Brutal luck with the rolls completely evaporating when it mattered most.

hey dylan just a suggestion bc i know ur in communication with the creators of colonist. what if they implemented an incognito mode where it randomizes your username with every new lobby, so you wont get recognized? i feel reputation has hindered you and and dandy a lot

What’s with the thumbnail? There were no 4 8 10 brick cluster

Couldn't one make an argument for taking the 3 wood, 10 brick and then plow red immediately since you start with a road in hand? Great video as always!

You got no rolls for two cycles and Black cleared out the entire deck

lol, loved the transition where you turned off the epic music upon realizing there were no more dev cards! thx for the great content :)

14:49 Seems like a perfect time to play the YoP to get 2 Wood, then road settle on the Wheat Port. Then, you'd still have 1 Brick, 3 Wheat, and 3 Ore left in your hand, enough to ALSO upgrade the 5-10 to a city on the same turn. Not only would this get you 2 additional points and bring you to 9, but it'd also allow you to trade in Wheat 2:1 when you have a city on a 9 AND 10 of Wheat, offering tons of flexibility. Not only that, but getting the city on the 5-10 boosts your Brick production for the Brick Port and boosts your Sheep to match your Ore and Wheat production, allowing you to buy more Devs and pull for a VP while protecting Largest Army. Buying the Dev could've waited because I think getting the settlement on the Wheat Port ASAP was a higher priority to free up your hand even more.

I really think you should have used the Yop to settle on wheat port.. you always taught us to use it for hard tasks… and you could have citied it to win at the end

why not go for the 3 10 wood brick and plow red to the 8 10 with then the possibility to go on the brick port? Wouldn't that be less risky?

How do people just wander through life with their smoke detectors beeping?

On the turn where you used the yop, I might've considered settle, citying and saving the yop for a rainy day. All the yop did for you was produce a wood to build a road, and a sheep that sits in your hand. It's just not a very effective yop. Drew demonstrated in a recent vid, that if you're patient with the yop to use it when it's most effective, it can pay off. I recognize you wanted to secure the settle spot which is valid. Another play which a lot have mentioned was using the yop to settle wheat port, then you can pop a dev with your newfound wheat port. I think that's also a valid idea. The play you made was also pretty good, I just don't think it was the best.

I had a game like this where my numbers when cold. The first 4 rotations I got no cards. It was brutal. I was so far behind. I don’t think there was anything you could have done. You didn’t get cards at the end.

I'd choose 10-3 (a road) as 2nd and take advantage of being the first to play to cut red and build road towards 8-10 brick. It'd be a very aggressive move but and probably makes u a target for blocking, but u can defense later with knights right?

i thought it was crazy when you popped instead of going for settle on the wheat port

Loving the content. Btw your mic keeps cutting out.

nice one

12:15 really surprising you didn't go for the road to prevent yourself from getting plowed + get to the wheat port + get another settlement spot... how is that not a mistake?

12:15 Why not built a road to the port instead of dev? You have army locked up and then you are more way more flexible with the port in the future.

that sheep for 2 ore was crazy bad. That caused the other bad trade that DyL mentioned, the O-O-Wh for wood and sheep.

14:49 probably Yop for 2 wood, road settle. Now we have 3 wheat 3 ore and 1 brick in hand, can use wheat port to pop still. Or even just city to 9 with brick and wheat left in hand. I understand being scared of white taking army, but not all down Ds are knights, us poping doesn't guarantee knights either. With either play adding wheat port, any roll gives you a chance to at least pull for the win next turn, if not city up for guaranteed win and even white has two knights, us wins army long term with strong production and ports. Strictly better scenarios than played

This has to be the most unlucky loss in the history of Catan. You had a winning position and the rolls just dried up. F.

Why not the 3 10 as second settlement to then go directly to the 8 10 first turn with the free road and then going to the port later. It secures 3 safe spots. It might take longer for you to reach the port tho.

You could have placed on the 3 10 and instantly plow red to the 8 10. And after that it would be an easy game.

Hey I was interested in the discord links but they've expired. Given that you only just posted the video, I wonder if you could change the duration of the links' validity? Cheers.

So the INSANE video titles are finally back, huh?

Dylan you have school tomorrow! Time for bed mate

Downside of your setup is the high variance nature. Unfortunate that your rolls just disappeared. After that big turn where you used the yop, you didn't get any cards for like 20 rolls. You did roll the 10 initially, but it was all mono'd/stolen from you. You had it in the bag otherwise

I hate when your rolls dissappear happens so much ti me

Why does he look at his side monitor at 12:00 and immediately knows all cards black has??

2:27 when placing the final settle, why not going on 10 3 to get a road then plow up to 8 10 brick

Pretty ballsy of Rang to play Catan at church

why not go 10-3 with second settle and a free road to 10-5 ??? less risk (almost none) and you get wood and double brick

I think the one who missed his opportunity here was red. first he spared you by settling on 3-10 instead of plowing you by settling on 5-10, and then he bought devs when he should have simply stored ore to build a city and keep building. It was clear that no one was going to contest road to him, while he would have never got army so most of the dev deck was junk in his position. Indeed the road building was terrible for him.. He could have traded his brick for ore with both white and black early on but he never did.

10 3 to 8 10 and then to brick port?

Early gang

Dude those lack of rolls, nothing you can do…

LOL!

Can't believe red didn't run to the 8 3 as their 3rd settle, 2 numbers as paired roads would've been insane

its 2am, your upload schedule be wack af

black cant take your army and win, its only one card per round

Yeah I think you lost that game not taking the wheat port

my guy why city on 10 5 just build ur settlement with the year of plenty , u have lost soo many game by focusing on city. the wheat port gave u so many more options. and u dont look that far ahead. 3 citys im blocking the hell out of u too

What's up with the click bait thumbnail?

I was joyriding with one of my friends when I drove over some road debris and obliterated my tire which kinda ruined my night, hope this video makes it better!

FIrstg...shit

First!

White has position on you and had a great chance at OWS and buying devs to nullify your knights/7s. 8 4 10 terrible choice. Edit: no way white wins, tbc Edit: well, I didn't think he'd get 6 5 11 2nd, so now I'm not sure Edit: so, black did win, with the position white could have had. 1st and 2nd positions need to OWS if it's there. Can't guarantee good Wood/Brick setup that early

you talk a lot. feels like an auction

Love your content but stop lying in your thumb nails dude
