Catan Pro Climbs To Rank #1 - Game 12 "The Catan Circus"

[@dandydrew]

I didn’t have the win at 17:47! I had already played the knight before the roll and couldn’t use the YOP in the same turn 😊

[@monstereugene]

Hey, I'm higher rated than you (is this your main?). My win rate is 28 percent with ~50 games. Hope we get matched lol

[@watari6346]

A good dominating game Drew. Don't censor the chat tho, drama will always be a entertaining part.

[@Sunbeatle707]

The opening rounds of this game were so hilarious with everyone killing each other leaving the player with the best position completely alone. They collectively threw away their chances in the first 5 minutes and then all got upset lol

[@dandydrew]

It was one of those games 🤣

[@bos7522]

Gotta say i respect Orange. If another player is being petty and plowing u at the start of the game to prove a point despite having better options, saccing ur entire game to plow him all over the map sounds like a lot of fun. Red didnt use enough gamer words, couldve been a better villain. Overall not much was learned this game

[@SpencerTwiddy]

Top tier analysis🤌🏼😂

[@dandydrew]

Nailed it!

[@michaelsutherland5848]

There are two ways to play Catan: 1. To win 2. For spite Both are equally fun

[@petecampbell6117]

A great example of why Dandy always says be careful about making enemies. Once a player decided to target you for the whole game, you can be in for a world of hurt!

[@williamhustwit8078]

Thats one way to win .. Just sit back and have the other 3 beat each other up

[@EatieWheaties]

“if there’s a world” love the antics

[@SpencerTwiddy]

lol just watching the chat is so entertaining, they put on a great show good game😂

[@phungxtung164]

You recently mention the meta is that people LOVE free roads and plowing… that certainly comes through in this game and red thinks others are bad but he is also a bit over his head

[@Harbinger631]

Great clown fiesta, very entertaining.

[@jeycarl]

Insert that meme of turning over the bike you're riding by jamming a stick in your wheel. Placements felt odd at first and then went off the rails. Barely any chance for anyone, and all that quarreling just sunk them all together. GG.

[@quazarstar1937]

Great commentary on the game. Love the way you are trying to build a positive community and calling out the negativity.

[@olekhoollie]

Let's gooooo -- 5k!! Congrats~

[@dbruscoco]

Always nice when you're the one that benefits from other people's bad play and pettiness. Not always the way, so enjoy the win! :)

[@vamsikgp]

Wild first 5min. Red cuts off orange who cuts off blck and black cuts off orange who in turn cuts off red. Crazy 😅

[@ericschill842]

17:47 you had the win in hand!!

[@spencerliu7]

He used a knight already, so he can't yop for the win

[@dandydrew]

I didn’t! This is the 4th comment about this lol I had already played a knight so I couldn’t use the YOP

[@arah2368]

Red plows orange. Orange plows black. Black plows orange. Orange plows red. Meanwhile DD be chillin’

[@Paraninja]

Ha, ha! Hilarious. I actually love crazy games like this now and again. They've got character.

[@davidlessenberry8736]

"That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing." Martin Luther King, Jr. Pretty heavy stuff for what's supposed to be a fun game, but the truth speaks for itself.

[@wdominie]

Can I call out your great attitude in your videos? Don't think I've ever heard lose even the slightest amount of chill.

[@dandydrew]

You need to watch more videos then! 😂 Thank you for the kind words - I try my best to keep it together

[@ashutoshsamantaray6596]

@@dandydrew you should make a playlist where you lose chill. Like if you are losing chill, then for sure, its an entertaining game!

[@0xluizs]

Retired hero would be proud of these plows

[@fisher00769]

This was very entertaining, I could only make it better by playing "Entry of the Gladiators" by Julius Fucik in the background.

[@dandydrew]

I might be experimenting with music in future games like this to just go all-in on entertainment value lol

[@robertommb]

Firstt!!! Thanks for consistent uploads! Love the content

[@slidenaway]

LOL what can I say. People are wild. Well played!

