How frustrating....You were so obviously pointing out their unequal treatment. You basically had no chance in this game. I have never seen such uniform blocking of a single player.......WHEW ....HOW HORRIBLE AND THEY WERE LAUGHING.

Great win.I enjoyed hearing table talk.maybe you can start having it again.

I wouldn't say anyone is running better than God....That is like saying," Nothing can sink the Titanic" That was said by a professional before the fateful sinking of the Titanic.................God is above everything,.............we are like specs of dust..........just sayin.

Oh NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! what a sad game to watch...........

WOW WHAT A HARD GAME TO WATCH From your stand point,,I kept yelling at the other players to leave you alone to no avail.Well i didn't really yell out loud, but in my brain for sure!

Such a complicated game the roads were going up everywhere........... ports made each person dangerous in his own right,I thought you might have won sooner if you had city'd earlier,You were a target anyway despite not city' ing up??

@ 21:30 or so. with all that brick it seemed like a good idea to take the brick port??? Did you reject this idea?

I like the way you play in such a calm manner . Even when things are so tense and you 7 out repeatedly you don't get mad.....at least outwardly, and you don't yell at your opponents. I appreciate how respectful you are even when you are losing ( which obviously didn't happen this time)

@ 4:09 Why not 3, 8. 10 brick wheat sheep?

@ 42:00 you could have bought a dev card?

I've watched lots of Catan but I've only ever seen Dy-Lighted try to trade down a hand with over 7 cards to avoid "sevening" out. What do you think of this? Can you show how to do it? (In the Chats?)

Very early in the game you could have built a road and you would have won way earlier. You held over 7 cards more often than you needed to?????

Miss your Videos Ziggy :) Hope you are well, greetings from germany

Miss your Videos! Always so great content

I'm wondering if there will be any new videos coming from you?

Very appreciated Catan Games from you, nice to watch, you seem like a symphatic guy, keep it up. Greetings from Germany :)

where have you gone?

34th min why didn’t you steal longest road and win?

Hey how are you doing! Missing your videos. But definitely take some time off if you need it self care comes first! I hope your are having a great month of December! Looking forward to your next video whenever it’ll come 😃

I think sometimes players can try too hard to avoid not starting on wheat... For instance blue placing 4th... Instead of sacrificing a lot of production by taking the 8-10-3 and 6-3, and fighting what would seem to be a losing largest army battle with white based on white's superior first settlement, maybe go 8-4-10 and 6-5-12 and point your road towards the 4-11 wheat on the 3-1 port... You don't start with wheat, but you have everything else, and great production, and need just 2 roads to get to the 4-11, which will give you both wheat and the valuable port for all your production... It wouldn't take too long with your road production, and you just need to trade for 1 wheat with a player or the bank to get that first expansion settlement, and then you'll have wheat and a strong port and won't need to rely on anyone else... Maybe there's a small chance someone starts on the 4-11 like you suggested, but that wouldn't be the best play for them, and even if they did, that would almost for sure leave the 8-3 3-1 port open, and you could point your 8-4-10 road down to that just as insurance... One of the 4-11 or 8-3 will be open, and while the 4-11 is preferable, I still think you could play a strong road game even with no wheat, with all 4 other resources, a lot of production, and a 3-1 port... The 6-5-12 also blocks off the upper part of the island, and should give you a good road network, which red in this game actually ended up using to take longest road... Based on the first 3 settlements, longest road just seems more uncontested than largest army, and since the highest producing spots point you that way, it seems wrong to give up production just to take the wheat and go for army... Just my opinion... I know ore-wheat-sheep is the strongest overall setup in Catan, but I don't think you should go out of your way to secure it when someone else already seems to be completely going for it and has a better first settlement placement... Good game though and good win... Enjoy the content...

With that road building. Was ploughing green for the 4,8 wheat an option? Red is going to want a city at some point and you'd probably have been able to double up on the 8 ore fairly soon. I guess if you were considering trying to go for road, what you did made sense, but it didn't sound like that was the case.

Taking the brick at the start was definitely the move. If the 12's hadn't rolled, red would have looked just as pathetic as everyone else did. By the time the brick started being blocked, you had so much production it didn't really matter and it hurt red far more than you.

I didn’t like your first pick at all. I would have gone on the 10/9/11 take the ore and then there where 2 amazing wheat sheep spots left?

It's pretty much impossible to win when it's 3 against 1. You still did amazingly well. If red had been even slightly good at the game, they wouldn't have needed the help to win once black made that somewhat questionable 2nd settlement pick.

