This is typical Canada. Openly discussing strategies. I'd be listening to everyone and then looking at how their suggestions help them. This game it all about screwing your neighbors. My mind is blown that they are all talking about there strategies. "You go there and my game is done" is essentially begging for you to take that spot because they want opportunities.

Honestly, a masterful game by Drew. It cannot be understated his ability to respectfully table talk his way into favorable trades whilst maintaining a positive image. However, I do think Josh fumbled the bag by conceding road early. His production would’ve outpaced everyone else’s had he prioritized getting to the middle of the board. Sonny was limited by his placement, and perhaps shouldn’t have made some of those trades to Drew when his numbers weren’t hitting. Xiao played a great game, but I think him taking road painted him a much greater threat, allowing Drew to manipulate the board into balancing the game. This bought time for Drew to expand production and get some consecutive rolls on his big numbers. With some dev luck, Drew had a chance, and he took it. Well done, Drew!

@shadesonbroadway4 ай бұрын
I can provide context to this. (I am Joshua smith or blue in this game) Me, Sonny, and the judge, were not in a position from our seat to read the die roll. I firmly believe it was an accident by Xiao, but Drew was the only one seated in a position close enough to view the roll. Which is why you’ll hear me verbally ask a couple of times in the early game to read the number out loud, for us and the audience. The roll ended up being very important for numerous reasons, but with the setup we had, I think we did best we could. They provided much better coverage and quality to prior years, and mistakes do happen. A lot of people aren’t calling out the even bigger oopsies that occurred in game! (I’ll let you try and find it :P)

Joshua, as a player in the US finals, should have better game manners than to constantly be bitching about not getting rolls/staying behind for the entire second half of the game. That and a few other game manners kinda pissed me off, but I guess it’s subjective 🤷♂️
@shadesonbroadway4 ай бұрын
Seeing as how my most impactful rolls (11) rolled 0 times, and 9 and 5 (my other most impactful rolls) rolled half as much as they should have, I think I deserve a bit more tolerance than that :) You’re welcome to your opinion however :)

If you guys really want Catan to take off and people to watch this, you need to make the viewing experience much cleaner. The live board sucks and is hard to read at a glance, you should have a 'spectator' recreate what's happening on the live board on a Colonist web board, like they do in chess.

agreed, the board is unreadable, honestly most of non-colonist platforms give me an headache and I cant focus on the game, they should just have some graphic designer take a hint and make something minimalist instead of the original board game design

I think Josh peacemakered himself into a losing position. It also hurt that he shared the 6 Ore only with Xiao. It made it an easy block target the majority of the game. He was also hurt in that the 9s just didn’t roll much.
