  • Last game was a bummer and now we have the brutal 4th position!? Let's give this one a shot. Can we get back to the #1 spot by the end of the season? I think we can! Enjoy the gameplay.

      I talk about the meta game and this game is a great example of that. Black upset 2 players on the first move and you can see the consequences of that

    I learn something from you every game.
    Thank you, sir!

    Love the series, I've learned a lot! Just played a placement game where I didn't have brick when a lot of brick was on the board and no one was doing trades even when I knew they had 3 bricks and I was offering multiple cards. I feel like for placement games I have to think differently than when playing normal ranked games.

    @MACMAMI ปีที่แล้ว

    I've actually had a lot of losses starting in first position, while when starting in fourth position I win a significant chunk of them (even if I get handed fourth-position starts disproportionately by a wide margin, hahahahahaha!) 😅
    As for your setup: I'll admit I was VERY skeptical in how it would turn out being on such weak wheat and not even having access to the brick port..............but you're absolutely right: placement is just part of the game and time and time again we've seen seemingly crushing double O/W/S setups or powerfully balanced setups ultimately fizzle out because the play failed to follow suit. And I don't think your opponents played this game well in my opinion while you were able to exploit their weaknesses effectively.

    5-9-10 (Road left toward the ore port)
    4-9-11 (Road right toward the 3-11/9-2)
    All five resources. Starting wheat and brick. Can connect for Road. Eight pips of production to feed the ore port out the gate. Profit.)

      That is a great setup, no doubt about it! I am a massive fan of off the radar setups though and playing for potential. Ultimately, I think that’s the nice advantage of what we picked. Plus I like the challenge of a wacky setup sometimes.

      That is a viable setup. It’s not clear in the video but I spent pretty much every second calculating ideas. I liked the potential of this setup and how it plays off the radar. Either way, it’s all about outplaying the board in either setup, which we did… minus the blunder haha
