This is a good tutorial my cousin is coming Over in 30 mins so I had to learn this game really fast thanks
Enjoy
The game manual is too messy , my cousins have to wait for me to finishing decode the rule lol
how was your game
I lost to my cousins today and badly!! Now, I am preparing myself for the next battle.
How’d your game go bro
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.
Cuz it's kinda common sense like how do you get resources to a place you can't access
@@gerking195 no its not common sense there are plenty of games which have similar mechanics but they are used differently. For example in civilization V, you can build cities wherever, roads only grant you bonus gold upon connecting cities.
@@Hudini901 it’s definitely common sense / obvious. You just aren’t very smart
@@jasont4400 I don't know about but that is certainly a rude comment
@@jasont4400 Hudini901 brought up a really good point and its constructed in a non-aggressive manner. Not sure why you gotta make things personal when its a perfectly legitimate concern.
This 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.
There’s no way... I just ordered this an hour ago, and was thinking of looking up a video to show my family, and right as I got on, your notification popped up!

The chosen one
Thank your FBI agent

I wish for 4 player magic realm, catan is too simple.
Randomly came across a video of people playing this, then needed to know how the game was played, so here I am, was super helpful thank you
This was a good supplement to the rulebook which helped speed up my learning. Got it for Christmas and the rulebook was simple enough, but I wanted to confirm with a video, which this has done. Many thanks!
Very clear cut tute I’ve seen yet. I’m playing and learning from two experienced friends tomorrow. 🙏🙏🙏
Very helpful video, also many great comments with the technicalities within the game. It's a pretty overwhelming game at first!
Very clear and well-explained! Thank you for simply stating the instructions, and having no unnecessary frills!
What do you mean bro, it doesn't even explain how to play the game.
@kingkongdong7042 Yes it does... it outlines each turn phase, the order of turns, what is possible through each phase, and what each action is for. Watch it again.
Just saying thanks. Last time I played this was over 20 years ago. I needed a good refresher, and here it is.
Really really helpful explanation!! Thanks dude!
Thank you so much for creating this video!
That was WAY better than the 4 minute video from a different channel. Thank you.
Is it weird I know what video you’re talking about...
@@Johnnyquagmiregirl rules 😅
Excellent tutorial! Thank you.
Love this game! We just started playing this about 3-4 months ago. It's SOOOOO Much fun!!! I didn't know about a city breaking a road path and cancelling the longest road. That's interesting. I'll have to remember that next time we play it.
This was very helpful! Thank You!🙂
this was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! Very helpful.
Great video, helped me and my buddies!
I love this! Great voice, clear as crystal 😍
its 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!
Thanks helps a lot
Several years ago my sister and brother-in-law introduced me to this game, and I've been hooked ever since. ❤
Thanks. Great video, entertaining and succinct!
Great explanation, it's was concise and clearly explained
Thanks I just got the game for christmas and this was super helpful
Thanks so much for this excellent video - really well explained and clear for a newbie. Playing it for the first time tomorrow, now I’m confident I’ll know what I’m doing!
Update - I won my first game! 🙌😀
Nice
Great stuff. Excellent video. Straight to the point an no faff. Makes it easy for n00bs to grasp!
Maybe Im wrong, But I believe if you have 7 cards you are safe from the robber. Directions say "more" than 7 not 7 or more
There may have been an eratta at some point on that wording. Catan is a pretty old game, after all.
You are correct. In the 5th ed. the rules state "more than 7" and "(ie 8 or more)"
That’s correct. Or at least that’s the way I’ve been playing it
Yeah I also read rule book it says more than 7
Very helpful. I was so clueless before I watched this
Thank you for this tutorial my friends are playing it rn and I feel very left out. Finally I can partake in this lovely game. Thanks once again
Have fun!

