As a person who has never played Catan, this video fails to mention why roads are important at all. My first thought was "why do i need to build roads? are they just for the longest road victory points?". In the build phase this guide fails to mention that you can only build settlements where your roads reach.

Love this game! We just started playing this about 3-4 months ago. It's Much fun!!! I didn't know about a city breaking a road path and cancelling the longest road. That's interesting. I'll have to remember that next time we play it.

Maybe Im wrong, But I believe if you have 7 cards you are safe from the robber. Directions say "more" than 7 not 7 or more

[nikolai]

at around 5:30, I believe it is more than 7 cards (so 8 or more) that has to choose half of their cards (rounded down if odd) to discard

[robertwood]

That was WAY better than the 4 minute video from a different channel. Thank you.

[jonigonzales]

This is well done. You may want to add that there has to be at least 2 road segments between builds. So if a settlement is in an intersection, you can't build within 2 road segments of that settlement.

Randomly came across a video of people playing this, then needed to know how the game was played, so here I am, was super helpful thank you

At 8:23, when random tokens are kept, 2 RED are adjacent to each other. As per rule book, we should make sure that no two Reds are adjacent to each other. Hope you make that correction in the video.

There’s no way... I just ordered this an hour ago, and was thinking of looking up a video to show my family, and right as I got on, your notification popped up!

This was a good supplement to the rulebook which helped speed up my learning. Got it for Christmas and the rulebook was simple enough, but I wanted to confirm with a video, which this has done. Many thanks!

its been many years since ive played this game and I just bought it to play with my 7 and 8 year old son. After reading the provided rules twice, I was still confused. This video helped a ton!

[JohnPaglinawaan]

Arghh the panic attack I had when the pastures deck were off placed at 1:25. Thank you for fixing it

[DeDyson]

Just saying thanks. Last time I played this was over 20 years ago. I needed a good refresher, and here it is.

[MidgetPally]

Thanks Man. I like to watch video tutorials to learn and use the rule book as a reference. You did a great job!

[neversleep]

Very helpful video, also many great comments with the technicalities within the game. It's a pretty overwhelming game at first!

[Midiman]
