RISKY Port Strategy in Top 5 Ranked Catan Game

[@FlorisDeLeeuw]

It's inspiring that you prioritize fun over achievement.

[@hughcatan]

It’s because sometimes I get too wrapped up in winning and the game itself and I have to remind myself it’s about having fun lol

[@JohnSmithEx]

If having zero winning chances (like Hugh in this game) was fun, people would not rage quit when things don't go their way, and then be replaced by bots. Being in a game where everyone can win except yourself, is actually pretty miserable and depressing. Nothing inspiring or fascinating about it.

[@JohnSmithEx]

You pulled an almost perfect "ShadesOnBroadway" here. This strategy consists of 4 main steps: 1. Declare a preference for road game over OWS. 2. Declare the determination to not buy dev cards. 3. Buy dev cards like a mad man the whole game. 4. Lose the game.

i'm old what is a shadesonbroadway haha

I was red this game, and i think if i remmember correctly, started the game with pulling 2 vps. Rb was the 3rd dev. So i wasnt even able to defend myself. And since green pretty much secured the road i had small chance of winning. Fun playing with you tho 😊 HF

[@hughcatan]

yeah very unlucky with the dev pulls haha! i think we've played a bunch together lately and you're fun to play with. thanks for coming by and supporting the channel hope to see you in game again soon!

[@kubas2424]

Thx Hugh.. Yeah weve got some history, think youre leading like 3:0, we actually played one hilarious game before you took break too. There was a bot who bullied you so much, it was funny ​@@hughcatan

13:30 "Could be as simple as he was fishing for my wheat" - Never attribute malice to what can be explained in other ways : )

[@hughcatan]

Words to live by!!

[@rumozamonia6645]

I like your vibes dude! Keep going :)

[@hughcatan]

thanks brother!

[@ZzZ-qd1zo]

Definitely prefer road over OWS, both playing and watching. Can't believe you turned into the army player though 😂, wild game!

[@hughcatan]

glad you feel the same! lol

Interesting pick ... why not pick 5 8 10 as 2nd ?

[@JJBeauregard1]

Why do players keep calling a mono when someone is asking for a trade? Is the trade to see who has the resource and who doesn't so you can make sure to get value from the mono?

[@hughcatan]

if they have a development card and they're trying to trade away a resource that there are a lot of in peoples hands that they're gunna mono anyway, then they get a free card or cards for the trade because they mono the resource they traded away back!

[@mMentzer]

Players like green are the reason I have to recreate my account every few months after being banned for calling them out on their bs.

[@JohnSmithEx]

Nah, you would do it anyway because you are terrified by the Tall poppy syndrome, and the whole "players like green" is just an excuse.

At 20:30 the wheat nb, why not trade wood for wheat and settle?
