! The board version is too long, I think.

@ThatBoardGameShow Жыл бұрын

Yay! I hope you have lots of fun with your friends and family with this little game. Thanks for sharing your score :) 33 is not at all bad for your first play.

I like getting the Knight and road combos while working on my cities. I skip the settlement and manage a lot of 100 + point games.

@ThatBoardGameShow 2 жыл бұрын

Fascinating… now I’m curious to try that strategy the next time I play

@JERRYR708 2 жыл бұрын

@@ThatBoardGameShow Work on those roads leading to all the cities. Collect knights and gain resources to use along the way to build cities. I use the 6th knight for the resource I need for one of the final 2 cities. The brick and log knights help with long roads to those far away cities. I get 20pt cities every game and 30pt cities almost every other game. Enough to win average players going for settlements.

@StormPixie Жыл бұрын

When you trade in gold for a resource you only flip one golden dice the other you set aside because it’s no longer playable that turn

@ThatBoardGameShow Жыл бұрын

That is correct. I will often just use the two gold as a wild resource.

How come on the second round you didn’t take the two gold and make it into something else?

Dude on your fourth roll you could have done a knight or settlement not just road

@lbarrett305 10 ай бұрын

Silly question here but because the settlement is directly after the first road shouldn’t that have been built first? I’m confused by this please help!

@ThatBoardGameShow 10 ай бұрын

Not a silly question at all :) You can build the roads, settlements, cities, and knights independently from each other. But you do have to build each different set in sequential order. So for instance, you could build all the roads, and all the cities, but never build a single settlement the entire game, so long as you build roads connected to ones already built, and cities from lowest to highest. I hope that clears up your confusion?
