I think a new strategy would be for the first and last player to pair up. The last player helps the leading player win in exchange for him overtaking the other two players.

@@SerbAtheist That's called kingmaking and is illegal in tournament play.

I agree and it's not even just because of the benefit of hindsight. In normal circumstances, maybe in the early - mid game, playing efficiently is the way to go. But I feel like Dylighted sometimes tunnels on always using his resources in the most economical way possible without taking into account the blocks/risk of 7 out or risk of being jacked (and in this case, all of them happened at some point because he was in first place). The advantage from using the port in that position is huge as it would zero out his hand, meaning that his opponent would be stolen from 100 percent + he would get a very valuable dev.

He couldn't do that. He would need 5 brick, and he had 0 or 1 in hand.

@@catanace1741 with 3:1 and sheep port it might work. His last card was a brick

@@yorai26 It wouldn't, I checked :)

@@catanace1741 yeah if we think about it we know all his cards so it’s can be calculated. I wonder if this idea at least came to his mind

Red was allowed to get a 3:1 port when they already had a sheep port. Good brick and wood plus space on the board so longest road was theirs to lose plus all the expansion spots made them unblockable

I placed on the 4-11 in this one (Not my video): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7hyg9ufyq2qdYU.html Not gonna say if I won or not, as to not introduce spoilers. :)
