A double upload today??? Drew don't spoil us too much cmon :D

Holy hell those 6s were going off!!!

I absolutely loved the pacing of this video. Got to see all the rolls, most of the chat moments, plus all your commentary. Amazing!!

Some comments RE leaving such a strong set-up for Drew. I was 3rd pick as red in this game, and it´s tough to place defensively on this board. Firstly, there is some hindsight bias - because of how it played out, Drew´s set-up looks unbeatable. It´s strong, but perfectly beatable. Drew benefitted from the 6s over-rolling and also the robber not doing much damage. There is also a world where OJ places on 6/3/sheep port, limiting Drew´s game - probably not the best pick but seen worse in practice. The 5/8/10 + 5/4/11 that I chose got crushed with 6s going crazy, but I actually think it´s a good LR set-up - double wood&brick, high producing expansion on the 8/4/3, expansion to ore and a decent port. I think with more even rolls this set-up wins at an OK rate. I considered taking 6/3/11 or 6/9/4 defensively but they both have some problems. If I take 6/3/11 then Drew takes 6/9/4 + 5/8/10 which is almost as strong as what he got in the game. Blue also has a great set-up. I think I´m then left with 9/10/11 which seems too low producing to win, especially if the robber spends time on the 6 ore and 9 wheat. The upside is that I can connect roads, but a road game with just 2 pips of wood and 18 points overall seemed weak. Taking 6/9/4 in 3rd is more interesting and possibly the better pick. Drew could take my set up (5/8/10 + 5/4/11) and effectively we swap set-ups, but I was concerned he may take 6/3/11(brick) and 5/8/10. I then take 9/10/11 starting road to sheep port and blue again takes 8/4/3 up top. The problem is that with the middle now more closed up, OJ looks even more likely to take 6/3/sheep port, ending my game. Maybe my concerns RE taking 6/9/4 as 3rd were unfounded as it´s not certain that I lose the sheep port, but it´s a lot to consider in 2 mins. With Drew and blue likely getting great set-ups either way, I opted for what I considered the best LR set-up available and hoped for a bit of luck with 5s out-rolling 6s.

Been loving every single one of your videos, fantastic content, commentary, and gameplay. Keep doing what you’re doing please and thank you

Dandy got his stomping boots on today, amazing gameplays and commentaries. Congratulations on the success and I’m sure much more is on the way 🥳

The amount ive learned from you in a short time is absurd. Thank you drew

Always looking forward to these uploads

Your videos make my day man! Please please keep uploading your games, would love to see as many as you can upload every day!!!!!

Hey, I was orange in the game that took you to 1, congratulations!

Haha ok that was insane, solo blocking orange AFTER you had city on board??? Wild

Love to see this channel blowing up. Electric game man ⚡️🔋🔌🎸

That 6-9-4 with the sheep port is probably the first pick lol. Gj and great vid as always! The gods of catan are on your favor! Lets goooo, no1 is close!

Eeeeeeeaaaaaasy game 🎉 Love the content as always!

Great game Awesome that didn’t say anything about yt till end very cool

Famous saying : "It's better to be lucky than to be good". When you are both, it's gg...

I love hearing you talk at the start! The spots you say are great like the 8/5/10 b/b/w looks questionable to me, I just see my hand being clogged with brick all game, but "production is king".

Insane game!

red definitely threw you the biggest bone with that pick, probably expected to get 6 11 12 to the brick port. but 6/3/11 with 9/10/11 is also really nice setup - secure road with a bunch of ores

I’ve played 2 catan games in my life. My game of choice is magic the gathering. But I loveee these videos

I like the Play for the sheep port even before the city. I think the 6 was pretty crazy here and you‘d have had a lot of trouble to get there so giving a brick away is pretty tough. Everybody will block you after that city…

Definitely prefer the less editing in your videos. I like getting to hear your thoughts and have time to think for myself as the game plays out

Great video! I always get nervous holding with 6 cards and two cities like at 12:05. Do you have a system you use to decide when to hold vs. porting? Also love the Sound of Music reference at 11:43 :)