[@morningstar6123]

17:47 you had the win with 6 sheep and 1 wheat + YOP if I'm not mistaken. Good game though, well played on getting red to settle really silly on the 6-2.

[@diegochavez1399]

Knight had already been played before he rolled

[@em_greenfield]

That was an entirely different kind of masterclass 😂

[@troboxer4279]

New to the Chanel, already a big fan ❤

[@mos5678]

What was it that Dandy said when coaching dylighted? Alot of newer players when they see plow they take plow?

[@dandydrew]

The truest statement I’ve made this week! 😂

[@jeroplane]

9:16 why not take the trade from black there?

[@thistamndypo]

LMAO not the reverse psychology

[@seamonster175]

As much as red went way too crazy in the chat, id be tilted as fuck with the way orange and black gave you every trade you ever needed with 10+ cards in hand, and the block on the 5 was ridiculous 😂

[@connorwells687]

Didn’t you have the win at 17:48? Idk might be missing something. But you get 2 cards from sheep, 2 from year of plenty, and then you city.

[@dandydrew]

You missed that I played a knight before the roll

[@JamesUpright]

LoL! Run outside, take a jog, and come back and we should have enough cards in out hand.

[@dandydrew]

Sometimes it’s nice to play a game where you can just vibe for a bit.

[@dandydrew]

Every once in a while, I got jokes! :)

[@piepie3295]

Love watching them rage in chat and plow each other XD

[@scottmsul]

If I was red I'd probably put my second settle on the 6 brick/12 ore and build towards the 9 wheat/10 sheep. Then you get all 5 resources on good numbers and own the entire left side of the board.

[@florentingoyens7558]

Very fun game haha

[@EatieWheaties]

whatcha gonna do (TM)

[@ramonruijgt4532]

they saying a eye for a eye: catan a plow for a plow you not going to settle now. whats your avarage/deafault 10 point plan for a road builder. so you can get 5 settlements and 2 points for road=7 points. so either you need citys or vp's.

[@dandydrew]

5 settles + LR + city + victory point is one of the most consistent road game plans

[@zhiwui2114]

I'm 6 minutes and 20 seconds into the game. What are these plows lol?

[@dandydrew]

Content lol

[@joelrobinson9632]

Honestly these games are the best when you just stomp the opposition and theyre too busy fighting each other 😂

[@ignacioalmonacid6153]

He had the win the previous round...

[@abusethesun]

Should have tripled popped at the end for the rush. Very least you could have popped once before doing the city

[@dandydrew]

Time to end the misery

[@evindahood]

man and orange still got 7 after all that

[@moona202]

No clue why red would ever take the 6-2, he pretty much just took it prove a point and ruined his own game

[@Sele1908]

Since you already had the 3:1 port wouldnt it have been better to just go for the sheep port instead for the second 3:1 to maximize trading efficiency and get an extra wheat spot?

[@dandydrew]

Good question! It’s about efficiency AND speed. The problem is we don’t produce a lot of wood and we have no brick, so each road matters in terms of speed. We would have to manufacture an additional road to get to the sheep port. Think about this - If I don’t have the wood in my hand, then I would need to port 6 cards to make that additional road. Better to have those 6 cards go towards building the final city. It’s actually a bit faster to just road settle on the other 3:1 for the settle spot/point than worry about the added efficiency of the sheep port. Once we get the 4 settle spot, we city for the win. You don’t have to get too caught up in 2:1 ports when you had so much production and a 3:1 working for you.

[@petecampbell6117]

@@dandydrew True...you really didn't need the sheep port at that point to secure the win.

[@davidlessenberry8736]

My two cents: I play against bots a lot when I am cooking, washing dishes, etc. Bots really would have played this one better; trust me.

[@vishwaschoudhary8683]

You had the win the previous round only i mean sell 6 sheep for 2 ore and play the YOP for wheat and ore

[@dandydrew]

Nope. I played a knight during the same turn.

[@-JoMar28-]

Like, comment, watch Edit after watch: "No chill" indeed lol

[@dandydrew]

JoMar28 - I see you doing the comment section work today. You are awesome - ALL CHILL!

