    As a person who has never played Catan, this video fails to mention why roads are important at all. My first thought was "why do i need to build roads? are they just for the longest road victory points?". In the build phase this guide fails to mention that you can only build settlements where your roads reach.

    This is well done. You may want to add that there has to be at least 2 road segments between builds. So if a settlement is in an intersection, you can't build within 2 road segments of that settlement.

I almost won even though it was my first try, but I was collecting the knight card because I thought I have to collect the 3 knights first then give them away to get the point card. Later when I put all 3 cards down, I realised that I had to play them 3 times, not collect them. And then my sister won. But it was really a fun experience. And I used alot of beginner's luck.

    great tutorial. by the way I think the robber has no effect on cards less than 8. Rule say "if you have more than 7 cards" and even specifies it means equals 8 or more. However if you get robbed when you have 7, it will make the game level harder and requires even more stronger hand and risk management.
