20.01.2023These games are too complex for me. I play board games for relaxation, not mental exhaustion lol

20.01.2023The game play has not been explained very accurately
KyleSG88
20.01.2023Not bad for a quicker video but for someone who's never played before this video is missing many key details. There is some longer videos on you tube that explain more.

15.01.2023At 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.

15.01.2023This 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.
LT Rose
15.01.2023Question, can a player begin the game by placing a settlement directly next to a harbor thereby receiving trade in benefits?

Where's Ernie Now?
15.01.2023One of our favorites. Here's our website that we've been working on https://rulesofboardgames.com/rules-for-settlers-of-catan/
The Quarter Acre Homestead
15.01.2023What about the distance rule? No settlements next to each other. Your example violates this.
Nikolai
15.01.2023at 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
Cole Dorillo
15.01.2023Thanks you piece.
Jose Velasquez
14.01.2023The official game rules says if a 7 is rolled than any player with MORE than 7 must discard half rounded down
Michael Viart
14.01.2023Thanks for the video! Very clear directions!

14.01.2023i was actually searching for funny satanic cat stuff but it turns out its a game too.
Murtaza Badshah
14.01.2023I think you missed a big part about the road placement and settlement placements
zyeuh
14.01.2023You do not lose half of your cards if you have 7 or less when a robber is rolled. Couple of other corrections need to be made in your video but overall it was ok.

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.

Very well done. I also question the phrasing of the number of cards that need to be discarded when the robber is activated. The rules state "more than 7" and "(ie, 8 or more) in the 5th ed. It would also have been nice to talk about the Distance Rule when doing the game setup. Again, great job, and the students at my school really benefited from this video. Nice work!

11.01.2023its 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!
Josh Rochon
11.01.2023Can the robber be moved to any hex or only a hex that borders the one it’s currently in?

11.01.2023When you roll a 7, you lose half your cards if you have more then 7 cards. Round down for odd numbers.