Big mistake I noticed: At the end, before you played the knight, you had a chance to pull a dev card. Could have hat that 11VP game 😄

Ouch, but lucky none of your opponents had the win. I've done that, too: so focused on one thing that I miss the big picture. Except I don't have a bunch of viewers screaming at me that I screwed up. What really won the game for you was your income. You just destroyed them even though you were blocked most of the game. Good initial picks, and that early settlement letting you get sheep made you almost totally self-sufficient. I think you had 1 trade the whole game.

Production is the priority in the early game. I believe you should settle on 4/5 first in order to start city/dev engine having a more optimal resource ratio. Also blocking blue future expansion.

I agree with the 9 10 11 for the first city. The 4 wood was already a robber magnet and this will take off some pressure there.

Keep up the good work!!! Good luck with growing your channel! Have you heard of Promosm?! I think it would really help you grow your channel!!!

How many of those hats do you have? And what are they called?

Happy to see your videos back in my feed TryNice <3 I had one question on counter-extortion I wanted to run by you. In the beginning placements, I followed your reasoning and expected white to try and extort to get the sheep port. In my head, I considered responding to that with a counter extortion. Something like “I’m not helping you get the sheep port, and if you take the 8-10, I’ll help blue get there instead of you.” Not sure it would change the outcome, but curious on you’re thoughts on this idea.

I got bad vibes when I read the "Blundered" in the title, but actually things were much better than I thought!

1) Why not 8/10/4 2nd pick and point right to 5/4/11. Massive production for 5/4/11 2nd settlement spot and more balanced road production since you are on 6 wood 2) I think blues offer before 8th pick was pretty good. Why not try to discuss a bit more, and potentially make some deal? 10 ore + 5/11/8 sheep 2:1 port with no wheat isnt that strong tbh, and it strenghtens your position. 3) 26:25 I see a potential win this turn. Why not trade to trade some sheep away and for a dirty mono? You need two wood + three wheat to win with settle + road + 2x city. If you manage to get a trade for the wood you have 3:1 port for porting the remaining 4 cards you need. 4) 37:20 Settle 4/11 and build three roads and you win? You had the hand to do it, even without using the mono!

26:30 I think you should mono sheep here tbh. You need to steal 12 sheep to win with this hand (settle, double city and take road). I think you probably fall just short of that but u should still be able to settle and double city I think. And if white has one or two sheep in their hand it's very nice to steal them. I guess there is an argument to hold the mono for a better position on white but there's a decent risk white wins on their next turn so I think u just have to mono now. And also white goes immediately before you so you're never going to get a great mono position on them anyway cos they use all their cards before your turn.

Yay new upload. I would take the offer from white at the beginning. The 8/10 is a great spot for you and they are gonna be trading you sheep or wheat for your bricks which will help you get there. Sheep port is good for white for sure but getting a 3:1 port is very valuable for you too. And blue will be buying devs to compete with white so you can help them out with that if white gets too scary

You had the win at 37:30

They would never expect the second mono shinanigans and your hand would have been usable for both turns.

Should have used road building to steal the 4 11 spot and mono the turn after.

13:06 You should extort black to give you an ore and a wheat for a brick so you don't plow the sheep port. Black is dead if they don't accept and you get to road settle the 3:1 and buy a dev for protection cos you're about to get robbed hard. You can even give two bricks if black doesn't accept initially cos you would much rather get the dev card than have the excess brick.

Hi Ziggy, John Smith here, welcome back, we missed you! The new hexagonal camera view is very nice. 😃 Unfortunately TH-cam decided to shadow ban the comments of my main account, for some undisclosed reason. Go figure...

good to see you back

Very nice return!

Nice game. Great to see you back. I agree with 6/9/3 in second position. But I prefer 6/3/11 on the way back because you get coordinated 6's and if you point up you can build to whichever spot brown leaves open.

Nice game. Really enjoy the music overlaid on the game. Very soothing.

The screen recording is quality is much better, I like it!

If you take 6/9/10 you swap setups with black and get a much better position. 6/5/10 is also interesting. It's less clear what 4th position does in that scenario but you're always going to have something on the 4 or 10 wheat open

Can count on ole Moe to stop by the stream, looking forward to catching some games and having you back!

excuses...only reason why you didnt produce content were the playoffs;)

Have you been playing meanwhile? What have we missed of your Catan journey? Looking forward to new content!

Good work - keep it up!
