because I'm... *LEFT HANDED*

I always love screaming "VICTORY!!!" every time I teach someone the game for the first time and then school them. No one ever invites me back after the Monopoly trick either. Great tutorial Ryan. Always love your videos.

Take it from me: chants of "In your face!", while comforting, do little to endear people to joining your gaming group.

Yes. I watched the entire "THING." It is a little before midnight, so I watched a few moments, twice. I appreciate you. Likely saved me an embarrassing start to my quest for DOMINATION.

Today, Catan. Tomorrow... uh... 5-6 player Catan!

Amazing job explaining the game. So much easier to follow than the rule book but also great visual cues and just the right amount of banter. Loved the insider tips to keep in mind as well. Really excellent demonstration. Thank you!

Hands down the most concise and understandable Catan video on KZread

I think I finally get it. Great video. Thanks!

Incredibly helpful, creative, and entertaining. Thank you for your efforts! :)

This video is really well edited and really well explained. Great job!

I introduced my parents to Catan today, they enjoyed it! Glad I watched this though, as apparently I didn’t use the right rules, and this sounds more fun than how we played

This is the best Catan guide ever. Period. Very well described. Thank you.

My wife and I just learned from you!! We were puzzled how to play it but now we can play during lock down! Thank you! Just finished playing! You are so good explaining it!

What you _really_ need is a strategy guide so you can whomp 'em! Quick tips: 1. Try not to build on a harbour off the top of the game, unless you can also get frequently-rolling numbers on the resource that harbour needs 2. Avoid building near the desert 3. Always poll the other players for what they might have in their hands before unleashing a monopoly card 4. Remember that sheep/ore/wheat is a great combo that can aid in a development card strategy. There are (i think) four 1-point cards in the development deck, plus two more if you get the Largest Army by using your soldier cards. Add that to the 2 points you begin the game with, and you're most of the way to 10 pts to win!

Well done

thank you

When you start the game do your 2 settlements count as victory points, for example at the very beginning of the game you have 2 victory points?

I played this game when I was an exchange student in Germany back in the 90s, forgot what it was called (settlers in German), re-discovered it as 'catan' and are finally ready to play!

I played this for the first time this weekend, and really enjoyed the game. According to the rules explanation at the 3:08 mark a new settlement must be connected by roads to your other settlements, but the board is not set up this way. All the second settlements aren't connected by roads, or am I missing something?

@NightsAroundaTable

4 жыл бұрын

Ah! Setup is actually the one time you can break that rule. Before the game officially begins, you place two settlements. You can place your second one clear across the island from the first, and it doesn't have to be connected at all. But with each of your first two settlements, you place one road, and each of those roads DO have to be connected to each settlement you place.

Whoa…. wait a second. Is that true?? i’m gonna need to see video evidence!

1) Do you have build a settlement near the harbour (at the ending point) to get resourers..? 2) in my turn play the dice...Can i play more than 2 or more development card at my turn ? Thank you your explanation helped a lot 👍

@NightsAroundaTable

4 жыл бұрын

1) Yes- you need to build all the way out to a harbour and have a city/settlement on that junction to take advantage of its trade ratio. A harbour doesn't give you anything when you roll the dice though. 2) You can only play 1 development card on your turn. If you play a soldier before rolling the dice, you don't get to play another dev card after rolling.

Life of hands

If someone cuts off your road like described at 3:44 , can you continue building your road since it was already established after their settlement? Also, if someone built their settlement before your road was long enough to cut into, can you continue building past their settlement?

@NightsAroundaTable

3 жыл бұрын

1. Yep - if someone interrupts your road, you can keep extending it from either end. 2. Nope - you can't extend roads past someone's settlement or city. Your road development in that direction is effectively blocked by your opponent's structure.

Whoops. When I rolled, I took a resource from each of the 3 hexes the settlement was on,including the one rolled.

A common flub for new players! Also, watch that settlement distance... both your settlements and those of your opponents have to be 2 segments away from themselves and each other. That’s another common newbie goof.
