Top tip: don't go for 6 and 8 fields, the dice realise they're used in Catan and actively avoid rolling the statistically most probable roll and favour 3 or 12 instead.... except for 7.

A little tip with the monopoly card: If you are playing on a board, sometimes you can tell what resources are in the opponent's hands due to the size of the resource decks!

I used to play this game with my family every Sunday evening. There are 5 people in my family, so my friends would fight over who got the 6th spot. It would often get booked out several weeks in advance.

We had a big trophy that someone found at a thrift store. Whoever won got to keep the trophy that week.

We also had the title "Big Fat Jerk of Catan" and whoever hosed everyone else the worst during gameplay got that title for the week. I was so proud of myself when I got the BFJC title after using your strategy where I traded over a dozen of a single resource, then used the Monopoly card to steal them all back, then built the last 3 or 4 things I needed for the win.

I also set our family record for fastest win. Every roll of the dice gave me multiple of the exact resources I needed. It was either my fourth or fifth turn, and I built the last thing I needed to win. The game was over in around 17 minutes.

Those were such fun times 😊

The point that a 6-on-wheat produces more ore than a 2-on-ore was pretty powerful, not something I ever thought of.

That power move with trading all your resources that you have a surplus of and then using monopoly is so insanely funny. I am 100% going to try that when possible

Very well organized and helpfully clear. Also, it's nice to see some respect for the Year of Plenty card! Another advantage is that the two cards it represents are not vulnerable to theft or sevening out as they would be in the player's hand.

Great breakdown! Just played the game for the first time the other night and wanted to know more! Glad I clicked your video rather than these others! Great insight for new players!

What games would you like to see an Ultimate Strategy Guide for next?

Edit: A few quick corrections. When discussing the wood-brick strategy I misspoke and mentioned building 6 settlements, when the maximum number of settlements you can build is 5. Also, some of the virtual tabletop demonstrations are to illustrate a concept, and might not realistically portray an actual in-game scenario.

Dude I love your videos. You have supreme taste in hobbies and topics, and your videos are comprehensive. You are currently one of the few “instant click” channels I’m subscribed to.

Great tips, I really want to get better at Catan, I finally caved and ordered the game. In the past I only played it at board game cafes with coworkers and because I’m fairly inexperienced with it I got bodied every time but I’m going to turn the tables soon lol
