You know it's a game of pros when it ends with everyone close to winning. The way you all could identify who the biggest threat was at each stage of the game, and gang up on them was impressive.

Such a high level game. For everyone to recognize black's position with only 3 visible VPs and coordinating to stop them was impressive.

117 turns? 3 hours? Holy cow, you guys really know how to shut each other down. How did you burn 102 cards? That was nuts!

Wow at this level it’s like everyone plays with their hand face up. The constant jostling for balance really made those rolls mean a lot! What a game!

I think this illustrates very well that there are actually two games being played in Catan. The first is about strategy, resources, expansion, points, etc... The second is the social game where you try to subtly influence your opponents to take (or not take) actions by convincing them that there are greater threats than you

Just goes to show the incredible efficiency of dev cards though, black nearly won with rolling half the resources that you did. This game is just a crazy demonstration of how ridiculously OP OWS is

I have taken 3-4 hours of your game play and tips and decided to play catan I won my 1st game thanks to you

The wtf MC double twist ending

Also, I love that you're going through the end of game stats. I have been pounding the table about how production wins games. Not always, of course, but it's the biggest factor I've seen. Unless you play badly, or someone else is very lucky, production trumps everything. Getting the meaty spots (plus a good port or two) is almost unstoppable. Even stupid sheep will win a game if played right.

Lmao. DyLighted you did them so dirty.

I've been loving the regular videos! Such a great way to end my work day. Keep up the good work!

I really love how you didn't spoil the ending in the title, despite how insane the clutch was! Made it that much more exciting to watch

I missed the "What play should make here" part. I like to think about the decisive moments of the game and see if there is a splendid play to make. I'm also liking the moments where the first place player is dragged from their throne.

26:03 so my first thought is: if we're focusing on scuppering black, what's useless to them? sheep, wood, and brick, right? so if we're porting we're porting for one of those. and it probably ought to be wood because we've got so much brick production. if we hit 5brick ONCE, that's enough brick to take longest road. if we hit 12brick we can still port for the third one. in comparison, wood production would be very slow. but on the other side of the coin: what are our outs here? our only possible way to win is longest road + city, right? three cities would be too much to ask for. there's an argument then, to hold the ore if it were possible. but with that monopoly out, I fear that holding ore - instead of trading out - is the same thing as handing it to black, especially because ore is the only stack at ?? instead of ???. better to rely on 2:1 of wheat or useless sheep - ugly as it may be - as our last minute source of ore when we have enough wheat in hand to pair with it (i.e. whenever the 10wheat hits) so, to conclude... I think I port for wood here.

More videos. More streams. This is the beat timeline. Nice placements

That’s was insane, you totally got the better deals with the table talk, can’t believe they listened!

Dylighted uploaded today. Today is a good day.

Bro the clutch wins lately 🤯 SHEEEESH

Loving how entertaining, intense, and frequent your content is getting! Great job Dylan

Getting cut off when another player have very clear better options is one of my biggest triggers - I will sometimes just take the 1 point karma hit than playing with a pos.

The game shows perfect that the in colonist io aren't unbalanced, it's just because most catan games are like 60 turns so it can happen a number gets rolled a little more than average, but the longer the game goes, the more balanced the dice are.

Not enough likes for the viewcounts - guys, leave likes on his content! It helps him out and that means content that we enjoy keeps coming and he gets appreciation he deserves! I do not want to miss out on those.

I mostly used to watch your commentary videos, so this is a bit new for me. You're a HELL of a table talker my friend. Most entertaining!!

Love your vids man, getting close to 30K subs!! I have high hopes for the channels success this year

That game took 3 hours? That’s just crazy 😱

Really exciting gameplay and analysis, can't wait for the next video!!!

I was hoping you wouldn’t forget about your available settlement spot on the 4 sheep! Great game!

After seeing realcrait is in this, I really hope it’s the game where you piss him off because that was hilarious

What a final turn rotation! You went from scraping for points to the dice handing you 10 cards! Spectacular.

I had never even heard of Catan, but stumbled across one of your videos and cannot stop watching. Your content is absolutely great and you can tell you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. Bravo!

I gotta say I really appreciate your commentary and insight which is getting better and better with every video. I m learning a lot and it's helping me beat my friends. I only recently got into Catan but fell in love instantly and your channel is like food for my soul cos it's the best Catan content on YT.

I totally understand the 5-9-10 because of the production and wheat port, but I agree that the better choice was the 8-5-10. You could have gotten the wheat and ore on the way back (maybe the 8-10), and had a solid game. But you guys negotiated your way to a near tie. That was an education.

Wow! Intense game man good job winning that. Table talk was intense this match. The turn where you were deciding to port the ore to dodge mono, I thought brick was best to hopefully get road

Your videos are quality. I've learned so much from your videos. I love your enthusiasm and excitement for catan.

"So I could extort the shit out of him but he's probably gonna say no so I just have to plow him" lmao I love the dialogue that comes with Catan

thank you dylan for your great catan content! your videos and streams have been my biggest inspiration to start playing online, joining my first tournaments and trying to improve whenever i play! something unexpected like that happened to me on sunday during the tournament qualifiers: my 2 wheat rolled which in combination with playing my third knight (=army & stealing another wheat) allowed me to city+pull a third VP for the win, when the road player after me had the guaranteed win in hand. from 4 visible VP and no 3:1 port to winning in a single turn - nobody saw that coming (including myself haha). sadly i misplayed in the top 16 semi final - again. "fast" timers can get very stressful :(

I was intrigued by the 8-5-3 (wood-brick-ore) as I notice the number of surrounding expansion spots is plentiful as it's unlikely players will want to place around the desert

D, your strongest attribute of your gameplay is, your table talking. You are very cunning and you elegantly articulate your plans into action with your swift and sly table talk. And to further amplify that ability of yours, you use your wisdom and experience and ability to track cards to make even top tier opponents believe they are benefiting just as much as you if not more from your offers and solutions. And then there is also your keen perception of your victory conditions, and awareness to also know your opponents conditions as well, and the required strategic understanding to successfully use all of your knowledgeable foresight to formulate a game plan that will allow you the highest probability of achieving the chicken dinner!!! Truly you are a genius at Catan sir.. or colonist.io, whichever the official name is, apologies for my ignorance on that matter. And lastly, sorry for the short book, I hope you are willing to read all of my praise to you, because you deserve to hear it man. GG, and may you continue to improve until you reach the top and even still continue to improve further. I'm confident you will soon be the face of this game and you are without a doubt slowly but surely popularizing this magnificent game. Much love.

