USA CHAMPION makes HUGE MISTAKE - Catan Pro Analysis

⭐️Follow Me If You Are Awesome:

In this Pro game for $500, I provide multiple Catan strategy tips sprinkled throughout the video! A lot of these pertain to the Monopoly card. However, there are 3 main strategy tips that this game showcases that are taught at the end of the video.

Catan Strategy Tip #1 - Look at the ______'s __________!
This is essential when you have a monopoly, but it's also very useful for tracking cards in general. If you forget what everyone has, you can always use this tip to get a general idea of what resources are in play.

Catan Strategy Tip #2 - Be _______ with Monopoly, especially on a ___ board!
Whenever there are more opportunities to Monopoly, you should be implementing this tip. The Monopoly can easily be the worst and best development card in the game, and to get its maximum potential use this tip.

Catan Strategy Tip #3 - Think about Monopoly in terms of "___ ____ ____ ______ __ ____?"
A common trap when using the Monopoly is to simply think about the number of cards you are going to get, when in reality this may not be the optimal strategy. You want to actually be thinking about BOTH the number of resources you're going to get AND this tip. Monopoly is easily one of the most misused development cards in the game, and using this tip can help you gain more value.

I will be making Catan content full time so please consider checking out my Patreon page. I am offering an advanced trading masterclass for 5$!

One of my Patrons said “Without Dylan's trading master class, I could not have reached the top 100 online. For a long time, I thought my game was missing something and I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, but the trading masterclass has made me a lot more confident in my ability to win.”

You are one of the reasons my family hates playing catan with me xD
Keep up the good work!

[benjamina]

Honestly never thought I’d be watching catan on YouTube or be playing except with my family at the beach but now I’m hooked and I hop on colonist every couple nights. Absolutely fantastic content and you also just seem like a great guy. Keep it up

I love how the YTubers space has evolved and we're all so happy to see our favorite creators get sponsorships.
But seriously, I'm happy! I hope it can help you make even more great content in the future!

[Fkellog]

Thumbs up for the amazing edit: you talk us through a game in such a beautiful manner!

[santaisreal]

Ik I am 3 months late, but I just wanna say I love how you go over games and make it understandable to almost anyone in an exciting way, keep it up!

I rarely click the bell icon, but you sir have been added to my notifications. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I have made/ taught my family your tips and now I get to play challenging games at home.

If I was Hawkeye I would be tabletalking grey and green like crazy to trade me wood and brick for that wheat port. I know you got a bit lucky with the year of plenty but even knights would have helped you rob grey of precious woods to get that settlement. The other players should have prioritized feeding Hawkeye that port to stop that insanely monstrous setup you had, you absolutely blew everyone away.

This is so good. I love how excited you sound as you narrate. It makes it all sound so intense. Which it totally is, because it's Catan. ; )

[jullxx]

Thanks for trying out this new quick style of putting a game together. I like it a lot. Please still upload longer ones in the future though. Those are also very nice. I especially enjoy when you include the game talk.

Hi DyLighted,

First time commenter here (as in I never make video comments). My girlfriend and I recently got into Catan through a friend. Since then, we've been playing a few times a night on Colonist.io.

Your videos are really insightful and informative! I play and write guides for another strategy game as a hobby that I'm also trying to eventually go full-time. Seeing you take this full-time is really motivational. I know first-hand how much work goes into planning, explaining, and executing such great content. Much respect to you and your hard work!

Keep it up!

[WaIlabeast]

I’ve really enjoyed this series so far and really like how you break every scenario and decision down. Really helps a newer player like myself out!

[philipeick-vocalmusic]

So cool with your insights during the pauses.
I’m actually watching this vid for the 2nd time 😅

[jeeneeuz]

Make that baaaank DyLighted (haven't watched yet but I believe in u)

[merekcook]

So grateful for the tooltip with resource question marks. I had no idea

[ErLong]

Better title: YouTube catan player destroys NATIONAL CHAMPION with amazing usage of the monopoly 😆

[subtlejasian]

I'm just here to comment for the Youtube algorithm because I love your videos man - you do a great job explaining and it's really helped me practice :) Keep it up bro!!

I like it when you show the end of game stats. In this case the dice stats show how 4, 5, and 6 absolutely dominated 8, 9, and 10, which led to a big resource differential between you and gray vs. blue and green. I think you were well positioned, but had the dice been more balanced things would have been interesting.

26:30 I thought the correct order of moves in a turn is: Trades -> Dice roll -> Buying/Building. Didnt know you can do all 3 whenever you want. Am I missing something?

[lukeroberts]

4:31 Personally I would rather have the 5 9 10 with wood and ore since it gets you good production of wood with a close 3:1 port along with a pairing for a longest road game if grey doesn't cut you off. I am influenced though since my 2 most recent games were longest road wins.
13:37 I would try to trade for either woods or wheat and try to get both the settlement on the wheat port and the city
19:30 I would wait longer on the monopoly until there were more wheats on the board or there were enough ores to have two cities/multiple dev cards, so I'd probably play the knight instead

Very in depth, I've never seen a Catan analysis before, but it was very thorough and enjoyable! I would appreciate this video even if I had no idea what the game was; your diction is just so succinct yet comprehensive.
