Catan Players

I was full of win for this 6 player game of Catan. It all started with our initial placements. I was first to place which meant my 2nd settlement would do its best to get me some resources as it would be the last to place. My first placement left me unable to produce Wood and Wheat. My options were then Wood on 8,5 or Wood-Wheat on 12-3. I took the 8-5 wood and Ian threw a major fit. He questioned my intelligence because I was abandoning wheat. It also might have to do with Ian having a road going towards that same 8-5 spot. 8’s and 5’s then started hitting like nobody’s business. I might have been wood’s biggest supplier which allowed me to trade for wheat. I believe I also got incredibly lucky. I purchased 3 development cards through the course of the game. The first was a Year of Plenty to help build a city since I didn’t have any wheat. Second card was Monopoly which I used for brick. It was rare throughout the game and it had just yielded the most it had at any point in the game. Built some roads and a settlement, traded the rest back to the other for more wheat and another city. Third development card was a Road Builder. This helped me take the Longest Road. On the same turn I built a settlement on a Sheep port which I immediately used to trade in sheep for wheat. This let me build one more city for the win.

Game’s Biggest Jerk: Me for not even bothering to mention how everyone else did. All I know is they all finished with less points than me.