Congrats on the win and setup, I like that you didn't make any mistakes or hardly any.

Your editing is so enjoyable. I really enjoy watching your Catan videos, my only grievance is that there isn't more of them :p

Awesome video, bro! Love learning this type of stuff!

I’ve heard of streamer luck but that’s something else. All skill

New viewer, I’ve played catan with friends and family. The pacts or promises they are making to each other about specific moves or settlements never happen in my games. Why would these players make them? There’s no obligation to follow through?

This is some next level phychology play, congrats dude!!

Love your videos! Your channel is on track to get huge!

Really upped my Catan game by watching these. Content is great!

Haven't even watched the video yet. Just commenting for the algorithm.

Maaan, I need one video each day to watch begore going to sleep. I haven’t slept for two weeks now!

I love that content, but if every uploaded video is a win for DyLighted then this takes away all the tension. You are a great catan player, but to become a better youtuber you will have to swallow your pride and show your mistakes as well.

I think DyLighted's games are entertaining to watch, but I don't think I've ever seen a game where he loses? ha

Incredible comeback. So hype

rip Eric giving you the 8th point out of kindness lol

Praise the 12

Omg that was such a weird, crazy, fun game lol. Well played, and amazing luck at the end with those rolls.

How does he do it? Can he ever lose? The world will never know either answer....

This was legendary! More of this please!

Dy lighted where are you ? i've seen about all your vids. need moar! :o) btw your starting song is really nice. always makes me vibe

Not finished the video yet but does it seem quite tense at the beginning? A lot of animosity as people screw over each other

Are we gonna talk about how he won a game with 1/1296 odds?

I love this Chanel so much

At 26 mins, I think you’ve got to hold your Ores. There isn’t much point to go for longest road, there are no dev cards, and you can’t build any settlements. The only thing you can do next is build a city, and you have high wheat production and lower Ore.

Damn that was a good game, 12 came in so clutch!

New drinking game. Drink every time he says “gross”

slacking with the uploads mannnnnn

That last stretch on game was pretty insane. Pulled that win out of your behind 🤣

At 16:31 why not use year of plenty go brick brick and get longest road and building a settlement on the 6/11 which give you 3 vps and just absolutely kills blue?

How did I not know you stream your game lol turning on that notification...so sad I missed the live game.

I'm not a fan of the subscribe/bell popup every few minutes. I understand it probably helps with growth, but it does get irritating throughout a 30 minute video.

I love this kind of video format

I thought 8,4 should be the first city upgrade. It will give balance to excess wheat that you produce. you were anyway going to settle on wheat port and brick port, so getting 2 bricks/2 wheats instead of 3 wheats/3 bricks wasn't going to help as much as the extra ore or the wheat.

You’re the man!! So entertaining

bruh lets go! so calm and collected this game loved it

Absolutely adore your videos... but now I'm getting to the point where there is no suspense because you ALWAYS win!!!! Would love to see more videos where you lose ;-)

I would port your 3 ore away for maybe a sheep or something. Black does not have the sheep port and you mentioned earlier that it is basically useless at that point in the game. The other option could maybe be to trade it with blue in hopes that they can port it all away.

that was a crazy game, those 12s at the end were nuts

Black. the player with 2 towns. Becomes the scariest player on the board...

Please, do more videos. Your videos help me with my catan and help to be stronger in pandemic. Cheers from Brazil. o/

The whole beginning was quite bizarre. @DyLighted had the exact same 5 brick + 6 lumber as Blue, the difference was Blue had 8 lumber with lumber port and @DyLighted had 10 + 9 grain. And then everyone though it was ''balance'' to give DyLighted the 8 ore with a 3x1 port... What? That was real sketchy negotiations there, they gave him the win.

This guy is the greatest catan KZfaqr I’ve ever seen

Wowowowow great vid. What an ending

Really nice game, the end was so fun and unexpected, also this comment is for the algorithm.

Port for a brick and place the road. You might be able to snatch thelongest road and a city for the win later on

this was exhausting to watch so much back and forth, great gameplay tho

also, you got quite the heart of the dies out there lol

Make more stuff!!! i have watched all of your videos already lol

That was the single craziest game I've ever watched.

With great powers comes great responsibility

Dylighted classic mobster robber

I was wondering, where did you find that version of Catan with the clean UI ? The steam version has a horrible one, although it looks fancier.

Keep going Dyl!

Port for wheat as you have wheat port and high production..... or brick to steal longest road

I've never played this before and i have no idea what I'm watching 😅

I love your content, but I wish you didn't cut parts of the video. Watching the full unedited game engages me more.

INSANE, lol. Loved it.

Opening 5-8-10 missing wheat but a much more well rounded resources and rolls. Wheat harbor is strong on this map.

That's a great end!

You extorted blue nicely at 16:50. But why did you take three wood for a wheat? You ended up porting it right back into a wheat...

Wow, those last rolls were insane

That reaction at the end!
