Just signed up for the viewer games. Hope to get the chance to play you. I finished 3rd in the world last season, and am currently ranked 25th, so it would make for an interesting game.

Awesome game! Those 4s and 3s came in clutch lol I hope to play you as well!

Dowe have to pay the $100?

it would be great to see you play games live and you talk through your thought process!

@@fad2679 I stream Catan and have a lesson series on twitch! - twitch.tv/gmdandydrew

Ez money for you :)

@@dandydrew What an amazing resource, thank you! I just watched the first three videos, are there more available somewhere? Or not yet produced?

This was the most engaging catan game I've seen. Please start making videos, we demand catan content!

Time to come out with your own video for that game :D

@@augustinwai6399 Haha I'm not a streamer unfortunately so I wasn't recording. It also appears that he changed his account name bc I can't find his username on the leaderboard. Probably wanted to stay anonymous?

Brilliant insight and so true. Understanding how your position will develop and adapt over time against everyone else’s position is key, and that takes practice. A theme I wanted to share during this session with Dylan was the idea of playing optimal, even in a worse position. In a lot of games, you can have the a “weak” position to start but by being efficient and creative with trades, you can win a lot against sub-optimal or inexperienced players. All the best! - DD

@@dandydrew Oh, appreciate the reply! This is very interesting. I guess it takes practice as you write, the trained eye. But over time it gets better : )

think of it like the fire nation and the water nation but instead it’s the wheat nation and the sheep nation

Here's a video introducing Catan: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pc-BabaYp-DKoY0.html Also, check DyLighted's playlists for strategy videos where he goes through things in more detail and at a slower pace.

3 is not enough brick

But how? The only setup that makes sense for a road game would be the the top 8,3,4 with the 5,4,11. Try to quickly expand to 5,10 and 9,10 and get good trades for the rare wood. But playing without wheat and ore and only 19 starting pips on this board is extremely hard especially since blue now gets a killer setup with the lower 8,3,4. Chances are that you end on 7 points, while everyone else buys cities and devs like crazy. Funny that Drew frist thought that this is a great board for 4th position. It's literally the worst you can get as 4th.

@@ForbiddenForLife69 i see that too but it could work ok with 6311 to wood port. Also for audience that isn’t very good (like me lmao) it is nice to hear the full breakdown so I know what separates the top players from the rest

May be. I think Dylan kind of mentioned that where he said 4511 will be taken and hence going to 5 brick won’t be possible to play a proper road game

A lot of really suboptimal plays

Strongest Ore, Wheat, Sheep players gotta city up asap, then buy devs like crazy. The fact that he didn't dominate in the largest army race shows the errors that he made.

I’ll be streaming it and it’ll most likely be put on the second channel

@@DyLightedCatan terrific

i was thinking 8,4,3 and 11,9,10.. you have all 5 resources and good expansion spots

They already played a knight at the very beginning of the turn. Nice thought tho

Orange and black are in the comments, that's awesome!

@@username7790 Only blue didn't show up... I wonder why...

16:56 "Black played this like an idiot." Black shows up in the comment section. *Awkward silence.*

@@catanace1741 LOL, Dylighted talks a lot of sh*t here but he only won because he got army from a lucky mono. Plus I 7'd out of cities two separate times at 32:45 and 37:43 (the second of which would have been the win). I will admit that pointing my road down instead of towards 3 for 1 port was a mistake.

Worked out though, gg! Yeah but black still nearly won even if he was playing really badly

@@MK-yg2np I was black. Yes I made a mistake not pointing road towards 3 for 1 port, but my main problem was drawing horrible devs to start (no knights), and due to lack of port I wasn't able to city up as quickly as I would have liked. It's hard to see from DyLighted's perspective but I wasn't able to get a city for a while due to my ore being blocked. And then I lost army to DyLighted when he used the mono.

Fair enough black, sorry for calling you bad then

tip : you can always adjust the play speed from normal to 0.75x

Orange and black are in the comments, that's awesome!
