boosting this for the others watching

yeah getting road with no brick and army with a 3 ore shows the power of timely trading and proper tracking

Black and red had no idea that was possible they just flamed blue for it after

There are 2 main reasons for this: 1. If you recall at the start of the video, I said we have the possibility to connect for a road play given our proximity of settles. Holding the road builder would give us the ability to take road with only 1 road. This could come in handy in many calculations. Let’s say I pull 2 vps, army, and have 2 cities down, I can use the RB to connect FTW. 2. By waiting and not showing I have 2 open settles, it does limit my threat levels. By showing the board I have limited settle opportunities, it will help me stay off the radar. Obviously there is some negatives to losing the easier spot as it could make my endgame a bit more difficult but I try to be as patient as I can for higher value plays. Luckily the 2 hit to help the winning play.

That's why you are where you are and he is where he is

​@@dandydrew you also played a knight that turn, its not like you just passed without using a dev. Prioritezed fighting for army (red had 3 played vs yours 2) and end up making an Ore the led to the wining knight.

Good point Robert.

Colonist

Luck

And a dumb opponent in blue lol@@dandydrew

@@BeeEmEcksIt’s easy to point the finger at Blue but I don’t think anyone saw a 6 point swing happening that turn, that includes YT who knows my devs and cards. I got trades from everyone on this board and to be fair, black was the person who traded me the brick that lead to the 52 port settle into the 2 roll. Not fair to blame 1 player here.

​@@dandydrewblack pointed fingers on blue but he should be the one extending road 😅