Same bro
This was uploaded exactly on my birthday...
That was one real good tutorial.
Oh god this is sooo helpful!! you're definitely a life saver🥲✨ I wasn't able to understand how to play this game even after reading the rules out, thankfully I watched your video😁 Tysm!!💜
Arghh the panic attack I had when the pastures deck were off placed at 1:25. Thank you for fixing it
lmao
Zoloft
Very helpful. Thankyou
Thanks for the video! Very clear directions!
Excellent tutorial
Nice video this helped a lot
Thanks really helpful. Keen to play the game
thank u this means alot u made my day ty
got this game today and now understand it more thanks
but will need a few games to fully get it
one of my friends were frustrated cuz of how dumb i was playing this game, this helped a ton! ❤😊
I a actually learned to play without the border and even made a way to make it a two player. I have not played in a long time. Miss it!
Thanks you piece.
Best tutorial ever!
Great vid!
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!
What's the Distance rule?
@@saritagundeti305 oh like you need to have 2 roads away from your building and your opponents buildings to build another at 5:49 you can see that orange and white have a settlement adjacent to the 6 on the left they are close to each other which is not allowed
I have always played if it’s 8 or more than 8
great tutorial. by the way I think the robber has no effect on cards less than 8. Rule say "if you have more than 7 cards" and even specifies it means equals 8 or more.
However if you get robbed when you have 7, it will make the game level harder and requires even more stronger hand and risk management.
I just bought catan cus I've always wanted to play it and this really helped with understanding the rules. Thank you. Now I just need the expansions XD
Sorry, but what expansions?
@@thesoundforest9300 I think there are like 5. One that I recently got was the seafarers expansion. They just make the board bigger and add a few different mechanics
love the board game dude
Thanks!
Great job bro!
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks for the info i got confused some times and had to read some of the rules but otherwise great vid
god what a nice summarization
I was bought this for my birthday. Oddly, your video is putting me off playing it.
I just played it for the first time with my family. It was a lot of fun!
I think they need to make it a little more complicated and non intuitive.
After watching this video, I played this with my sister and brother in law. I almost won even though it was my first try, but I was collecting the knight card because I thought I have to collect the 3 knights first then give them away to get the point card. Later when I put all 3 cards down, I realised that I had to play them 3 times, not collect them. And then my sister won. But it was really a fun experience. And I used alot of beginner's luck.
**BE CAREFUL**
Great video but PLEASE read the paper instructions in their entirety. I don't know if this is just an old video and the new sets of Catan have been updated but this video omits a LOT of information. We didn't know until we played with a more seasoned player and were told that we're playing CRITICAL aspects of the game completely wrong. No hate, just want people to avoid the same mistakes we made.
Thanks! Very helpful and well done. I appreciate that.
Looks like fun👍
at 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
Was looking for this comment. You are correct.
You the real mvp.
If anyone doesn’t understand I highly recommend watching the video in 0,5 times speed. Actually helpful
Now he's drunk 😂
Can I please ask what equipment do you use for making these birds eye videos?
what a great video
'The Catan Dice Game' is very entertaining as well. You can also play single player which is a top 5 dice, card, or board/tabletop single player game for me.
I'd like to know what you think about it.
At 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.
I don't recommend random tokens (even with no 2 adjacent REDs) It can create quite the unfair game. keeping the correct order really help to spread players over the board and not having rally bad areas.
@@thijsbaarda I didn't know about putting them in alphabetical order lol. Now I wanna play again, cause I always thought the game felt unfair when randomly placed.
i watch this every day
And yes, you need more than 7 cards meaning 8 and above in order to return half of them (rounded down) to the bank.
Check out Seven Wonders & Seven wonders Duel. Very similar aspects, if you like this, you will like that
A lot of information! But when I think about it, it's not that hard!
sent this to my friend who said he wants to play with me =)
Thank you, I brought all the series years ago, still sealed.... Will have to break them open
Catan vbs no how long I good video fight
The game blessed
Great! Is there any card play u wants to introduce to us?
Gracias, Thanks, Merci !😁
You are a life saver the intrusions didn’t do shit
do settlements have to be attached to roads? and at the begginning can the second settlement be anywhere on the board
As I was truly enjoying your lesson I noticed something, the pieces had moved. They were in different spots. I had been hoping to see a continuous game. But thank you for clarifying second placement.
Do I need 2 roads before I can place a settlement?
I have a second hand set that seems to have everything but the harbor tokens which were mentioned after explaining everything without explaining their purpose. Do I need them or not? What are they for?
You only give up cards to the Robber if you have more than 7 resource cards. Other than that, great video!
He said that fucko
Have to learn this game for a social work function and, dear god, whoever invented this game clearly wasn’t getting any $3x at any given point in his life. No offense. Thank you, This tutorial was very helpful.
Hahahahaha 😂😂
Thank u soo much we has no idea how to play lol
I watched this video first, and understood a little though I was not looking forward to playing it. I then watched from Watch it played, and I got a better handle of the game, and it seemed like a decent game. Im just saying if you watch this and are not inspired to play, watch more videos. For me, this video is good because its quick and short. But I recommend watching others as well.
Did you end up liking the game?
Can either of your fist settlements builds be placed at a harbor trade?
Correct me if I'm wrong. But aren't progression cards only used in Catan: Cities and Knights?
Can the robber be moved to any hex or only a hex that borders the one it’s currently in?
I want to learn to play Catan.
1) Do you have build a settlement near the harbour (at the ending point) to get resourers..?
2) in my turn play the dice...Can i play more than 2 or more development card at my turn ?
Thank you your explanation helped a lot 👍
You have to build a settlement to trade, just a road isn't good enough. You can only play 1 development card a turn, and not on the turn you bought it.
I have the version by Kosmos with plastic figures. It looks much more realistic and beautiful.
after you rolled a 7 and moved the robber and steel a card from your opponent the first time. do you do the same thing every time you roll a 7
Ma fehemet shi, thank you
Do you have a video on how to play cities and knights? Cuz people can watch that before watching a few of my cities and knights gameplay videos if they are curious enough to check them out
So wait. 1:00 the number tokens are always in the same order then based on the letters on the back? But the tiles are random?
How are the resource cards decided when they are given out?
Its whatever you place your settlement on, it's the ones its touching
The hexagons which your second settlement is touching. You should get three resource cards
Looking at 5:25... Are we allowed to have settlements one space/road apart?
I think when you have a settlement/ city, the 3 adjacent intersections are unbuildable
No, settlements/cities must have two spaces/roads apart!
superb video
Wow, and I thought card fight vanguard was technical.
it is a very very nice game!!!
if you have 2 settlements or cities next to the same resource hex, do you receive the resource amount for all? i.e. each city receives 2, if you have 2 cities next to the same forest, do you get 4 wood cards?
yes, you are right, you can get a maximum of six points from each hex, if you have 3 cities build on it
if you roll a 7 any player who has 8 or more cards must discard half (rounded down), (not 7 or more cards like the video says).