What are your thoughts on starting with 11 12 6 instead of 3 6 11? Triple sharing 6 ore? Pros: starting with a road which helps you securing sheep port even with somebody settling on 8 4 3 on the bottom right, starting with all five resources with losing 1 point of production (even though you are 12 wood) and 6 ore will be less blocked. Cons: triple sharing the 6 ore means everybody has ore and less trading value. Also opening up the board and opponents will be more powerful that way. Eventually it didn’t come to that with those ridiculous rolls but i was wondering your take on that

The power of OWS, amazing game

It's probably worth mentioning why you chose the second placement that you did. I thought at first you would take the 6-11-12 to have all 5 resources and make sure you don't get plowed to the sheep port. You didn't seem to even consider this option, and I assume it's because it gives such a good spot to red (the 6-3-11) without giving you all that much in return. The leaderboard clearly shows you as the best player on Colonist, since you have a much higher win rate than the other top players. Congrats on that, and on the success of your channel. It's very much deserved.

i think that was the fastest catan game ive ever seen

Drew: 2:49 what are your thoughts on taking the 9/4/6 and 8/4/3? 9/4/6 road left, 8/4/3 road right. Overloaded sheep for 4:1 into a quick 2:1 port. Lock down most of the sheep for high value trading, strong O/W/S that is difficult to block. Only risk is someone jacking the port on the 6/3. This would potentially set up for a double play to sneak road and army for the win. Just curious on your take for this: are there weaknesses I am missing?

FrameControl killing it

What a smackdown lol

Just out of interest, you mentioned the 649 starting spot as a monster (which it is), but the 6 3 wool port could've been taken at the start (possibly on a different board where it paired nicely with something else). In that situation, would you go on the 643 (just below it). Then, the 6 3 wouldn't be available and you could Road settle onto the 6 wool port? It would mean your other settlement would be different as you'd need wood, brick and wheat. But at least you guarantee the strong wool port

Cant believe they allowed 4th pick to get that position, and then the dice decided to punish it hard haha

one of my last games I had a similar setup and was pretty chuffed to get it, coordinated 6 ore and sheep, coordinated 4 wheat and sheep, 3 wheat and something else. In the end, 3 and 6 rolled 5 times each, and 4 never did (not over exaggerating there and mind you the game took much longer too). I ended up with 3 points because one of the 2-3 devs I managed to pull was a vp. But I guess so it goes sometimes...

I just noticed something and want your input on it: At minute 15 you hold 2 brick, 2 sheep, 2 ore and 2 wheat. You decide to play the knight before your roll. But dont you have a lot of winning rolls here ? You can use the mono to get 3 wood since blue just got 3. So then you would just be one brick short for road and one ore short for a city which would equal 3 victory points. Since you also have 2 sheep, which you can trade with your sheep port for any card, you are actually just a brick, a ore or two sheep short which leaves u with 6,11,3 and 4 as winning rolls. Isnt that worth a try , so rolling first? Or am i wrong here? Greeting from Germany

Ur insane!! Coach me!

How do I get these rolls tho Drew?

Are you going to post the game we played today that we both lost? I know it didn't go how you wanted but it was still a fun game lol. You were very frustrated with me!

i finally found your channel

Massacre😂

well, those 6s... no more comments :D

Good granny

6:09 Blue was angry that orange have robbed him instead of you. He didn't see 0 cards in your hand i guess

what is your opinion on checking opponent win rates? everyone is doing it but i think the first few minutes to assess the board is way too precious:)

I see that in some recent videos, your opponents don’t react to your robber extortions. I think what you can do is make your threats more credible by actually following through on them. So there’s a lot of value in having the image that if you threaten to steal from Red, you actually do it and not steal from Blue instead. Otherwise you reward Red for calling your bluff, which is not the point.

damn...

Should collab with Dylighted! Now that’s content

If you didn't use your knight and mono'd wood at 14:59 you would have won if 7 didn't hit, since there was 9 or 10 wood out there, allowing you to port sheep for 3rd brick, 3 roads then 4 for 1 wood for ore to get a city.

Omg that was just silly lol

Why did you play knight at 15:00? If you let it roll and 9 or 5 hits (which it did) you could have won there

This game was just insane. Clearly these were amateur players if they let you get those spots in 4th position

When I'm on 6s, 8s roll. When I'm on 8s, 6s roll. Coach me pls 🐑

Doesnt 11 point win give you more elo?

first

could have settled instead of popping for the guaranteed 11 points

I'm starting to think you are actually hacking

They did it to themselves. That should never happen in 4th
