One thing I see most players not using is the cut opponents road off trick. Let's say you have a not so good win opportunity but having road is one of your winning conditions for sure. You can sweeten the pot a lot for another player that can cut the road off of another player who is absolutely gonna take road if this player did not cut him off. Feed the person a road and city if you need to because that's your win condition. I don't see people do this often.
like the idea of leveraging dev info to facilitate trade, however I think most of the time you aren't likely to offer that if you have insane devs. still nice deal sweetener if you have multiple down devs and mostly knights, can get value there
sadly in Catan didnt exist analyse program based on AI which is can calculate equity lost in decisions...this would raise the level of players to the cosmic level and game theory. im pretty sure probably all of us didnt know some deep things about this game and also trades
Gambling: you tell the player you have 2 ore 2 wood. If he selects an ore he gets both, if he selects a wood he gets nothing. Ofc you need to make sure even if you lose you actually get rid of shit cards for 7. You also need to learn some card tricks making the odds more to your favor.
NO CARDS? No problem!!

This concept is easily understood just so hard to actually implement 😅

You can also ask for: 'Give me the next wool you get' or "don't trade with player X for 2 turns"
LOVE THESE! good point!

Lmao the sponsor outfit 😂
Do you mean the baggy, lilac T-shirt with clashing and barely readable red logo?
hahhahaa glad you liked it!
Most of the time the utilities are worth more than a card...
completely agree! good point!