[@-JoMar28-]

@DandyDrew - Catan just doing my little bit. Keep up the amazing content!

[@EatieWheaties]

the ranked community has been incredibly toxic lately not sure how to fix it

[@Funglutton]

Implement a Reputation system linked to player reports. Require players to log in for ranked. Ban low Rep from Ranked. Block multi-account devices/IPs from Ranked.

[@Funglutton]

And implement Anonymous Mode for Ranked/Tournament play. But that can come a bit later.

[@Dminuspictures]

I love Catan, and Colonist is such a solid platform, but I’ve been playing a lot less because of how toxic chat usually is.

[@bramromkes325]

Those other players are definitely not part of the Dandy Crew

[@dandydrew]

There is a world where that is true… and it’s this one!

[@fkingyeet3725]

SallyWinItAll!

[@fkingyeet3725]

INFINITE KNIGHTS! LOL

[@dandydrew]

A Thanos snap of a game

[@fadedshadeTV]

Very one-sided this one, you had that in the bag from the start. Sadly the toxicity you experienced is something i have seen often on Colonist and i kinda hate it. I wish there was a button to close down the chat when the conversations devolve like that, so i don't myself get tempted to "partake" in the stupid. Also, if i had been playing your position, when you see no one was going to contest your 3:1 expansion and Orange wasnt going for the sheep port, i think i would have made that my priority to get on the sheep port instead of going for the 3:1.

[@Jacob-qr8pl]

oh man if you censored the chat, I would have imagined a much, MUCH worse dialogue 😅

[@rdcruick]

Can't wait until you get to higher ranks for this season. Most of the players in the past few games have been absolute trash.

[@dandydrew]

Yeah the run is getting better and better… I promise!

[@wyronnachtjager]

You forgot that you had a yop didnt you? I think you could have won a bit earlier

[@dandydrew]

It’s funny multiple people have said this… I played a knight so I couldn’t use the YOP during the same turn. It’s very rare I miss winning plays like that - Don’t expect it to happen around here ;)

[@darthskixx2263]

​@@dandydrew you missed the win in style though, I would pop thrice in the end :D

[@evansmith2832]

Could have tried to pull for the win before the city, we're all very disappointed in you.

[@thistamndypo]

The sole canadian is the most toxic 😞

[@davepotts13]

Dandy ... why wouldn't you block the 8 just because the 8 had just rolled? Ive seen you do this a couple times and it makes no sense

[@dandydrew]

I generally try to block based on what has already rolled… if the ore rolls, blocking the wheat is ideal… and vice versa.

[@davepotts13]

@@dandydrew but the number that last rolled is irrelevant. Thats not how probability works. If the 8 rolled 10 times in a row the odds of it rolling again are exactly the same as if it hadnt rolled in 100 rolls ... the dice have no memory. Same as flipping a coin .. get 100 heads in a row, the chance of getting a tail on the next flip is still 50:50

[@pmnt_]

It's not about the probability, it's about the ore they already have in their hand. Blocking wheat hurts more because the ore in the hand is dead weight without wheat.

[@spigg9519]

​@davepotts13 I don't think it's about probability, but rather what resource is in demand. If they just rolled the ore they don't need it anymore it's already in their hand, the wheat however is what they want to pair with that ore.

[@davepotts13]

@@spigg9519 Dandy has on multiple occasions said " I wont block the X because the X has just rolled". This is false logic. Zero to do with whats in demand. If someone has lets say 2 cities on a spot and its just rollled, you dont want them to get yet another 4 resources if thats a key roll for them. Great debate though guys

[@Juse.10]

Imagine placing 6 2 on a useless port and finding surprise when you lose the game lol

[@dandydrew]

I think what happens is players feel entitled because they have a good first settle spot, and assume they should have an easy game

[@mchiarelli91]

Catan and bad players calling other players bad. Tale as old as time 😂

[@fcampos10]

Very emotional players, plowing each other just to get revenge without getting any benefit to their game 🤣
